I understand how the pots work Neil. I just don't think it's a very good way to run the finances of a country.

What of those who were killed in the same war but weren't in the Accrington Pals? Are they any less worth remembering? What of the widows and orphans whose fathers were killed in other ways not necessarily on the front line? I'm not trying to belittle the memory of the Pals, just not wanting overemphasis on one group to belittle the loss suffered by others.

Back on the subject of the Panopticon personally I didn't like the location or any of the designs and fear that something requiring maintenance could be more of a liability than an assett. Why can't we just have a nice town centre statue?
