I'm willing to be rates of internet access are lower amongst the homeless population than your average middle-class punter. Most homeless I worked with - if they had a mobile - would have a cheap greenscreen PAYG. They usually had very little credit so would mainly us the phones for texting / brief calls. Our drop in session when they could use a few pc's with internet access was usually packed. Edited January 11, 2019 by Longcol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing they would have in their bags would be a smartphone. The ones you see with the mobiles are the hustlers and beggars, not the real homeless/street people, who rarely beg.

The "Royals" bring precious little money into the UK coffers imho. The money spinners are the Properties owned by the Royals and Properties owned by UKpc. I am sure a tourist from far off lands doesn't think to himself/herself, lets visit the UK and have tea with Lizzie. Far more likely to say, lets visit the UK to see Buck Palace, the Tower of London and many other fine landmarks.

Your OP suggesting the homeless read your internet forum post set it off on the wrong foot. By twisting facts and silly title, you've wasted hat could have been a useful thread.

buddysbuddy Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 14 hours ago, ECCOnoob said: I have no idea what the OP is trying to achieve with his post. Homeless people are not thick. They know full well that we live in a monarchy, have a royal family and there is a sovereign grant. I am pretty sure the homeless have bigger fish to fry than worry how the royal household choose to allocate their annual budget. Maybe the OP needs to actually learn what the sovereign grant is and how much the government raked in from the crown estate in the last profits. the last senence is very important. I would guess that most people who rant about the cost of the royals have no idea how this payment is funded. If any of you wish to educate yourselves on this look up "the soveriegn grant" that explains very well how the royals are funded. and no I am not going to give you the link. do what I did and look it up.

That's how I read it and don't forget the thousands of people the crown employ from caterers to stable caretakers, horse trainers, gardeners etc etc. 57 minutes ago, Albert smith said: Please point out where Said that homeless people read the internet .
