And yet we are in this together

Oh for heavens sake Maizie that is SO not the point.

Kate & Williams main family home is in Norfolk in the grounds of Sandringham.

Charles & Camila have several to pick from.

I do realise Maizie all to well. What sticks in my craw is the simpering, obsequious, adoration, can’t do anything wrong, worshipping of the RF. The Duke of Westminster tax affairs are a national disgrace for example but I’m not expected to hero worship him am I ? Having a RF is the rotten core of inequality as it confers status, privilege, power and wealth based solely on birth.

What is so weird about all this angst is that the poor woman is famously extremely frugal in her private life.

It’s a myth about the tourism - given the historical and cultural richness of London, tourists would come anyway, just as they do to Paris and other European capitals and cities. If C and C and K and W had wanted to stay in London, they would have. It suited them fine to run away - and no most of us didn’t, we stayed at home.

I think that if people realised just how many other extremely rich people have inherited large amounts of money and do nothing at all to 'earn' their incomes they'd either get crosser about the appalling inequality that exists in the UK or get the RF's income a little more into proportion.

Of course it’s wrong - she’s not even earning her crust is she? I wonder if the teacher bashers have anything to say about her staying at home with just the occasional bit of online engagement. In fact none of them have done their job during this crisis - all ran away to country estates/palaces - and you know what, we managed perfectly well without them. They are all parasites and very much surplus to requirements.

I don't think they "ran away" any more than we did. We were told what to do and did it. So did they.

There is absolutely no point in discussing the money - which brings in much larger amounts in tourism, etc. as you appear to have already decided the good and the bad of it.

It’s accurate - it’s now that matters not her apparently wonderful past.

Sorry suziewoozie but calling a 94 year old women who has served her country for nearly all her life past her sell by date is extremely rude.

I agree she had no choice but to isolate but we shouldn’t have such an old head of state - she’s past her sell by and should have abdicated years ago. She put herself in the position where can’t do her very very well paid job. It’s a disgrace. C and C and K and W should have stayed in a London.

I know of several people that have received pay rises and bonuses during this crisis.

I am a royalist and no way would I like to see them replaced by a Presidential style Head of State.

Some are 'more equal than others' - disgraceful!

I think all older folk should isolate actually but I agree with everything else Suziewoozie said. And food banks was the first thing I thought of. So many suffering so much hardship.
Apparently some people are more entitled. ...

That is a big pay rise no doubt. However I believe she has a right and a duty to isolate due to her great age.

Hard to swallow for all those losing their jobs and relying on food banks to feed their children.
