Why don't you google the finances for HBC? I can't be bothered now, but if you do, you'll find that they received about £15m from the local council taxpayers. In addition, they received about another £7m which was sent up from London. That is money collected from every taxpayer in the land - including me.
You may also have seen today's news about Barclays Bank and their profits of £6bn. About a third of that is going to end up in the UK treasury; some of that in turn will end up in the coffers of HBC. Barclays Bank HQ location - Churchill Place, Tower Hamlets. Almost next door to HSBC, who will probably be paying even more into the UK Treasury and neither of whom received money in the taxpayer bailout.

I asked earlier in the thread how you're celebrating Will's taking Kate up the aisle, in the Peoples' Republic of Tower Hamlets.
I'm sure we'd all love to know, if you'd care to share the information.
