Left wing? What's left wing about fairness?? I don't have views one way or the other about monarchy. It's a bit old fashioned in this day and age (laughable really) but, hey, if the people want it, let 'em have it. The people obviously DO want it, so let's keep having it.
But it bugs me how the Royals want it all: to live like Kings and play at being paupers. If playing at paupers doesn't cost us mere mortals anything, financially or otherwise, then fine. But if Royals dabbling with the ordinary man means the ordinary man is displaced, then the Royals need to pay. Because they've got enough privileges already.
Simple common sense. Innit??
