So how much does it cost the taxpayer to keep them there? Because as far as I know, the answer is 'very little' and certainly not enough to blame problems in other departments on their existence.
As much of an anti-Royalist as I am, this argument against them just doesn't hold water for me, especially since they voluntarily started paying income tax.
