For you English Ubers,
Rather then betray my ignorance of politics beyond US borders, I'm curious as to how the British people think about having a Royal Family. Do they still get money from the government? How much power does the Queen still have? Do you resent them and their station even though they did nothing to deserve it?

I honestly think Americans care more about the royal family than anyone. It seems like every week there's something in the news or in magazines about how Harry is a Nazi or OMG Will's so hot!!! Look who he's dating! or the big eared freak married his fat, ugly cow or the queen's one year older! When I was in high school, I remember there were girls obsessed with William and they had posters and shit with his goofy face on them. One girl even picked up a fake English accent.

Dervel scares me and I owe him money. Hence why I cannot banter with him or be rude to him.
To actually answer peoples questions about the queen, and indeed the royal family, nobody really cares anymore. It's all a little bit like God and going to church, it only seems to really appeal to old people. The queen and friends have no impact on British government whatsoever but are not entirely without power as the royal family own a significant amount of land in Britian however they are just as bound by the law as any other landowner in the country.
Nobody really cares about them one way or the other, apart from a bunch of malcontents who want attention by shouting 'off with their heads' and a bunch of weirdos who live in homes packed full of creepy memorabilia.

Dear Alan Shearer,
Thank you for sending an iodine deficient Norfolker to Ubersite.
I can barely find words to adequately express my gratitude to you for the opportunity you have given me to converse with the people with the massively inflated adams apples via typing as actual speech is impossible due to their malformed throats. Inbetween sessions of tractor buggery some of the less freakish must have learnt to type! Praise be to Big Al. They do not call them cornflakes in the south, preferring to use actual corns from their feet (which are used for mashing apples to make cider), but I'm sure if they understood breakfast which did not consist of human flesh they would be crying into it.
Geordie acknowledgements.

Bellamy (the loathesome gobshite) made us money. Champs league goals PLUS he got Danny Mills sent off and received a boot for good measure. It was glorious.
Graeme Souness was a Scouse Plot to ruin our great club. But he's gone now. And so is Chavvy Mc Chav Chav.
If I were a blackburn fan I couldn't stand myself. Robbie Savage AND Craig Bellamy? christ, It's worse than watching Ronaldo (i have bird shit in my hair) cross to Horse Face to score from 1 yard away.

Most people think they are out of touch and resent the money we give them, but accept that they bring a lot of money to the country through tourism.
=-=-=--=-=-==--=-=-=-==-
The thing is that unless the Royals use all their reserves and actually spend, it doesn't matter how much money they have because money is nothing more than ink on paper if it isn't being used.
If the mint made a billion pounds and burnt it it wouldn't make a lick of difference because uncirculating money isn't worth a cent.
If I was an Englishman, I would support the monarchy... Why?
1)They are a symbol of the nation.
2)A monarchy makes a government very, very stable. If things turn to shit and the government is dissolved the people still have a bloodline to look to for leadership.
3)Despite the millions of foreigners living in England and all the PC that makes the traditional English lifestyle taboo, it's comforting to know that tradition still rules Britain.
