Queen tried to use state poverty fund to heat Buckingham Palace

Ministers were asked if money earmarked for schools, hospitals and low-income families could be used to meet soaring fuel bills.

The Queen asked ministers for a poverty handout to help heat her palaces but was rebuffed because they feared it would be a public relations disaster, documents disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act reveal.

Royal aides were told that the £60m worth of energy-saving grants were aimed at families on low incomes and if the money was given to Buckingham Palace instead of housing associations or hospitals it could lead to "adverse publicity" for the Queen and the Government.

Aides complained to ministers in 2004 that the Queen's gas and electricity bills, which had increased by 50 per cent that year, stood at more than £1m a year and had become "untenable".

Sauce.

Know your place peasants! Your health and education needs pale in comparison to heating the Queen's most elegant palace. Take heed mother-bitches!

Move the poor into the palaces.

Housing for the poor, body-heat for the Queen.

Two birds, one stone.

I was at one of those anti-monarchy speeches organised by the SWP last night and this was mentioned, I wasn't sure if it was definitely true. Some cheek of her.

I read an article some time back (the English Royal Variety was due on at the time) about a lady that is hired to sit and keep a toilet seat warm just in case Madge decides to take a trip to the loo.

Now THATS a job to aim for!

We will have none of that. This thread is here to scold peasants for not handing up their education and healthcare funds to heating their most honourable Queen. If you want to attack the Queen, there are other threads here for that.
