Almost 15,000 [now 144k - ed.] people have signed 
a petition calling for the royal family to pay 
for the £369 million repairs to Buckingham Palace.
Yesterday it was announced that the royal 
residence is to undergo a major 10-year refurbishment.
The hefty bill will come from a 66% increase in 
the Sovereign Grant  the funding for the 
monarchys official duties  for the 10-year 
period, with the total works estimated to cost £369 million.
But thousands of people think the royals should 
foot the bill for Her Majs luxury pad.

suggesting The Crown and its estates should pay 
for the renovations has received just shy of 
15,000 backers at time of publishing.
Mark Johnson, who set up the petition, said: 
There is a national housing crisis, the NHS is 
in crisis, austerity is forcing cuts in many front line services.
Now the Royals expect us to dig deeper to 
refurbish Buckingham Palace. The Crowns wealth 
is inestimable. This is, in a word, outrageous.
It is estimated that the benefits of the upgrade, 
including longer summer opening hours, more 
private tours and savings due to the 
improvements, could be around £3.4 million each 
year.The refit, described by officials as 
essential, will include replacing boilers, and 
miles of cables, pipes and electrical wires when 
it begins in April next year, subject to Parliamentary approval.
It is also forecast that the work, taken wing by 
wing, beginning with the front of the London 
landmark after essential works are completed in 
the first two years, will reduce the palaces 
carbon footprint by 40% in the future.
The Queen spends around a third of the year 
hosting garden parties, receptions, investitures 
and other events at her official home.
The work needed reflects the age of the building, 
which was first used as a royal palace by Queen 
Victoria and has not been decorated since 1952, 
the year the Queen ascended the throne.
The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince 
of Wales are completely supportive of the refit, officials said.
When the work is finished in 2027, the grant is 
expected to return to its current level of 15%.

Buckingham Palace is about to be given a £369m 
refurbishment. Tax payers are paying for it. The 
Crown and its estates should be made to fund its own renovations.

Why is this important?

There is a national housing crisis, the NHS is in 
crisis, austerity is forcing cuts in many front 
line services. Now the Royals expect us to dig 
deeper to refurbish Buckingham Palace. The 
Crowns wealth is inestimable. This is, in a word, outrageous.

Cahill: Queen Elizabeth II is the largest landowner on Earth.

http://www.whoownstheworld.com/about-the-book/largest-landowner
Queen Elizabeth II, head of state of the United 
Kingdom and of 31 other states and territories, 
is the legal owner of about 6,600 million acres 
of land, one sixth of the earths non ocean surface.
She is the only person on Earth who owns whole 
countries, and who owns countries that are not 
her own domestic territory. This land ownership 
is separate from her role as head of state and is 
different from other monarchies where no such 
claim is made  Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc.
The value of her land holding. £17,600,000,000,000 (approx).
This makes her the richest individual on earth. 
However, there is no way easily to value her real 
estate. There is no current market in the land of 
entire countries. At a rough estimate of $5,000 
an acre, and based on the sale of Alaska to the 
USA by the Tsar, and of Louisiana to the USA by 
France, the Queens land holding is worth a 
notional $33,000,000,000,000 (Thirty three 
trillion dollars or about £17,600,000,000,000). 
Her holding is based on the laws of the countries 
she owns and her land title is valid in all the 
countries she owns. Her main holdings are Canada, 
the 2nd largest country on earth, with 2,467 
million acres, Australia, the 7th largest country 
on earth with 1,900 million acres, the Papua New 
Guinea with114 million acres, New Zealand with 66 
million acres and the UK with 60 million acres.
She is the worlds largest landowner by a 
significant margin. The next largest landowner is 
the Russian state, with an overall ownership of 
4,219 million acres, and a direct ownership 
comparable with the Queens land holding of 2,447 
million acres. The 3rd largest landowner is the 
Chinese state, which claims all of Chinese land, 
about 2,365 million acres. The 4th largest 
landowner on earth is the Federal Government of 
the United States, which owns about one third of 
the land of the USA, 760 million acres. The fifth 
largest landowner on earth is the King of Saudi Arabia with 553 million acres

Largest five personal landowners on Earth
Queen Elizabeth II6,600 million acres
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia553 million acres
King Bhumibol of Thailand126 million acres
King Mohammed IV of Morocco113 million acres
Sultan Quaboos of Oman76 million acres

So much emphasis is placed on select Jewish 
participation in Bormann companies that when 
Adolf Eichmann was seized and taken to Tel Aviv 
to stand trial, it produced a shock wave in the 
Jewish and German communities of Buenos Aires. 
Jewish leaders informed the Israeli authorities 
in no uncertain terms that this must never happen 
again because a repetition would permanently 
rupture relations with the Germans of Latin 
America, as well as with the Bormann 
organization, and cut off the flow of Jewish 
money to Israel. It never happened again, and the 
pursuit of Bormann quieted down at the request of 
these Jewish leaders. He is residing in an 
Argentinian safe haven, protected by the most 
efficient German infrastructure in history as 
well as by all those whose prosperity depends on his well-being.
