Barney why are you getting so upset over a little old lady's funeral and the "taxpayers money"?

Whereas I agree that £10m could do a lot if spent elsewhere, realistically spent within government there is so much wasted on consultants, reformation of government departments, spending on other public events/services and morally ambiguous but legally sound ventures that it really is a drop in the ocean

I'm not saying that it's good or bad but it is going to happen. It is better to accept and enjoy rather than begrudge and be upset...
