  1. they do nothing ,get rid of them ,,bunch of leech's


  2. Take the money and Lord it

  3. they give the people the feeling that they are being ruled and everything is under control, otherwise chaos will rule instead

  4. =  I liked the answer by "Hiram A. Piff". I'm not suprised that he only has 3% Best Answer rating.

    ======================================

    =  Probably the most unromantic reason for existence is the tourist dollar. Tourism is a 15 billion pound business in UK. The Royal family costs 40 million pounds last year.

    = Even a few percentage points of the tourist market is huge. One percentage of the tourist business is almost four times the cost of the monarchy.

    = England has more tourist revenue than Germany, a country physically larger and more populous.

    --------------------------------------...

    Many European tourists, and a lot of North American tourists, are not going to travel to UK  because of the monarchy. However, the monarchy is still hugely popular with Arabs and Asians. It is expected that there will be an additional 1/2 billion international tourists in 12 years. Many of them will elect to go to England over Germany because of interest in the traditions associated with the royal family.

  5. As an American, I have to say that it gives a country a sense of history and continuity.  We don't have royalty, so we try to create it out of celebrities.  I know that I probably have a rose colored view of it, but I think it's a unique cultural thing that shouldn't be lost.

  6. To put it in a nutshell.~

    They are servants to the people.  They are paid by the people and remain as kings and Queens because of the people.  

    They must be doing something right, otherwise the monarchy would have been long gone history by now.

    In todays world, it's almost like a circus circus.  Just look at the tabloids.

    I must admit, they do tend to bring some stability to tradition and their country, despite the crazy things written about them.

    The work they do, such as charities, functions etc. etc. is practically required from them.

    If you you think they are fortunate, you might want to rethink again.  Would you trade your own FREEDOM for a TITLE AND MONEY?!

    I WOULDN'T~~

    ...and yes, they do bring money to their country.  Have you checked their earnings lately??!!

  7. What an impudent question!!!!    What do they DO?

    They spend our money of course.

  8. Let me quote author Tina Brown from The Diana Chronicles:

    "For most Britons,the Crown is the golden thread that connects the people to the most glorious moments of their history,exercising a force for stability in an otherwise bewilderingly changing world."

    The Crown represents a constitutional force above politics. Politicians may come and grow,they may do great harm to their countries,but the crown is a stable force that holds a government together.

    As to what do they do:

    for a look at the Queen's working day.

  9. Tourism brings in a lot of money for London.

    I usually dislike the royals and would prefer a republic, however in recent times, given the credit crunch and spiralling costs of food and oil, I have started to respect the queen...She keeps the politicians ego's in check!

    Did you notice recently how politicians gave themselves a payrise.? Well somebody above them to has to keep check!

    That must rally p**s M.P's off!

    ..and Good!

  10. They are of immense benefit.  having a monarch as head of state rather than an elected president saves us having yet more tiresome elections, and also saves us a lot of money.  

    The royal family costs every Briton 66p a year.  The italian presidency costs each Italian almost double at £1.24  As Frederich Forsythe put it in the Daily Express:

    "We get the most famous woman in the world.  All together now - who is Italy's President?

    Since 1760 we, the people have cut an annual deal with each monarch; we vote the crowned head a Civil List (an annual allowance) and the monarch passes over to the people the income from the Crown Estates.  Last year the monarchy cost £40 million.  The Crown Estates made us £200 million.  We made a profit of £160 million out of the monarchy."

    So yes, I do think they bring benefits to the country.

  11. They give rise to the fallacy that there are people in this country who are better than the rest of us and thus deserve our respect and money.

  12. thay bring a lot of tourism into the country, and thay do a lot for international trade

  13. They are Rosecrutians and control the Freemasons to use us as Slaves as they always did.

    The Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.

    He is the Top "York Rite" Freemason.

    She is the Head "Witch" of the Wiccan Cult.

    And the Duke of Edingburough is the Top "Scottish Rite" Freemason.

    And the Queern is the World Patron of the "Freemasons".

    The "Freemasons" The "Brotherhood of Death"

    It is a secret society, because you do not know who members are and what they plan to do. They do not give much to charity because their charity is their own members.

    They look after their own, any child needs life saving surgery the fraternity pays for it.

    It is corrupt they own the federal bank and the bank of England, they print money out of nothing and it is not regulated. They include the Rothschild’s, Morgan’s and the Rockefellers. Blair and bush are high ranking masons; Blair is a 7th degree mason. There are two factions of the free masons originating in the UK the York right and the Scottish right. Masons from York went and build major buildings in New York including the statue of Liberty, the moved from York England and build a city in America and called it the New York. Washington including the Whitehouse was build by freemasons from Edinburgh Scotland.

    The free masons control the economic order of the world and it is they who are creating the economic fall at present. Money means nothing to them as they have too much; it’s about power for them and the games they play with us. We are their monopoly board and we are expendable. Their plan is to reduce the population by 85% through war disease and ill health

    Dr Gallo (Go to you tube and type in his name) was funded in the 1960's by the US government to produce a deadly virus to reduce the black population in America. All the vaccines for Aids contain the aids virus and mercury. All vaccines for children and the flu bug contain the 2d most deadly poison on earth MERCURY. They put fluoride in our water which destroys the thyroid gland and leads to cancer. They put cancerous chemicals in our processed foods and poison the air over our cities. There is a cure for cancer but they will not tell you because the pharmaceutical companies are owned by them, they and cancer are the biggest money making rackets after war and oil. All cancer is, is a vitamin deficiency of B17 and vitamin D which creates a strong immune system fighting cancer.

    The Rothschild’s were the largest and richest land owners in the UK during the Napoleonic war. When Britain defeated France at Waterloo Rothschild was the first person to be informed. So he went to the stock market and sold all his property. Other wealthy owns watched Rothschild selling all that he owned so the quickly followed suit thinking that they had lost the war to France. When they did Rothschild bought everything back and more and huge discounts. Forget the wealthy Arab prince's the Rockefellers and Rothschild’s have far more wealth and one time they owned two thirds of the world!

    Masonic Entered Apprentice Oath.  Entered Apprentice is the first of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out, and with my body buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs and flows twice in twenty-four hours, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of an Entered Apprentice.  So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    Masonic FellowCraft Oath.  FellowCraft is the second of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my left breast torn open, my heart and vitals taken thence, and with my body given as a prey to the vultures of the air, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Fellow Craft. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    Masonic Master Mason’s Oath.  Master Mason is the third of the three basic degrees of Masonry.

    To all of which I do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, without any hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasion of mind in me whatsoever; binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my body severed in twain, my bowels taken thence, and with my body burned to ashes, and the ashes thereof scattered to the four winds of Heaven, that there might remain neither track, trace nor remembrance among man or Masons of so vile and perjured a wretch as I should be, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate this, my solemn Obligation of a Master Mason. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.

    NOBODY WHO MAKES AN OATH LIKE THAT IS FIT TO SERVE THE PUBLIC!

  14. stability, inevitability, protection from dictators. Look at the nations today with monarchs as head of state where they are nevertheless democracies.
