Angarak Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 If your interested in seeing how the Government are wasting your ever increasing taxes, this is a good place to find out. Warning: Do not view if you have high blood pressure or any heart conditions :: http://www.taxpayersalliance.com Here's an example (Weekly Waste Roundup) "A Government quango which spent £140,000 of taxpayers' money to fund research into the history of pockets was accused today of "totally wasting" public funds on frivolous projects. The grant was awarded to Southampton University by the Arts and Humanities Research Council to study the topic over three years. Researchers used the cash to explore the history of the tie-on pocket, which were worn by women under their petticoats or aprons from the late 17th century. Their aim was to "bring them back into the public consciousness and to understand more clearly what they meant to the women who wore them."

Guest phat wheels Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yep, that's a tragic waste of money, as is almost everything concerning quangoes. Just more jobs for the (old) boys. However, these useless institutions pale into insignificance compared to the 26 Billion pounds the new Trident is priced at.[ANGRY][/ANGRY] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
