totally wrong
the monarch repatriation is not paid out of your pockets nor any UK tax payer
the costs are all met from the air travel reserve fund (a Bond) set up after the Clarksons Court line collapse in 1974 (it was called TOSG then)
that collapse was big almost 50000 repatriated in 1974 - this is more than twice that
any air ticket and ATOL booking is costed with an amount into that when tour operators and airlines place their bond with the CAA
