Bazj Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just another reason to get rid of the monarchy According to Sky, the Duke of York has cost the taxpayer just over ?4 million over the past 10 years in his business ambassador role.... one company alone increased their turnover from ?5million to ?20million after some wheeling and dealing from the Duke; so their tax bill alone on the extra revenue almost paid for him for the past 10 years! If you don't like the monarchy Kije, bog off to Frog Land and take your togas to somewhere they will feel at home. The Monarchy bring far more into the country than they cost and would you really want a President like the USA which costs billions and billions?
