Cost of Coronation is quoted as being  £100 million.

 

Wow, that's going to ruffle a few feathers. Just remember that next time government says it can't afford to fund something useful....

Is the Government paying for it?

What a delight you are.

 

Let me guess, leftie republican who is miserable as hell?

As a none royalist I honestly believe that if the monarchy ceased to exit that very little of the monetary savings would find their way to the poor. Some folk would make fortunes out of a presidential government, sadly not the poor.

It will soon be here , The biggest waste of public funds in history .

It's less than the extra costs in public funds and loss to business of 2 days of Brexit

 

In terms of waste of public funds, it's so insignificant it's not even on the chart of contenders.

How much is going to be made by businesses and services and the economy generally by all the mass tourism the coronation is going to bring into this country?    How much focus, attention and interest in this tiny island is going to be generated when the world's media is all staring on one thing for the next couple of weeks?

What sort of impact does a major event like this have on our standing on the global stage and our  commonwealth Nations?  What sort of development and opportunities could arise from such a significant event?  

 

Heard it all before Anna. The same sort of tired old  arguments that come out every time there's any sort of royal ceremony or major public event.   Waaa waaa how many nurses, teachers and care workers would that pay for....

 

Guess what, even if the Coronation and Monarchy as a whole was abandoned tomorrow , nurses and care workers wouldn't magically get a lump of money.  Doesn't work like that.

 

Besides, compared to the astronomical sums of money that your precious NHS pees away month in month out, £100m for a major global event that at best happens only couple of times each century, is nothing.
