Let’s just abolish the monarchy

QED.

Born with a silver spoon or was it gold ? My family had to earn theirs ..

many of people who were given lands by the kings and queens will have helped the king in some way
probaly fought in battle or supplied the troops

since then many estates change hands a lot bought by industrialists during the industrial era

Many of those who were gifted sent their own troops into battle - many of which were requisitioned from local villages.

I wouldn't like to lay my cars down to any extent one way or another concerning those - because I really don't know enough.

But I don't think it is acceptable the Religion, Royalty, Companies and forieng investment should hold large areas of land. If this is the nature of the future then fine .. farmers form an umbrella company, export profits, dodge taxes and import funds to buy property.

Or heaven forbid Prince Andrew! At least Merkel or Macron can be removed at the ballot box.

74 million people said no thanks to that elected President. Now he lives in a gaudy flat in Florida.
