The impression other nations have of us is going to be stuff like this. The US has its poor it also has massive debt. It also wants to project the idea it is a superpower abroad. If the President turned up on a budget airline it might save a few quid but would also give the impression the country was in dire straits.
Im not even sure why £60 million is the sticking point. The destroyer we are sending to Iran cost us about a billion. £60 million probably buys us about one modern fighter aircraft. So buy one less aircraft, and have a ship that can be used by sea cadets, could be a tourist attraction, could drum up trade and be around for probably a few decades. £60 million only sounds a lot for an individual. For a nation its sod all. As above, about one less fighter aircraft. The Olympics works out at about a billion quid per day. Something LGS did support. What about the hospitals and the little orphans £12 billion could have been spent on there?
We should have private jets, royal yachts, and Olympic games all so we can show the world the UK is a step above other nations. I would have hated to see Blair getting a private jet but on the other hand its a necessary evil to project who we are to others. |
