Touché

He is likely the only one whose mother's photo was splashed across the media for months after her death. Whose mother had photos of her topless on a boat as front page news, after her death. Whose mother's dead body was photographed and published. Whose mother's secret love life was published. Whose mother's death was sensationalised and speculated upon and still is. Whose grandmother was accused, by some circles, of being involved in his mother's death. Many people bang on about the privileges that "an unelected head of state and family" get. Most of them forget the downsides. Of all those who bleat on, how many would chose to do the job of the royal family? Not many, would be my guess.

Sensationalism. Simple research proves you are the OP us inaccurate.

So, your figures are gross salary prior to factoring housing costs?

To be honest, the lack of commentary during the games was weird. However, I didn't miss the post match punditry.

Your figures are after housing costs. Mac didn't state that. Let's see if he comes back to confirm either way. Your figures, in comparison to his, are inane until he does.

Does anyone really buy a TV license anymore? A TV licence is only required for using iPlayer and watching live TV. BBC doesn't have much to offer, what it does have is widely available a short time after broadcasting, and most other channels have catch up. Sports channels can easily be streamed as can movies.

Why? Visas applications come under UKVI. It is HMPO who are striking.

You seem to misunderstand or refuse to accept, I'm not sure which, that I am questioning your continual denial that you are moving the goalposts to suit yourself. Nothing to do with the Government, unless they tell you what to say.

It's not the government who keep moving the goal posts on a forum discussion. It is you.

It is difficult to agree with you when you move the goal posts so often. First the Albanians have been sent back and now only 500. Never mind. I have sufficient critical thinking skills, un affected by disdain for a particular political party, to see the real issues. Same all on here can't do the same.

Excellent. So we are in agreement. The government's immigration policy is not a total failure. Why didn't you mention that before? Actually, most of us know why.

So, a success for the government. Why did you not mention that when suggesting the immigration policy was a total failure?

I posted this link a few pages back. You must have conveniently missed it. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/factsheet-small-boat-crossings-since-july-2022/factsheet-small-boat-crossings-since-july-2022 42% from Albania. Who are they at war with?

More than 150k in some cases. Being married and having children helps. As does having life insurance. I seem to remember I could earn 210k before paying tax.

I would have to question, if this story is true, why did she not turn around and walk out of the door there and then? Why continue with 6 sessions?

The sovereign grant is usually 15% of the profits from the Crown estate, which are handed to the treasury. This can raise to 25% some years if there are extra expences, such as this year's coronation. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/royal-finances The split is therefor 15/85% or 25/75% in favour of the treasury. I'd say that's a net profit.

Well, what was the reason behind you calling Prince Andrew a pervert?

The Royal family (Crown Estate) are net contributors to the UK economy.

I work with a 74 year old woman whose husband is 51. They've been married over 30 years. Is she a pervert?

Head against a wall.????????????????. I guess it has been a long standing issue. That is what your doubters are saying. I would suggest the issue likely goes way past 13 years ago. No one has posted a link to show the issue started exactly at that time. The issues probably started when the previous government was in power. Why didn't they sort it?

Mine too. Hence my post about what obstacles the UK's immigration policies are facing.

I would have thought Redbottles would be more your thing.

To those with 360 degree vision, they are.

I've just pictured a beach scene with Corby in his speedos and Abbot in a slinky 2 piece. That's an image I need to get out of my head very quickly. ????????????
