The Vatican makes a loss for the third year running and the Queen invites the Pope for tea. Who is footing most of the bill? The British tax payer. The British people must be the biggest mugs going to stay silent about the waste of your hard earned cash.
When will the Brits say no?
The cost to taxpayers of the Pope's visit to Britain could rise to £12m - up to £4m higher than previous figures, the government has said. That bill for the September trip does not include policing costs for the government, Lord Patten said.The main event, a mass to beatify Cardinal John Henry Newman, has been moved from Coventry airport to a smaller venue outside Birmingham. The Pope will visit Edinburgh, London and Glasgow during the four-day trip.
The trip will also cost the Catholic church £7m - a figure which could also rise.[1]
If the Queen invited him she can pay for it not the tax payer.
