King Charles III's time is up

Anyone can make a mistake. To boast about one's ignorance is a bit odd.
I wasn’t boasting about anything. I just think the use of the word income instead of fortune, is of minor importance, cos the point stands, which is that King Chuck is as rich as Croesus.

Fortune implies a static big wodge of cash, passed on from generation to generation because it's not eroded.

Income is a regular flow of money to someone, and this case the income is orders of magnitude less that than the fortune (£ tens m Vs £1.8 bn).

Conflating the two isn't an issue of minor importance, it shows a lack of understanding of the key issues, namely, that some of the king's personal fortune is allegedly subsumed gifts of state, basically thefts from the nation, from all of us.

Yes, the income amount is huge compared to what I will see in my lifetime, but it's a fraction of the fortune.

You missed the point I was making then. Never mind
 
Some new polling here. I haven't checked this but i think 58% overall support is a lot lower than previous surveys? (And thats before we get into the figures for 18-24 year olds) :thumbs:

but sadly no stats about the proportion favouring hanging as opposed to the guillotine or shooting

Whose the guy between Chucky and Camilla in the photo? He looks like someone who has just wandered into the room. "Dude where's my pint and what are you all looking at?"
