"Will someone please think of the children!"
The NHS is emotive (I think it is great, BTW), but it is also used to shut down alternative views, like accusations of racism are.

Your turn now. Which way?
That's not a fallacy, it's a cynical trick. But they seem to work.

dismissing the tax issue is, I agree
Yep, but not a fallacy.
Me being happy to fund a ceremonial monarchy doth not equate to me toadying to any other person, be it Lord, Lady, or premier league footballer
Apart from the fact that the NHS is currently being broken by design (and not just via defunding), the NHS itself is a near bottomless pit into which it will gleefully encourage money to be poured.
It's in a dichotomous position; at times, existentially-threatened by those that hold the levers of power: while all the while, bulletproof among the majority of the people through its cherished place in this country.

According to the royal family's website, "The Queen pays tax." "In 1992, The Queen volunteered to pay income tax and capital gains tax, and since 1993 her personal income has been taxable as for any other taxpayer. The Queen has always been subject to Value Added Tax and pays local rates on a voluntary basis."5

I'd have no issue with the monarchy if it wasn't for the poor in society helping to keep the very rich, rich.Me being happy to fund a ceremonial monarchy doth not equate to me toadying to any other person, be it Lord, Lady, or premier league footballer
Sort the tax, and reduce the finances. Let the tourist industry pay for it if it brings in all that money to it. Very little goes back into the public purse.
It's another trickle down fallacy.
Christ! What a load of word salad.
As already stated, the monarchy are a net benefit, so the above is false equivalence.
?
Already stated; most cost-effective to sub the money, then get it back - in spades - from general taxation.
The tourist industry - as well as all other taxpayers - already pay for the monarchy, through general taxation.
£2 billion p.a., give or take.
The monarchy never get the £2 billion in the first place, so it is not in their gift to trickle it down. It goes to the Exchequer.
Whether it "trickles down" from there is for you to decide, through GEs.
