I totally agree... Diana was Humane..

A point on costs of the Monarchy.


Back in 18th century King George III (?) swapped entitlement a whole bunch of assets now known as the Crown Estates for guaranteed funding from Government, which became the Civil List. This carried on for a couple of centuries until 2011 when the Sovereign Grant was established - this pays a % (not sure how much but I understand less than 10%) of the income generated by the Crown Estates to fund the Monarchy.


So rather than being funded out of 'our' taxes as so many tiresome republicans claim the Monarchy is self funding and , in addition, generates a tidy surplus for government funds.


On the whole, given most countries require a ceremonial head of state, ours aren't too bad. They keep lots of people employed in writing gossip columns and speculation, attract tourists and are far cheaper than any presidential system could ever be.


If you get the chance go see King Charles III - excellent, and strangely believable, satire.

    • Had a great experience with Paul. He sorted out a lighting issue we had very efficiently and I would highly recommend him! https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/edgleycontracting382245

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
