if old queenie of england is wanting more money, to pay her millions of staff and upkeep her many many palaces. Its times like this i wish i was French!!... although without the garlic smell and the lack of a decent music culture.
and this brings me onto something else.
so the governments are poor, borrowing money left right and centre, food costs are rising, fuel costs twice as much as it did 10 years ago, etc etc etc.
so, if thats the case why do governments still give millions of taxpayers money to things that are just not really needed in a bad financial situation?
i.e. The UK government gives millions to things like Ballet companies... millions to local governments who use it to ensure things like Ospreys are allowed to roost on a tree 19 miles from anywhere... they give millions upon millions to modern art galleries who then use it to buy a statue of a man shitting out a golden cloud...
if things were so bad, then i suggest the governments ask every man and woman of a voting age
Q. what would you rather have...
a) a ballet put on in the centre of London even though you live 400 miles away?
b) a museum of modern art which has a collection of various orphans tears?
c) a fucking Osprey nest that only 4 dedicated hillwalkers will ever see?
d) cheaper fuel, mortgages, food, utilities, travel, etc

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

and the Queen has requested tens of millions of our money to make sure her palaces are all ok?
maybe a nice ballet would help me de-stress..
