Disgusting!

I posted back in June about the shamefully belated memorial to Bomber Command being unveiled in London.  Big occasion - the Queen and most of the Royal Family were there together with thousands of veterans - so who do you think should foot the bill for the day?  The Government, right?  Wrong!  To be fair, they have chipped in with about £200,000 but that still leaves a shortfall of over half a million which they say is not their responsibility and therefore falls to the Bomber Command Association to pay.  Problem is, the Association has no money left, and the trustees - themselves Bomber Command veterans - face losing their homes. Given that half a million pounds is chump change in governmental terms, they should do the decent thing.
