So i was scrolling through facebook last night and one of my friends posted this up:
there's no magic money tree to support those dying on our streets, to help students who can't afford to eat, to help young businesses function, feed starving mothers, fathers and children. but we can muster up a modest "maybe £40m" to restore a clock that i highly doubt anybody in the 21st century relies on to tell the time.
the government we didn't vote for holds no care in their hearts for the people in need in this country.
the conservative approach is killing the humanity in our society. don't appease the facist tory/republican regime. we will not stand for this.
What are your thoughts on this?
Edit: i will post my opinion on this matter once we hit trending.

Well, to be pragmatic about it, that 40 million maintains Big Ben for how many years or decades, and generates how much in tourism money? When that same 40 million would last what, maybe 3 months at most helping the poor. Apples and oranges really.
