I don't want this to turn into an anti-monarchy/Republican debate, but should Buckingham Palace be open through the year to pay for it's upkeep?
On TV this morning some suggested that with the amount of rooms it has, maybe the MPs should give up their London accommodation and move into the palace.
Another asked if the Queen pays any 'bedroom tax'?
Maybe all the Royals should live together under one roof?

It was said on the news yesterday that the heating system in Buck House was 65 years old and urgently needs replacing. Why can't Betty sell of a few Rembrandts to pay the plumbers with ? Or even one Rembrandt...she would hardly miss it would she ?

Why can't she charge for seeing the Rembrandts jno. And why can't we sell one or two to pay the plumbers ? We have 100,000's of paintings in Britain. If I lived in a house stuffed to the ceilings with valuable antiques, etc, I wouldn't expect the local Council to come in a pay for my new central heating. Why can't Betty live within her means...aren't we "all in this together" ?
