//SNP members have overwhelmingly voted to stop the Royal Family’s public funding after hearing how the Queen is “purring all the way to the bank.”//
//Sovereign Grant system was “the equivalent of the Royal Family winning the lottery every single year.”//
// the £76 million the Royal Household received last year was “a good rate of pay for charity work” and the money could instead be spent on mobility scooters.

Got nowt to do with the SNP as far as I'm concerned.They need to concentrate on "Queen Nicola Krankie".

//SNP members vote to stop funding the Queen and spend the money on the ‘wider public good’ in Scotland instead//

That explains that then. When are they insisting that The Royal Yacht Britannia is moved to Portsmouth?

non story, they don't have the power.

''The vote has no impact on Scotland’s funding for the Queen as the issue is reserved to Westminster.''

[anneasquith]

[anneasquith]

[MallyJ]

All the sensible politicians seem to be in Scotland, no wonder they are doing so well.

The Royal Yacht Britannia can move to Portsmouth tomorrow for all I care - just another drain on the public purse IMO. Let Portsmouth pay for its upkeep.

[naomi24]

Does Scotand pay for its upkeep?

But Maggie! If there's nae big boat how are we gaunae get the fur coat and nae knickers crew doon tae Leith to buy overpriced whisky and surfin gear?
They'll no' abandon Multrees Walk for Ocean Drive tae spend their bawbees if there's nae yacht! :-)

What's this deal with bringing facts to an emotional argument?
