Houses or Parliament Restoration

[Blue and true]

£25Bn and 76 years?

Someone’s taking the piss, or moved the decimal point to the right!

Find a crappy up North location and make some of these Southern Softies get a taste of what REAL LIFE is like for millions of Britons north of the M25!

There's just taking the piss.

I would love to know why it's costing so much to renovate. To put some sort of perspective on it, co-op live cost just shy of £400m to build; an ultra-modern, state of the art entertainments venue. Even allowing for the timeframe of the costs, it's still around 300k a year.

Gold pigs troughs don’t come cheap!

This landline has been waiting years to explode. Cross Party action groups producing report after report and all kicking the can down the road.
Ive banged on about this on this forum a few times and am pleased it’s come out so publically now. Let alone the renovation cost, the annual bills to run this estate are eye popping with things like fire patrols 24x7 as the fire alarms can’t be trusted.
Radical action is needed. Fuck the history the taxpayer should not shoulder the renovation bill. Send Parliament to Rwanda for a year and commission a new facility outside London.

Indeed.

And just realised I got my maths completely wrong, it's around 300million a year. Mind-boggling. But then the Tories have always been selective when it comes to tightening or loosening the purse strings of our money. Maybe the magic money tree is growing new leaves, it's nearly summer after all.

Isn't Charlie still living at Clarence House and not moved into Bucks palace yet?

Ironic that the King is cutting his cloth whilst parliament indulges in tradition and cosplay for it's own sake whilst lecturing everyone else how to go about their lives.

Having a working building and preserving a historic monument aren't compatible.

The tower of London no longer holds prisoners, there's scores of Former Royal palaces replaced by something more in keeping with the times.

The London mayor's offices relocated from central London to Victoria docks.

Numerous councils have had to sell buildings or mothball older parts because they aren't economical to run.

Some are more equal than others.

I’d love to see a breakdown of what exactly the money is being spent on and what profit is being made and who by. I appreciate that businesses are there to make money but we’ve seen over the past few years the massive, immoral profits some individuals have made whilst others struggle.
I do not object to our historic buildings being looked after and restored where necessary but I do object to people using the restoration to make these insane profits.
