Oh fuck off, they were volunteers you do know what that actually means don't you?
Do you know about the people working as stewards in venues that have had their jobs taken away for the duration? Oh no that story was not reported was it. What about all the unemployed that would have had their benefits removed if they did not 'volunteer', and now they have got all that training standing about in the street who is going to employ them? So how much have the big corporations lost? And what has been the effect on even medium sized businesses in London. Yes it was nice, but it is always the same 'it's the rich wots gets the money its the poor wot gets the blame.' I would not mind at all if those that benefited paid.
