The Paradise Papers show that about £10m ($13m) of the Queen's private money was invested offshore.
It was put into funds in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda by the Duchy of Lancaster, which provides the Queen with an income and handles investments for her £500m private estate.
There is nothing illegal in the investments and no suggestion that the Queen is avoiding tax, but questions may be asked about whether the monarch should be investing offshore.
There were small investments in the rent-to-buy retailer BrightHouse, which has been accused of exploiting the poor, and the Threshers chain of off-licences, which later went bust owing £17.5m in tax and costing almost 6,000 people their jobs.
I very much doubt that the queen chose any of those options. So what we're left with is one of her cronys not investing a quarter percent of her investments correctly. It's the BBC diverting, again.

Ayden Howard
Papists, I.T.T.

>autonomous Meaning we don't get any taxes from it meaning she is acting against her subjects interests like the cunt she is
Nathan Thomas
Does the Queen pay taxes? She is the sovereign so she got tons of other exceptions, too.
Oliver Reed
>be the queen >have to pay taxes
Isaiah Ramirez
The british royal family is behind every major event that ever happened take the brit pill
Isaiah Rodriguez
> the queen > avoiding tax
this is hilarious because it's called "her majesty's revenue service". I'm not sure if it's even possible for her to break the law. The reason the rich do this is because taxes are too high.
Samuel Rivera
>exploiting the poor
Fuck the poor. Your laziness and stupidity are not my problem.
Asher Butler
Wouldn't care if she weren't a socialist libshit.
Christopher Baker
But the Royal family by law doesn't pay taxes. Your taxes go to them. What are you getting worked up about?
Cooper Reed
Don't blame the queen for your stupid ass problems.
Luke Phillips
>take the brit pill Hope for your sake it's halal
Daniel Adams
If the royals don't pay tax then why are they using offshore accounts?
To hide shenanigans?
Aaron Hill
She doesn't legally, but she does so anyway.
This is the BBC whipping up an antimonarchist story. They had to do it on Guy Fawkes Night, too. Leftists are going to have a field day when they read the papers tomorrow morning.
Gavin Wilson
It's not whether she has to pay taxes, it's more that her interests don't seem to be aligned with the interests of the British people who she is supposedly a defender of. You shit-sucking monarchist cunts miss the actual train this is wrong because you have eaten too much royal shit and can't clearly see objective reality anymore. This
Cooper Jones

Camden Hughes
this is what you fucking royal poop eating fucks get. you yellow teeth, boiled meat eating niggers knew that any human arbitrarily elevated to a royal staus is going to leach off the people. your only option left is to ELIMINATE these fucks through political or violent means or both.
Elijah Diaz
Jesus, you're fucking bitter.
Christopher Barnes
Isn't this what Jimmy Carr was busted for?
Carson Murphy
Bitter over a tyrant? How's Merkel these days?
Jason Barnes
fuck off paddy
she shouldn't be paying any taxes
Carter Jenkins
treasonous cunt blair changed it so she has to pay some taxes
Kevin Moore
>Queen >tyrant Burger education
>how's Merkel A lot weaker now, actually.
Anthony Ross
The Queen doesn't even pay tax, she skims off the fucking top.
Logan King
It's time to become a republic It's literally 2017
John Foster
She can't break the law because she technically is the law. The judiciary is her judiciary.
Charles Phillips
Other than her subjects in those islands where she'd presumably be paying service fees to the local banks.
Gabriel Wright
>£10m
Wow it's fucking nothing
Joshua Morgan
It's not literally nothing, but it's pretty damn close
Nolan Parker
if tax didn't exist she wouldn't have any money lmao
Justin Torres
Prince Charles pls go
Nolan Myers
He is of course right
Nicholas Cox
Cayman Islands and Bermuda are part of the UK. Wouldn't exactly call those "offshore", lad
Jaxon Perez
No, she isn't the law. The Magna Carta exists.
William Ortiz
a monarchy does not hang it's monarch, it hangs people who try to remove the monarch.
Neck yourself.
Gavin Stewart
Truth
Joshua Johnson
She has a team of financial investors and advisors. The Duchy of Lancaster invested in these institutions. What income the Queen gets off of them, she pays tax on. If you're looking for someone to crucify, look at her investors.
Luis Clark
She is bound by law but she is also the arbiter of law. All the courts are in her name. Justice and security is the whole point of a monarch.
Ian Martin
Indeed they are, yet she is subject to the law all the same. Look at Charles I.
Consider this: yank presidents are still subjected to their law, even though they are the head of government and state. The same principle applies.
Jacob Martinez
You might want to let the French know.. Tbfh that's probably where I will move to at some point and leave you cunts with a Jew-serving "Royal" Family, Pakis, niggers, poles and chavscum, oh and brexit tax.
Andrew Ramirez

Case closed. Trust the (((BBC))) to twist it into an anti-monarchist hit piece
kiss yourself leftypol
Caleb Diaz
Just as I said. Falling on Guy Fawkes Night, too. Way to openly hate the country and the monarchy.
Nolan Sullivan
@148130759 Closed? No, this is the monarch doing something shady and cunty and needs to be made public to embarrass this reptilian hag.
Nolan Sanders
>@ Fucking newfag.
These investments aren't illegal. They're done by other people and she pays tax on their returns, which she doesn't have to do
Jeremiah Gonzalez
>10,000,000GBP
That's it?
Hudson Stewart
If she ISN'T a reptile than I don't know what is real anymore.
Andrew Sullivan
Only creature that should be hanged is journalists tbqh
Jace Murphy
>the queen pays taxes
...she collects taxes, you fucking dipshit. if you didnt have a problem with that beforehand, well i dont know what to tell you.
Zachary Lee
I mean just the fact that the royalty have to leech off the people should at least, be enough to ensure the continued existence of the people
But no, the royalty are not only leeching off the people, they're genociding them demographically too
The fuck kind of monarch does that
Benjamin Roberts
How about we hang you pajeet?
Cameron Carter
I knew the monarchy were snakes when i saw how much normies love them in the same manor as celebrities. Completely convinced of a false image
Brayden Moore
No surprise The Guardian breaks a story which demonizes Are Liz. BBC only too happy to report on it.
Anthony Gonzalez
>inb4 the queen contributes so much to tourism
Imagine being such a faggot you support a monarchy that is a literal sponge on taxpayer money because you honestly believe tourists won't come to the UK, just like Rome or Paris right?
Robert Price
m8 your demographic and cultural problems are a big red flag these days in terms of tourism nobody wants to go see conquered islamic versions of european cities we grew up with
Eli Kelly
that's an inevitability
nobility have been the celebrities of history, it's actually the existence of celebrities - pretenders to nobility - which is the odd man out.
Please remember that nobility get their position through hard work, like mass murder, bribery, corruption, and so forth. Celebrities are just cute faces used by modern neo-nobility to make money.
Jeremiah Wilson
it ironically is breh, you beady eyed fucks lobbied the iraq war harder than anyone.
Isaiah Perez
she owns the entire country of england and she has to hid her money and only has an estate worth 500m?
Levi Hernandez
Kind of speaks volumes how bad our taxes are if even the queen is going out of her way to actively avoid them
Lucas Ward
Thought I'd put this out there

Henry Morgan

NOOOOOO...thank you.
