King Charles pay rise. Where from? 14:19 - Jul 24 with 404 viewsReslovenSwan1

The King is due to receive a $60m pay rise this year. This rise is mostly for increased profits at the Crown Estates and most of the profits are from off shore wind farms.

A large percentage of offshore wind farms are in offshore Wales. We citizens have to put up with the turbines and pylons and the King pockets the profits.

The Senedd asked for parity with Scotland on this I but it was declined. Many Welsh people do not want to control their assets and the money goes to the south east.

I read that the King took 25% of offshore wind fees. I read somewhere ha had agreed a reduction to half that Offshore wind fes for England and Wales could be £400m with Wales perhaps 25% of that.

It shows how dumb civil servants are. They offered him 25% of fees for offshore wind farms s just as they were expanding massively. Unfit for their position s and pensions.

The Senedd gets it both barrels while these elite London civil servants are left alone.

Oh yeah, nobody ever complains about Westminster! What a preposterous thing to say.

Besides, Wales provides about 16% of UK offshore electricity, around 7.9TwH compared to the Uk as a whole of 49twH which is about 17% of the total electricity used in the UK.

I specifically reference Senior Civil servants not Westminster as a whole. Remember they are unelected.

This is not worth a thread in itself but it does highlight the fact that in relation to the monarchy we are living in the distant past.

A couple of weeks ago on the news they were reporting on the annual population count of the King's swans.

I have to emphasise here, THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

There's a bloke called the King's Swans counter (or something stupidly similar). Every year one of his jobs is to conduct a count of the swans along a particular stretch of the Thames. Because, apparently, they belong to the King.

This is not the 14th/15th/16th century. It's the 21st century. Why are we, the British people, so stupid that we put up with this absolute garbage.

I disagree. This issue is worth a thread. Profits of our natural resources are not being shared with Welsh people.

19th century. Coal copper iron
20 th Century. Water
21st Century Wind

The king owns fees from Wind off Porthcawl. The Senedd dare not block new ones.

We should have sorted this when we had the chance in 1936
Whole family deeply warped
