Royal prices have gone up in the UK

Quote:Cost of taxpayer-funded grant for UK monarchy to rise by £45m

The cost of the grant that funds the monarchy is due to increase by more than 53% in the next year to £132m – a rise of £45m.

Official royal accounts released earlier this year revealed that huge profits of over £1bn from the crown estate mean the taxpayer-funded sovereign grant, which pays for the royal family’s official duties, will increase from £86.3m in 2024-25 to £132m in 2025-26.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Because we know that the Royals are penny less (never mind about the billions in properties, art and other treasures)

Which works out to less than one quarter of one percent of all UK tax revenues. The Royals are a bargain.

Still less than Putin paid for the entire Republican party.

Turns out that a right-wing evangelical, anti-gay darling of the MAGA crowd, Corey DeAngelis, is a former gay porn star...

When he was told he wouldn't make it big in gay porn, I mean look at the guy, he got mad and became anti-gay.

Say what you will about the MAGAts, but when it comes to hypocrisy and projection, Democrats can't hold a candle to them.
