Quote: spymaster "The wedding and tourism for this are relatively short term, clearly the government will be making money but in the real world as it is right now means armed forces. and nhs staff job losses are permanent the benefits in this situation are outweighed by the human cost. The royals do actually have a choice once adults to say no I want to be one of the boys yet still rip us off. If times were better I would have no real objections even though a waste of time but to find the money for this is distasteful to say the least. Bear in mind the money is in addition to the civil list money they get Imagine for one minute as has hsppened to my nephew serving in armed forces don,t worry about losing job a celebration of a wedding is better.'"
So what you're saying is that we shouldn't host an event that will make money for the country because other people elsewhere may lose their jobs?
Do you realise how silly that argument sounds?
My own mother's job is in severe jeopardy due to the cuts, only last week she was served notice that her position was under threat for the third time this year.
Do you not think that this money could actually help to keep her, amongst others in their jobs?
