I don’t know how anyone can take this guy from republic org seriously. He went around claiming that the cost of coronation was 250m (for comparison, more serious people at the time of the coronation estimated costs between 50-100m, which, in the end, was right call). I see the suggested article from him in the guardian “monarchy costs 1b” when only a few weeks before he claimed that “monarchy costs 500m”. I know why the guardian entertains him, but that’s not journalism.
Articles about the benefits of the coronation are out there plus uk got free pr exposure.
(they should have just worn the tiaras and coronets)
Yeah not really surprising a group called republicans would be angry at the coronation cost…
It was a very rare event so it’s right it was funded
I don’t know where these people think you get a free head of state from. For context, the EU referendum cost 129million just to run the ballot.
£72 million works out to just over £1 per person in the UK. That’s the cost to the taxpayer…£1 per person.
The cost of the RF to the taxpayers is about £8 per person per year or £0.02 per person per day.
This guy needs to calm down over a family that costs each taxpayer roughly the cost of two Starbucks lattes per year.
