People, complain about the hypocrisy of this and the wealth of the royal family all you want, I just want that the say that the royal family cost less than the money they bring in in tourism. Furthermore the massive profits generated by their land holds is all of which is given over to the British government in return for a much smaller income.
***** I watched the video, I understand what it was saying by many points in it could be just as easily attacked. For example, the visitors to windsor castle is over 1 million people, you have to go back 13/14 years to see figures matching that magnitude. Furthermore the money generated by tourist income is not wrong, and is still far in excess of any cost they may have.
I am not making a statement about their right to rule or if they gained the vast areas of land through correct means in the past, only that they do produce large amount of wealth in tourist costs.
Also as a side note, despite the fact they have tax breaks the Prince of Wales chooses to pay income taxes on the Duchy of Cornwall.
***** Oh man, you have no idea what the current 'government' could do to us if we had no monarch, the monarch is essential for our rights.
No surprising, idi amin, polpot, ghadaffi, sadam hussein
Honestly you can find literally thousands of such dodgy mansions in the US, and far worse.
Literally find mansions built by FORCED labour including children that are STILL owned by the slavers family.
Who is after anveshana channel?
Is this the presidential house or his personal estate? If its the former then I don't see the point of this "tour".
It used to be the presidential house, until Yanukovych "privatized" it. Most of the property is actually tied up in a Ukranian corporation, Yanuk just paid "rent" for the 2.5 acres that his house sat on, for a grand total of (this is utterly absurd), $39.57/month.
I'm not kidding: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezhyhirya_%28residence%29
pyrioncelendil Wow...that takes some serious balls. How did he get away with that?
yes, it's fully underwhelming. The idea was that he was an embezzler, used his position to amass wealth but this hardly demonstrates that
The sarcasm is great throughout! "If Yanukovych was here he'd be able to watch his own downfall on the TV." HA!
I have seen this before. Media really loves these kind of stories. Dont judge and you shall not be judged.
that's a presidential estate as in "estate" provide to the president or his private property?
1:40 I live in Romania , I am not a president either and my bathroom is 5 times biger and better looking then Yanukovych's one LMOA.
Lies
My Ukraine brothers and sisters of MOTHER DEMOCRACY, we are proud of you. Congratulations on your VICTORY! We support you. - From Asia
🤣🤣
Now I know why Putin invaded Ukraine. Russian Dobby wants this golden toilet seat for himself...
Never in my life would I stand in anyone's way to do anything if I had that house. Think how much rentmoney you can earn. Woof.
For many people this may not seem too luxurious, but Ukrainian economy isn't so developed. Private gym, courts and gardens are way off president's budget.
Dude are you serious?? YOu think it doesnt look too luxurious??
This mention costs 100 milions US dollars and has the size of Monaco
You don't understand. You think that wooden building is the only building in his estate???
🇺🇦❤
While the Ukrainian people are stuck in poverty while he lived in his ivory tower
There's something very disrespectful about the BBC being here.
How?
Nice comfortable sofas, big television, soft towels? This is a thing? The bathroom was pretty so so as well. What you expect a rich guy who's President of a country to live in a shotgun shack?
Too many blind people on Earth.
I'm a shamed while watching this clip.
To be honest, almost every prime minister in Europe has a house as luxurious as this one, yes there is corruption in Ukraine but this is not the way to demonstrate it....
tell me who are the leaders owning that kind of houses? Even the king of Saudi Arabia doesnt live in a mention for 100 million US dollars
Stan Stankov You are right, they don't. Cause they are smarter than that. They got billions of billions in offshores and other interests.
Yeah that's better.
I prefer an idiot living the good life and not trying to hide from anyone than hypocritic fuckers that have gathered insane amounts of wealth to retire after they sucked their people's life off of them.
Stan Stankov
Maybe not as luxurious as this one but close enough... I wasn't denying that he had gathered millions of dollars illegally, but this video is demagogue, and doesn't demonstrate anything.
maszlagma is a colonist RUSSIAN.
No I'm not, I did acknowledge the presence of corruption, I only said it wasn't the best way to demonstrate it. Btw, I'm Hungarian.
Yes, and Cameron and Blair live in bed sits I suppose
duhhh!!!!
wtf, let's make a visit to the royal family of England. How does Royal family live?
lol, royal family and a fucking gangster who built it using our money, do you see the difference?
6Incubus66 gangsters are those protesters and leaders that used force including cocktail molotov, rifles to storm the legitimate government.
@@alexandrjackson what about the police officers beating and shooting said protesters
Good job people, I wish overthrowing dicktators around the globe was this efficient.
Sell it and Ukraine won't need IMF
And Russia is another Soviet Union in 1989-1991. Best case scenario heading back to what was the worst of the 90s.
Naa anvasana channel
This... is... ridiculous.
I wonder how this reporter can stay calm saying that crap. I ki-i-i-i-inda doubt that this is the most georgios mansian he has ever seen.
To tell the truth this house is really... average.
I dont think there is anything wrong with that house!
What's wrong with the house is while he claimed to live in an ordinary house (also on this estate), he lived in this mansion, almost certainly built by taxpayer money.
i won't to see Bush or Romny palace.
Думаю, что нет. У нас, в Украине есть демократия, а у вас нет демократии. Вот такая разница.
Steve Mc Lauren ok! spasibo
First ^^
Trans-Blam
why this bbc guy so paranoic about this hose? there are much more bigger and expensive houses on much bigger lands around the world. Even in Ukraine currently president Poroshenko's house is begger and fancier. why this guy focused on so much? what is special about massage table or that small toilet?
man, I know 100s of people in Ukraine who live like that :) No big deal. Swan towels! P.L.E.A.S.E!
How small of the BBC,but at the same time typical.
Let's show us now Obama livs!
white house dumass
WE won't see the Bushes' Clintons, Blair, Holland, Cameron, Sazkosy and Mr. Obama houses Damn hypocrites. All the citizens of the UK and the US have the best life.
Bbc's so pro coup it's pathetic.
