and if, like me, you think that it's wrong, and / or the UK taxpayer footing the bill for the Pope's upcoming visit to the UK is wrong in the light of this or any number of his less than tolerant pronouncements in the last couple of years, then please go here and sign the petition against his visit.
Thanks... Keep calm and carry on.

Date: 2010-02-02 10:17 am (UTC)I can never get my head around HOW these events cost so much. I know it's apparantly all down to "security" and things, but 50 security guards, paid £20 an hour, on duty for 24 hours, for a week, only comes to £168,000, even adding a private jet and rooms at a posh hotel I can't work out where the rest goes!
