£40 Million was spent on restoring St Pauls cathedral. WTF.

A massive waste of money and time.
That money could have gone towards education or health care. Selfish idiots.
Why do they need such lavish buildings?

I'm all for the up keep of historic buildings. probably tarted it up for the royal wedding.

Its the royals we could really do without.

They are a parasitic entity.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

Yeah, I suppose. Architecture can be quite awesome. I prefer the look of natural structures though Wink

Yes, the royals are a waste of time and money aswell.

But it is knowing that it will be used for religious purposes rather than an awe inspiring building for observation.

St Pauls is an important part of Uk architecture, the only good thing religion has given us. Plus the wedding was at Westminster abbey.

Because their fucking 'god' is alleged to have said:

Quote:"Then [Jesus] said to them, 'Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.'" Luke 12:15


Oh. Wait. That can't be it!

That money went to hundreds of contruction workers, architects, designers...It wasn't just thrown out the window, it was used to pay people. And that means stimulating the economy, and that's not a bad thing at all.

Also, monuments stand tall through the ages and are something of importance.

Without considering the obvious tourist revenues they get from that cathedral.

Equally true of refurbishing schools and bridges and with far greater practical payback.
