Philips prattism promotes palace closure.  

Well it could work but I'm totally against them having any luxury at all so we can go with your fenced off area but with special little window set in, like in prisons, where they have to sit and be forced to talk to tourists on unbreakable phones.

you are a little harsher than me. i don't approve of training zoo animals to do tricks - it's undignified and really only done to give visitors a cheap laugh.

I only said they had to hold a phone and speak into it, I didn't say they had to make any actual sense.

ok that's not too bad. although i think it might be a little unpleasant for whatever tourists have been conned into having a chat with them. can they just stay behind sound-proofed glass and wave?

I think it could be arranged for the tourists to pay extra to have the mute button engaged.

Jb, have you any excess brocoli to feed them on?

Hi Tony, we most certainly have no intention of having him back overhere, or at least not until he's stuffed in a glass case. Now your argument falls flat as the tourists who flock to Stratford-upon-Avon do so because of the Bard, as you well know, and not because of the council house scroungers down in the palace, so removal of the latter would not detract tourists from visiting the theatre.

sorry, I thought that we were banning all tourists! No doubt the RSC would not be allowed to perform Henry V etc any more, just Hamlet, Love's Labours Lost etc.

As for sending him home, that is the UK policy with undesirable aliens. As an alternative I would offer, putting him up with his entire family in a council flat in one of the high-rise blocks in Salford at the end of the of the East Lancs Road (assuming they are still there - I doubt whether Maggie succeeded in selling any of them off, given their condition), and making them live off the basic state pension.

I'm afraid that little Philip didn't actually specify as to all of the UK or just London, he'd probably already lost the plot before the end of his sentence. No barring of Shakespeare's works, I'll allow the royal chain to go onto what should have been it's natural end once and for all with old Ollie and the beheading of Charles.
I totally approve of your high rise plans for them and we can give Mr Windsor as job as lift operative so he can spend all day only boring the number of people who can fit in the lift (that's elevators in case any Americans read this.)

Hi Zeph, the irony is that he would have gone long ago without the arguement that the whole royal clan attracted tourists to the UK, but now as he diapproves of them time to put him out to pasture in less luxorious quarters.

Hi Scarlet woman. You can see what we have to pay for which attempts to pass for brains here. About the best arguement that they've got going for them is that the tourists like them, so lets get rid of all the tourists. Duh

Hi sunny, personally I'd rather they were put on public dispaly for a public execution but I like your ironic twist here. I gather you'd be glad too to see the back of this last bastion of colonianism.

.....and sponsorship money will ease the burden of taxpayers...

Definitley would. And if they were stuck inside the tv box as you suggest there would be an enormous saving on security as they already have their own.
