I don't like the Royal Family and I firmly believe that Prince Charles is a jug-eared fuckwit of the highest order. But I cannot get excited or angry about the fact that he is costing the taxpayer more money. It's not because I think he deserves the money (the opposite is true), but rather because the money stolen by the government is spunked away on pointless projects like the Prince on an ongoing basis. It is too tiring to be angry about all the wastage of our money that goes on. If you tried, you'd spend all of your time enraged until you dropped dead of a massive stroke.

So Prince Charles is costing us more money, like a welfare recepient on the take but magnified onto a massive scale. Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose.
