What I want is for someone to provide evidence and a transparent and sound business case which justifies the continued amount of tax revenues we pay to support their lives and their existence and proves that they bring in more than they cost. Even a statement or two on added value would be acceptable.
And that includes the policing and security bills for royal (I'm no longer capitalising them).
If someone can genuinely show that they provide an unequivocal net positive return then I'll shut up for good on this one. Which should please quite a few people apparently.
You can't quantify all the benefits of having a royal family. Why should the head of state have to 'add value'? Have you quantified the benefits of an alternative to see if that adds up to an unequivocal net positive return?
