Feb 18, 2012 - the entire cost of the Diamond Jubilee which is 12 million. is not being funded by the taxpayer. and half the cos of the wedding was privately funded

Feb 18, 2012 - "half the cos of the wedding was privately funded" - oh, that makes it fine then. -_-
smnk3 says:
Feb 18, 2012 - Ah I see. Thanks - think you're the only person replying calmly.
dillsish says:
Feb 20, 2012 - half the cost is 20million that is nothing. a few pence each
smnk3 says:
Feb 20, 2012 - That money can help an entire community. I didn't mean give us the money, but spend it on something useful.
dillsish says:
Feb 20, 2012 - it is being spent on something useful. it will give us all a 4 day holiday and bring the nation together. the 12 million spent on thi will bring in millons of tourists who all together will spend millions and therefor helping an entire community
smnk3 says:
Feb 20, 2012 - Yer, I see. Nice having a constructive argument for once.

Feb 21, 2012 - What is wrong with all you retards moaning about expenses?The government are spending more money on some shitty railway in 2013 than they are on the Olympics. If you seriously think 12-14billion is a lot of money for a country to -->*invest*<-- then you clearly underestimate the UK; London city's business revenue would top that figure in a week. ^_^-----Some advise:Make an opinion that is based on facts.If you don't have facts.Don't make an opinion.Capisci?

Mar 23, 2012 - thing is whatever the tourist brings in the public of this country don't see or ever benefit from. Look at our tube system - dreadful and that's just one example."therefor helping an entire community" you are deluded, I live here and always have.
dillsish says:
Mar 27, 2012 - "I live here and always have."that makes 2 of us. you are so stupid to think we don't beneit from it. our tube system is the oldest in the world so it may be overcrowded but it still gets everyone on, its on time when there are no delays. stop complaining
sweetypie000 says:
Mar 27, 2012 - try travelling on it 10 times a week during rush hour and I'll listen to your bullshit opinion
