King Charles Should Fund This.

[SIRandyraven]

Heard this on Talk TV this morning and I’m sure others will pick it up.
Well those that want an honour will not me mention it :-)

NHS will have to pay £12 million in overtime costs for just nurses that’s tip of ice berg …cleaners ,kitchen staff , doctors , consultants , surgeons ….
Also waiting lists will get worse losing another day of out patient apointments.
Why the funeral could not have been on a Sunday?
The Queen would have not wanted this, she was one for things carrying on as normal.
Charles is simply out of touch, like Labour was/is with the working classes.

This is unplanned holiday and by decree of our new King and NHS will have to fund via taking money from budget assigned to other services.
So I presume King Charles will be funding this from his billion in wealth or the inheritance tax free (royals don’t pay inheritance tax at 40% like us peasants) from the £450 million in personal wealth he will inherit from the Queen. This is personal wealth including such thing as personal investments, personally owned works of fine art, race horses, personally owned property and land ,personal gifts she had been given over the 7 decades from other royalty especially Arab kings on visits to the uk etc ….).
Obviously her wealth was in the billions but that included assets she only had access to while alive and now handed over to Charles, such as Buckingham palace….Crown Jewels….etc

Diana was buried on a Saturday.

Lordy....what a scatter-gun moan....

I thought you approved of people swerving any obligations to HMRC - isn't that one of the reasons you sulked off to Switzerland?

There's too much junketing been going on - about time some of these pooh-bah's learned to live in OUR world.

//erm - with the size & scope of the NHS how could that be otherwise?//

It couldn't. And normally it doesn't matter. But difficulties for patients arise when different people in the same area of work don't know what each other is doing. As an example, Mrs NJ was invited to our "local" hospital (five miles, two buses) for a Covid jab last year. When she arrived the room she was told to go to (which was normally the eye clinic) was locked up and nobody in the joint (including on the main reception desk) could tell her where she should go. That's the sort of thing I really mean.

"The Queen would have not wanted this, she was one for things carrying on as normal."

Would she not have made that apparent when being consulted about the planned arrangements?
