"The fate of the prison has not dented the profits of the Duchy of Cornwall, however, which owns the land the village sits on. The taxpayer is still paying Prince William’s estate £1.5m a year to lease the abandoned prison, and is set to do so for another 24 years."
The #BBC #RadioScotland News keeps referring to the Crown Office not the #ProcuratorFiscal when reporting on matters of #ScotsLaw. Latest eg, tonight re #Lockerbie bomb #PanAm103
#Scotland has a separate legal system. This is the subtle, wilful erosion of Scottish identity, a deliberate redefining of the basis on which the Union was formed; rewriting history to suit a political agenda #YouYesYet? #ScottishIndependence #DissolveTheUnion #NotMyKing

NOT MY KING - in Middlesbrough today!
Charles visited the University in the city to be confronted by a not so supportive crowd! Well done to all the anti-monarchy protesters who attended today

Well done to the Alloa Resistance - making their views known when King Charles decides a photo op at their foodbank would be a great idea! #notmyking

I fucking love it.
My daughter: look daddy, I'm a princess
Me: being a member of the hereditary parasite class is nothing to aspire to
My wife: Chris, she is 5
I'm so much fun at parties

My understanding is that not only is Charles Windsor, through his business interests, charging significant sums to charities, but he pays no corporation tax either. How much did the tax payer stump up for his coronation? Why do we still put up with one family fleecing us?
When I was younger I was a royalist, but then I grew up.

I’ve made a petition. But it needs 5 signatures before it goes live. Will you sign it?

My petition:
Rent cap on properties owned by the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall
I’m putting together a petition. They don’t usually achieve much. But I feel like I have to do something.
They bought and then sold warehouse, nearly doubling their 30-odd million pound investment.
They own way more land than you probably think. Homes, schools, hospitals, shopping centres, beaches, the shoreline.
This is absolutely disgusting.
The UK government is cracking down on private rental homes that don’t comply with minimum standards.
You’re not going to believe this, but the royals are some of the worst offenders.
Shocking.
They’re literally slumlords!
While the royals bang on about the environment, they’re:
A. Charging rents to wind farms;
B. Causing environmental damage for the sale of a few quid; and
C. Profiting of the mining industry.
@b9AcE this is the correct way to treat people claiming to be kings.
Kings have always been parasites.
That's one of history's great unlearnt lessons.
Puts all their talk about social responsibility and so on into perspective #NotMyKing #fatcats https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/nov/02/king-and-prince-william-estates-millions-charities-public-services-nhs-leasing-land?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
“Rachel Reeves has been saying she must take 'tough decisions' in her upcoming Budget but if cuts are needed surely the monarchy is the place to start.
“Yet the cost of the monarchy has risen to half a billion pounds per year. The royal budget should be cut to the bone, not vital public services."

An Aboriginal protester has been arrested at the Sydney Opera House as crowds await a glimpse of the King and Queen on the final day of their tour in Australia.
Wayne Wharton, a prominent Indigenous activist from Brisbane, was arrested after shouting anti-monarchist slogans and refusing a police order to move on.
Much of the almost $30 billion wealth of the British monarchy comes from colonialism including theft of resources, art, treasures and people (slavery) etc.
Charles is the current dynastic head of an hereditary system based on the brutal rape and plunder of an empire including Australia. Sanitising it by calling it a Commonwealth doesn't change history.
@angiebaby @EndIsraeliApartheid I heard it on the radio.
Well done Lidia.
