Give The Queen A Council House, Say Greens

[Chippiewill]

The Queen has been offered a council house by the Green Party, whose plans to abolish the monarchy would see her moved out of Buckingham Palace.

The party leader Natalie Bennett said she was sure there would be a state-funded property available for the Queen because the Greens planned to build more.

She said: "I can't see that the Queen is ever going to be really poor, but I'm sure we can find a council house for her - we're going to build lots more."

Greens should be mown, weeded or eaten; but certainly not heard.

Amen to that.

Can she claim the dole because being Queen isn't really employment is it

I hate the royal family so that sounds good to me lmao

Or she could just move to one of the many private residences.... Sandringham, Balmoral or Highgrove House.

Or the Crown Estate profits could be returned to the Royal Family which would mean no more state funding and indeed HM Treasury would then lose out.

Most people who want to abolish the monarchy take the view that the majority of their private property would be seized.

Well exactly, those are the kind of people who aren't keen on monarchy: communists/greens with no respect for basic laws like property rights.

In their defence, when it comes to the Monarchy I think an exception considering circumstances isn't exactly unreasonable.

That's the justification all regimes or radicals use when it comes to property rights. Property rights are property rights, you either believe in them or you don't.

Can't say "I believe in property rights but I quite fancy the castle across the road that my neighbour owns so the state should seize that."
