point out the profit other than tourism

 

The Royals generate no profit as such but we get to keep most of the income from the Crown's holdings which is widespread. The Crown own the seabed around the UK so all those wind farms sat on it actually generate money for the Crown and government through lease agreements.

is a quid worth less than a quid because it comes from tourism?

i a still waiting for your evidence of your claim that the royal family bring in more than they cost?

there is no evidence to suggest that tourists would not go to London if the queen was not on the throne.?

perhaps.....but i see you didnt offer any evidence either

[banjodeano]

looks like a stalemate because i am waiting for anything from yourself that is not pure opinion. go google. there are plenty of reports showing the income the royals are either directly, or indirectly responsible for generating to the uk.

 

i though am not interested in doing that research for you. and you dont want to go look because your stuck in your rigid mindset and dont want to find anything that may force you to change your mind

 

nothing to offer then......like i said, the french have far more tourists than us, and they have no royal family....??

His argument is, the royals generate money, the royals generate money from the land they hold, if the country held that land, we would as a nation, still generate money from that land:)
