Get rid of the royals. Fuck them. They are a burden on society and the system.
Btw, has anybody verified those numbers though? It's a twitter post after all and they could be claiming anything without proof.

Speaking as a Canadian who's also living under the crown, it's complicated, exceedingly expensive and not really worth the work. In the context of Canada, it would require renegotiating an exceptional amount of treaties and the like, opening the door for provinces to start requesting changes to benefit themselves. Things get even more complicated with Québec involved.
I can only imagine the UK having magnitudes more history than us, it would be even more expensive and even more complicated.
With that said, maybe we can just write a law that ditches the current royalty and replaces them with something like an inanimate carbon rod?
Maybe it does pay back in tourism? Either way let's have the social housing as well.
Tourism pays even without the royals. Just look at Versailles.
In which case the taxpayer would still be paying to renovate Buckingham Palace. What's he going to do, sell it? Let us keep our pet family.
You are the pets.
That would imply they feed me, etc.
LMAO
Abolish the monarchy
