How about fucking no.
And anybody who wants to repeat that bullshit about tourism with zero substantiation, consider starting a petition to change the deck of the yacht into a ice-rink where the royal family will attempt to do semi-naked pirouettes, partially clad as pirates before signing autographs with their blood. Imagine the people who would pay through the nose to have such an experience with living royals! Then maybe we could afford to send children to schools with food in their bellies and without mummy and daddy's cries ringing in their ears in one of the wealthiest nations in the world, right? Or would we still inexplicably need more nukes and tanks? Ahh, how convenient for you and your friends in the military-industrial complex... Oh wait, let's just start putting police officers in schools so we can further criminalise distress and reproduce the school to prison pipeline that they have in America. Yay, more money for private prisons. And who ends up there? What disparities are there in the statistics surrounding incarceration? Fuck this shit. Fuck it to hell and back. All the architects of cruelty and callousness can go lick the greasy floor of the seventh level as far as I'm concerned.
