From BBC Front Page News:-
A scheme to clean and refurbish the tomb of King Edward II in Gloucester Cathedral has been awarded more than £40,000 of Lottery money.
It is the 700th anniversary of the monarch's accession to the throne.

The grant will go towards a restoration bill of £100,000 and will also support a series of anniversary events.

£100,000? How the hell can they justify that for a clean up?
Am I missing something here?
The £40,000 of OUR money could have gone to fighting gun crime, fighting MRSA, Kids charities, hospital etc. etc. but no, we are going to buy solid gold mops & buckets & pay a specialist tomb cleaner £1000 an hour to clean it!
