I don't understand why my newsfeed isn't filled with outrage. 2 of my fb friends have passed comment but everyone else is maybe still in bed, like me, or perhaps others don't feel the incredulity I do?
I know every media story can be presented in a particular way to suit an agenda. I appreciate I don't fully understand the ramifications etc etc. But I simply can't get away from an indignation that 374million pounds of taxpayer money could be spent on repairs to Buckingham palace at a time when there's no money to fund the nhs or anything. My local library and children's centre are about to close. Bedroom tax??? How many bedrooms does this two person royal family have?? Again, I realise that the palace is a tourist attraction bringing loads of people to Britain. But how can that be right, they get to see a completely false representation of the country as they see opulence whilst the reality is the rest of us are struggling. According to the guardian a 66% pay rise so the boilers, pipes etc can be fixed. I am likely to need a new boiler soon so have been saving up. I've not had any pay rise whatsoever since I started my job 7 years ago.
Incredulous I am.
