Should the Queen?

Royalist jumps in straight away without checking facts

Facts are the nation benefits from the vast majority of the Crown Estates which make up most of her wealth and income.

Largest five personal landowners on Earth

Conservative estimate:

Queen Elizabeth II    6,600 million acres
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia    553 million acres
King Bhumibol of Thailand    126 million acres
King Mohammed IV of Morocco    113 million acres
Sultan Quaboos of Oman    76 million acres

Hilarious but you wont get any more bites.

i think she better wait until mark carney tells everyone what he is thinking,speaking of which i notice a lot of gambling sites when down tonight in a crash but good old betfair is still flying the flag at the head of the race,but i think mr Carney is going to say something in the next few weeks

Maybe not the Queen, but the richest, I think it's now about 80 people in the world, have as much as the poorest 1/2 of the planet - that's 3,500,000,000 people, put together.
They could wipe out the worst poverty and still keep a few hundred million each to still be fabulously wealthy.

Of course in practice it couldnt happen without collapsing stock markets, property markets etc as only a minute percentage of this wealth would be held in cash. Thats before you start thinking of the implications on further business investment and job levels etc.

Nice theory though.

All the countries in the world owe money and are in debt of billions,what would happen if every country just woke up tomorrow morning and decided to renege on their national debt,then all the countries in  would not have to pay interest on it either and everyone could start again with a clean slate ,and nobody would would owe anything to anybody.
i wonder what would happen,who would suffer,even the banks of the world owe money ,so i say pull the plug on all debt ,and we all can start again tomorrow.
