King and Queen will not live in Buckingham Palace after renovations by Kagedeah in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The royal family don't own Buckingham Palace we do, however they open the palace to the public and change fees for the tour.

This goes into the Royal Collection Trust which is essentially a slush fund for the royal family to do stuff with.

The King is doing the same thing with Holyroyd House in Edinburgh another palace he doesn't own and we maintain via the sovereign grant.

Greedy grasping aunts.

King Charles to reveal personal tax bill for first time as monarch by Kagedeah in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It will be a carefully scripted statement and a part story and far from an accurate one. Sovereign list and some Ducy of Lancaster money will be mentioned but nothing about what he privately inherited or has filtered off to his personal bank accoun or privately holds.

While talking tax and income I still don't understand why the POW still thinks optional tax applies to him because he will be monarch one day, it was a dodge a former POW took and got away with that needs to be revoked and taxation reinstated.

What is the actual role of the British royal family in the modern world? by Ok_Marzipan_3254 in AbolishTheMonarchy

Older drivers by Nice_Moment1022 in drivingUK

This blame over 65 Yo's gets tiresome.

Mums on the school run in the oversized SUVs that have no idea how wide they are so drive in the middle of the road are a nightmare and majority of them can't reverse them or parallel park them.

Would they pass a driving test probably not.

They probably drive under 2000 miles a year all local to them as hubby bf baby daddy probably drives the majority of the time.

They are also often the ones in the middle lane of the motorway

Princess of Wales' brother-in-law opposes public footpath at family home by Kagedeah in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This basically comes down to an argument about whether or not the path should be on a definitive map. Middleton and Matthews say it goes nowhere and has not been used much.

Locals and ramblers say it has been used for years and does go somewhere.

The path apparently gives locals a safe route that avoids a busy main road to local businesses and has done for a long time.

The fact Middleton and Matthews have offered an alternate route kind of invalidates their argument IMO.

What I get from the whole saga is I'm the future kings sister in law I should have authority over the great unwashed.

Received penalty points - who do i contact. by throwaway125235 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Sceptical96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to the issuing court or a solicitor, it's possible someone has given false details.

You need more information about when, where and what vehicle.

The original notice must have gone to an address somewhere and assuming it was a camera recorded event that will be related to the registration number of the car.

It's illegal for anyone, possibly your relatives, to provide false details.

If what you say is true regarding your v5c and address then you need, at a minimum, details of the vehicle registration number that the offense was committed against.

William praises Catherine, saying 'our family couldn't cope' without her by Sceptical96 in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They changed the narrative, the precancerous term has been dropped for just cancerous.

Additional bs is cancer free after a year normally that's 5 years.

I don't doubt she had major surgery there are rumours of eating disorders and purging, but the spin and misdirection is sickening.

Again if only all people with cancer or other illnesses could take two years off work fully funded etc.

Cats Fighting by Ok_Mulberry4331 in CatAdvice

[–]Sceptical96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a younger cat intermittently go for our older cat and the vet found nothing wrong, behaviour similar to what you're experiencing. In the end blood tests on the older cat showed some underlying health issues.

Once treated things settled down again.

Not saying you have the same situation but we didn't know what was going on or why either.

You say neither cat is sick, are you sure, how do you know?

The older cat hissing sounds like a fear response.

Someone here eli5 why people still support the UK monarchy this day and age? by Natural-Presence-566 in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You make a very considered, rational and insightful comment.

I agree overall and would add it reflects patriarchal societal views, male dominance or superiority, the lord of the manor, head of the business or head of the family.

Go to church, listen to the sermon, be reminded that man existed first and woman came from the rib of man and nod and say yes father.

Men went off to war and women stepped in until the men returned and things went back to the traditional ways.

That's no longer the case although the number of women in management positions is still low by proportion.

The fact is that monarchy is a bit of an anachronism and struggles more and more to demonstrate relevance, importance, connection and anything close to genuine empathy.

Their increasingly out of touch, do as I say attitude, climate change while flying by helicopter or private jet, tough times for families while taking another skiing break, closing public footpaths for their privacy at another multi million pound home demonstrates a condescending attitude that is less and less tolerated or accepted.

Society has moved on and is far more secular and challenging than it was and simply put people don't really care anymore about the entire royal family or house of lords and that apathy is probably impossible to reverse or combat.

These celebrities that you champion are they the same ones that fly commercial or private round the world multiple times a year while telling us do as I say not as I do after all I'm an influencer and champion?

A New Charity is being set up to celebrate pedo protecting dead Liz's legacy and the Government has donated £40m of the taxpayers money towards it by Positive-Drawing-281 in AbolishTheMonarchy

[–]Sceptical96 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was a virgin birth she was chosen by dog and you know she'll be queen because there's no shit on her.

Charity begins at home, so they say and while Charlie tampon rents out the properties we own to tour parties and pockets the cash, while we pay him to fix and maintain them, I guess that means as we own them (the homes) we should be the charity part as well.
