      The royal family brings in a net positive amount of revenue of you account for receipts from added tourism and spending. The expenses for shipping around the US President for example is another story.

        As an American, if I got cancer like this dude has, having a job there is a very high chance I’d be destitute IF I lived. World class medical treatment off the backs of his subjects… yeahno my dude, worlds smallest violen playing.jpeg

        He can wipe his cancer tears up with whatever the largest denomination of pounds you guys use is xD

          But he’s British and we have a good NHS so that’s kinda a weird argument

          I hate the royal family but for reasons that many sense

            NHS is being gutted as we speak and is not true Single Payer.

            It’s markedly better than the dystopian system in the US…but please stop trying to pretend that NHS is beyond reproach. It is not true Single Payer.

            Only Canada and South Korea have TRUE single payer healthcare systems.
