Were skint, but they blow £1.8 million on fireworks!

So the New Year Celebrations in London were attended by some 250,000 - I hope they enjoyed it, but why do we have to try to 'outdo' other Countries?

As a Country were skint, heavily in debt and disabled people are getting their benefits cut and even removed altogether, numerous other cuts via the Councils are still happening and they can justify spending this sort of money on fireworks?

Disgraceful, Cameron and co and time for you to go. You'll be getting a taste of what it's like to have UKIP with a very powerful voice soon.

UKIP MEPS at the European Elections coming soon, look out 'old boys'.

Ron, as far as I'm aware the cost of the London fireworks is covered entirely by private companies, I believe Vodaphone stumped up most of the money this year. Private companies and sponsorship also cover the cost of the Policing and the security.

Only reason I know is because I wondered too and looked into it. I also read that if everyone who attended to watch the display spent around £10 on food and drink that would generate around £2.5 million.
