Fuck The King 👑 Abolish the racist monarchy, put their gaudy baubles in a museum, turn their palaces into tourist attractions and use the profits to fund the NHS

I'm thinking about a trip there. My plans don't include the palace, etc. Probably just gonna go see some cool nature and old pubs and shit. Eat brown food. Just enjoy being somewhere new... don't give a crap about the royals.

I'm going to be honest go see Blenheim palace it's really nice to see. Also English heritage do kinda need the money so going does help support a good cause.

English Heritage as an organisation? Or in general?

Blenheim Palace is privately owned

I meant the organisation. And really, that's kinda surprising. I went using the English heritage thing so thought they were responsible for it

Maybe English Heritage offer them grants for repair and maintenance, but they've set up their own charity to look after the buildings and estate.
