      And some of the people who paid, then got arrested when showing their displeasure about the whole thing.

        How else are you supposed to treat the peasantry? They ought to know their place.

    I got a day off work, for a little over £1 of my tax contribution. I’m ok with this.

    Not an accountant, but i guess the funeral ceremony for the previous head of state - no political involvement - cost about the same. Thus swapping one non-political head of state for another cost in the region of 150mil. That seems rather a lot for someone to carry out a purely ceremonial role. Am i missing anything?
