The Colston Four

Where did I say I did?
But those that are paying, do you think they all think it's a good use of their hard earned money.

Implied with "these costs are borne by us all". A bit like an American tourist attending a tax payer's alliance rally, no?

I paid council tax (indirectly via letting agency and landlord) in 8 of the 10 months (Sept-June) (1 out of 3 in annual billing period).

Have you got the costs breakdown to hand?

You'd have to balance it against the cost of removing the statue that were saved, and any increased donations to M Shed as a result of interest in the statue exhibit.

Plus increase in value to statue, if it is be sold for a a six figure sum it probably represents a big net profit.

And it is some extra money that the council can use to fund M Shed and other cultural places under their responsibility.

Might be fair value all things considered.

So yes, potentially looks like a good use of council tax payer money.

I'm 30. Ironic because despite people explaining things clear to you, you keep repeating the same arguments unchanged.

It’s nothing new. Any good A-level law student could tell you that.

I suspected you were in that age group.

Well at aged 30, I would expect a rational discussion to discuss the topic, which you clearly no longer seem incapable of.

I would also expect you to know more about how local Councils receive money, especially from Central Government, which all tax payers pay to fill the coffers.

We clearly are going around in circles as well as disagree.
Let's leave it there

I can think of worse things my tax shillings have contributed to
