[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 360918, member: 33"] I'm sure there were some positive attributes of the con-a-nation but I struggle to think of any. The whole thing showcased to the world that the UK is an unequal society in which people can achieve greatness, not through merit, but by means of the family they are born to. It showed how privilege and wealth are valued in this country more than personal achievement. The pictures that went around the world were the police arresting innocent, peaceful protesters which gave the impression that we are a intolerant society bordering onto totalitarianism. The boost to the economy falls short of the cost of the event itself, the security and the bank holiday. Yes, it attracted some tourists but I think it deterred even more from coming here because they were put of by the crowds, road closures and the general difficulty of getting around. I was in the City of London on Saturday and Sunday and it was far less busy that usual, I would estimate around two-thirds fewer people were there compared with a normal weekend. [/QUOTE]
