    I don't "love" Israel or Maggie Thatcher.

    I don't see what's wrong with me thinking the royals aren't bad people, never stated they're saints and I'm also against the monarchy. Does everyone think they're utter scum? I don't see what they've done to be seen as that bad to be honest other than inheriting their backward monarchy.

    I can't remember I'll try and find the article it was from the winter heating fund :38:

    Edit from the independant

    12:00 AM BST, Friday 24 September 2010
    The Queen asked ministers for a poverty handout to help heat her palaces but was rebuffed because they feared it would be a public relations disaster, documents disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act reveal.
    Royal aides were told that the £60m worth of energy-saving grants were aimed at families on low incomes and if the money was given to Buckingham Palace instead of housing associations or hospitals it could lead to "adverse publicity" for the Queen and the Government.
    Aides complained to ministers in 2004 that the Queen's gas and electricity bills, which had increased by 50 per cent that year, stood at more than £1m a year and had become "untenable".

    The Royal Household also complained that the £15m government grant to maintain the Queen's palaces was inadequate.
    In search of more money-saving schemes, the Queen's deputy treasurer wrote to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to ask whether the Royal Household would be eligible for a grant to replace four combined heat and power (CHP) units at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
    He asked: "Community Energy can fund up to 40 per cent of the capital costs of implementing a community heating scheme... Since we are already grant-in-aid funded [the Queen receives £15m a year for the upkeep of her palaces] we would like to know whether the Household [would] be able to benefit from these grants. I look forward to your comments."
