One report I read said they cost us 344 million pounds a year. An average of 18 million pounds per royal.

Still chuckin funds at a lost cause... UK foreign aid money 'diverted to extremists' in Syria The government has suspended a foreign aid project after a BBC Panorama investigation found taxpayers' cash was being diverted to extremists in Syria. Officers from a UK-backed police force in Syria have also been working with courts carrying out brutal sentences. A UK government spokesman said it takes allegations of co-operation with terrorist groups extremely seriously. Adam Smith International (ASI) has been running the project since October 2014. Britain was one of six donor countries paying for the project, which provides community policing to the rebel-held areas of Aleppo, Idlib and Daraa provinces. Panorama has obtained ASI documents that show dead and fictitious people were on the police payroll. One police station in Koknaya in Idlib province was supposed to be the base for 57 police officers. But the documents show that when ASI's staff visited in September 2016, they couldn't find a single officer. ASI said officers were accounted for on subsequent visits. The company has now suspended the payment of all salaries at the Koknaya police station. Panorama also discovered that the Free Syrian Police provided support for courts run by the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda - Jabhat al-Nusra - which handed out extreme punishments. Police officers were present when two women were stoned to death near Sarmin in December 2014. Sources have told Panorama the officers closed the road so that the execution could take place. |
