[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 386001, member: 33"] In the UK, as in many part of the world, there is a cost of living crisis. Around 17% of people here are in absolute poverty ([URL='https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn07096/']government figures[/URL]) and [URL='https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/child-poverty-levels-uk-worst-among-worlds-richest-nations-unicef-report-finds-2023-12-06/']according to UNICEF[/URL] child poverty levels amongst the worst of world’s richest nations. The Conservative Government think instead of using £8 million pounds to address some of these issues, the money is better spent to fund providing photographs of Charles for schools and other public buildings. It's a colossal waste of money at any time but particularly now when money is so tight. The photo they have chosen shows Charles wearing too few medals considering how valiantly he fought in zero wars and all his military service was in non-combat roles. Just imagine how many medals an actual veteran would have.
