We petition the Queen to donate a palace to help address the housing crisis
We call upon the Queen to make a significant gesture to commemorate her Silver Jubilee. Our suggestion is to lease or sell Buckingham Palace or another of her nine mansions and Palaces. Leasing it to a hotel chain will help maintain it, employ more people and generate income to be reinvested in housing for her hard working citizens. Selling it will generate a capital receipt sufficient to fund many social homes. The government is keen to tackle underoccupied, empty and underused homes with its bedroom tax. A modern monarchy should not be above playing a part and there can be no more appropriate year than the Jubilee Year. We call upon the government to persuade the monarchy to make this really significant sacrifice.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
