Make the Queen pay for her own DIY
Government has said that Buckingham Palace needs a £370m refurbishment. Thus, the Queen will get a 66% pay rise increasing her pay to £71M per year.
If you think giving pay rises to the wealthy when lots of people are struggling under the government's austerity program, please sign.
According to the Conservative Govt, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary (see below) "We're all in it together." If we really are, then asking a fabulously wealthy woman to pay for her home repairs isn't that unreasonable, is it?
