The Welfare Queen

Is Britain's "Royal Family" a waste of taxpayer cash or good value for money?

The Daily Telegraph's take is here.

Don't be fooled, though: the figures they use do not even begin to cover the actual costs of maintaining the royals (i.e. they do not include security). Also, by virtue of birth, each member of the royal family has an "estate" from which they earn millions of pounds of personal income. So when you add it all up, these ribbon-cutting clowns (our sentiment shining through yet?) cost a pretty pound indeed.

Perhaps this explains why so many in this country are dependent on benefits-for-nothing and government handouts: it is the behavior modeled by the queen!
