Collecting the extra tax revenue from those idiot tourists (from UK and overseas) who came into town to watch the poncey horses and raf jet? And broadcasting rights? And extra sale of champers? And union flags? And cakes and pop for all the street parties?

Since this long political thread has come round to the subject of The Cuts, perhaps I could link it back to the original issue. I understood that the good old generous Royals footed the bill for the so-called wedding, and all the rest of us had to do was stump up the paltry 20 million quid for security. But my question is: in a time when the defence chiefs are screaming about how cuts are decimating our defence capability, when we are decomissioning aircraft carriers and cancelling fighter jet programmes (all things I agree with, BTW, but that is not relevant), what are we doing paying for all these squaddies to be prancing about on horses................and paying for RAF jets to do flypasts? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it) _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER (There's it)
