[QUOTE="Biggie, post: 388017, member: 24034"] I agree with you, the money could have been spent elsewhere. Homeless shelters of course would be of great benefit. The £8 million would provide little in the way of a permeant solution. But a few days/weeks of the streets would be a Godsend I'm sure. I give homeless people on the street corner a few quid, in the hope that it'll help them get what ever they need. I know that in my hometown the shelter has some very restrictive rules that are counterproductive, so many are thrown out for breaches. Homeless shelters have their place but I'm quite the reality of they help isn't as positive as one might imagine. Why not give medals. The powers that be should raise a statue to me... I've done some great work in my time. Casual bystanders have no doubt either been impressed by my work or disapproved of me being "tired and emotional". What I do is not the concern of bystanders, as long as I don't visit my choices on them. Charles and Diana's marriage was little more that a pantomime played out in the public eye. We don't know everything that was happening away from camera lens. If her committed adultery, so what. His choice has not been visited on the public in any meaningful way. I've got a feeling that his image in public buildings is not intended to stroke his ego, but rather the expected norm. Similar to his image appearing on banknotes. [/QUOTE]
