Well you
have to admit, when it comes to spending money in a big way the
Jubilee takes the biscuit. What a lavish pouring out of public money
to titillate the egos of our lords and masters. No expense spared,
heads of state from across the world, banquets, and luncheons fit for
a queen, probably as many troops playing at pomp and circumstance,
parading up and down central London as we have in Afghanistan.
However at the other end, there's money to be made. It seems that a
stewarding company called Close Protection UK had a contract to help
steward this lavish event, but when it comes to the wages of the
stewards, well it wasn't quite no expense spared. For the event this company took
on 80 unemployed, under the governments apprentice scheme, 50 were
under 25 and paid £2:60 an hour, the other 30 either accepted the
same rate or refused payment as it would adversely affect their
benefit money. Now that's a good deal if your a business. It was a 14
hour shift with no access to toilets during their shift, they were
brought in by bus from Plymouth, Bath and Bristol, dumped in the
middle of the night in London with no shelter.
I'm not over dressed for this little do, am I?
Compare this treatment
of “Her Majesty's Loyal Subjects” with the treatment of all those
millionaire/billionaire parasites being pampered at our expense. It
was a glorious display of what this society is all about, wealth and
power separated from the adoring poverty stricken hordes. It was
displayed for all the world to see, Britain is still a wonderfully
class divided society, a great place if your a millionaire and a
place in the adoring crowd if your not.
