I've no axe to grind against the Royal Family or the Conservatives. I can take or leave the former and I despise Labour every bit as much as I do the Tories. I just think in this time of stringent costcutting measures, it's sheer madness to squander public money on Royal Wedding celebrations. However, far more importantly, what's all this about not being overly fond of football? I thought you said you were coming up the Stanley on Saturday? I was really looking forward to meeting you! |

I'm stating that far from being 'priceless', with residential care homes for disabled children threatened with closure, as well as hundereds of local jobs being at risk, it is an irresponsible waste of money. No factual evidence can be given as to any finacial returns. That would be guess work. Which is never a good thing to do, when faced with dire straits. Even with other peoples' money. As for megalomanical, you might want to check your vocabulary, as well as your facts. If you mean not afraid of speaking out, when something is obviously wrong. Yes that's me. Bring it on. I've always been comfortable in my own skin ever to feel the need to chase power, or wealth. Nor do I suffer from mental illness. Though I do occasionally fear for the sanity of some poor deluded souls. |

I'm 'more money than sense', please to meet you. Although having met you, the label I'd stick on you, if forced to, would either be 'straight as a die', or 'honest as the day is long'. Takes all sorts. Some'll happily fork out for a full orchestra, to belt out 'Land of Hope and Glory', without a hope in Hell of actually paying them for doing so. (No smiley, so as not to cause anyone grave offence.) |

All united, from right-wing Tory, to left-wing red, and the many moderates, of no particular political persuasion, in thinking this is an utter waste of their money. It is about costs. |

How else would you take that virtual comment, Wynonie ? Implied that I was questioning your right not to comment on your vote and, as explained, I did not question that in the first place. Wouldn't exactly call you a liar . that's a bit strong ... just that you were being sarcastic with me, without just cause. Well, am coming off this thread now as, as predicated, has just resorted to a slanging match due to the fact that I dared to vote a 'yes' on the poll and tried to be reasonable about the costs and dared to look at the bigger picture. 'Course I have not got around to the loyalty for our past and how the world is envious about our Monarchy. The ceremony with our soldiers and dignitaries in their smart uniforms, the golden coach, the absolute professional organisation we have for such events. The past memories of the bringing together families like our Queen's marriage, when ration coupons were still being distributed, but still helped to hold the country together. And, of course, the millions it will bring into the country. However, mustn't digress into the National contribution as Garinda said, but seems able to spread his own tentacles into other areas. Bet all you 'no's' will have a quick peek anyway and derive some sort of pleasure and pride from it... :p And bet there are loads of members on here who would vote yes but daren't due to preempting attacks such as these. |

Also, if you think that there are hordes of subdued would-be "yes" voters, cowed into silence, then you have a very low opinion of your fellow Accywebbers. From my experience of this forum, the vast majority of members will come right out and say what they think, regardless of Gary's, Cashy's, mine or anybody else's opinion! (Look - no emoticons!). |
Re: Royal Wedding - The poll.

The vast majority of people object on principle, to there being any costs involved at all, to be funded from the public purse, and therefore paid for by themselves. We'll just have to agree to disagree. You and Neil are happy paying for the royal wedding celebrations. The rest of Hyndburn disagree, and are not so very keen. To say the least. :) P.S. As a holiday idea, why not join the millions of fellow tourists and visit France's historic palaces and monuments? Toy Town soldiers, in ever such cute uniforms. A thousand rooms at Versailles to mooch around. Rather than a miserly ten at Buck House. All this, and the only royal personage you're likely to see will probably be a ghost. Bon voyage. :) |
