Kwilliam?

So.. The most politically correct young couple in the country have finally announced their engagement. Good for them! There's all this talk, especially where i live in Scotland about how we shouldn't have a royal family. My view on the subject is that getting rid of the royals would be like banning tartan in Scotland. They cost what is, essentially, a pittance of the taxpayers' money and bring in an enormous amount of revenue in tourism. We spent 105 BILLION on welfare this year compared to the queen's estimated spending of £14million. Tourism contributes £76 billion to the economy with this coming, in the main, from London (home of her majesty herself). Let's weigh that up shall we? I say we wish Kate and Wills the best of luck for the future and enjoy a day off of work on their wedding day instead of prattling on about nonsense.
