If one cannot speak ones mind without the aid of "shrooms" then it's best that nothing is said at all.

If the "moonshine" don't get me I'll live till I die.

The Monarchy own a lot of land which should be repossessed by the state (as it was English owned before the royals stole it) and sold so we can have some help with our fiscal problems.

You seem to have overlooked the fact that you only "own" the freehold in land in this country until such time as your descendents fail to will it to someone and die intestate, or until one of "the royals" as you put it invoke one of the many statutes that can put you off it freeholder or not. Because THEY OWN IT BY RIGHT OF CONQUEST. Now, if we want a return to that way of doing things I'm all for it and it's not treason IF YOU WIN but until that happens get real.

PS a lot of that land they get back through intestacy laws gets handed to the government. Right now the government would like you to think GCHQ Cheltenham is where a lot of interesting work gets done. Truth is it ACTUALLY gets done in a little village not THAT far away from where it USED to be done, after the local squire was caught with his trousers round his ankles and his equipment up somewhere the locals disapproved of. He took his twelve bore and let his mouth have both barrels and the government inherited a very nice country house intelligence listening post base.

Well, thats sounds quite good...would the royals be ok with it if we sold the land to repay some of our current debts though?

The land the Royals own cover a miniscule fraction of what we currently owe, and we would have built up that amount of debt again in days.
