  1. so energy prices gonna stay nice and high with this ground rent charge. The Tax man taking from the poor at every opportunity but no windfall taxes on excess profits or taxing monies going offshore.

  2. A few things people forget.
    The Queen doesn’t own it, the Crown Estate does.
    The crown estate is one of the UKs biggest employers and pays a good salary for all staff including cleaners and receptionists
    The Crown Estate is a registered business and the Queen and Royal family have no part in its running
    The Crown Estate is the UKs single largest taxpayer, paying more tax than larger business such as Amazon and British Gas

  3. Somebody’s going to do well off the energy crisis – the Queen!

    Should be more outrage about this! Well done the Guardian for even daring to report it!
