King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says
The King "remains wholly positive about his treatment", says Buckingham Palace.
You're viewing part of a thread.
A new tiny violin joins the choir.
And it is not the dig you wish it is. As it portrays even more that anyone in the UK, even those without an actual job, can get medical treatment without fearing massive medical debt.
That's not addressing my point of... Why is the king receiving preferential treatment? His role is ceremonial. You could make the argument he's paying for private treatment (I don't know if he is or not), if he's not why does he get to skip the NHS cancer treatment wait list? If he is paying for private..... What exactly has he personally done to allow him to have the ABILITY to pay for said treatment:| Not saying all the royals wealth should be seized for the peoplez, more why is his families life style still to my understanding being subsidized by British tax payers? The tourism they bring in would still be coming, it's not like they're going to sell Buckingham palace if the gov stopped paying for their shit.
Sure, I also wish monarchies are cut of the tax payers spigot.
But why are you making this such a big point of having a rich old white dick getting preferential treatment? I thought you loved that shit in the USA. I thought the AMERICAN dream is to become a rich old white dick to get that sweet preferential (tax) treatment. To get your rich old white children get the same benefits through generational wealth.
Be mad that in the EU people can pay for both a rich old white dude play a monarch and socialized healthcare. While ever time you try and do something similar all the old white dicks crawl out of the woodwork to tell "HoW cAn We EvEr PaY fOr ThAt?!"
The UK... Isn't... In the EU tho? For some (Russian) oligarch tax haven purposes to my understanding?
I didn't claim it was. There are other countries with old white rich dicking monarchs and also have socialized healthcare, you buffoon.
But we're talking about the UK monarchy specifically right? I wonder what the scandanavian monarchs for example are up to. & don't get me wrong, the American political elite, at least a lot of them cough Republicans cough absolutely have the mentality of neonobility.
That kind of psychology and predisposition is something I hope is stamped out or at least vindicated by most of society. Be the change you want to see in the world:)
