Get fucking real you twatt. Whatever the cost to the Nation will be fuckall compared to the increase in tourism and film rights etc etc etc. Just the same as when his mum married Charlie.

Fucking "Gobshyte"(TM Rodders) Muslims always ready to call us, "dirty" and "Infidels" and they can't even organise a decent flushing toilet to dump in, or places to eat that don't send you to hospital with food poisoning, because the sods can't be bothered with basic hygiene. Presumably it's against the Koran to wash your fucking hands after you've had a crap!

They'll happily take our money, with a sickly smile on their faces and then stab you in the back. They make me !puke! (Literally)

I hope their holiday trade goes down the toilet, it deserves to.

1. Get REAL folks... whether you personally like it or not William
is our future KING. The United Kingdom is a monarchy and the
lad deserves and will get a decent wedding.
2. He also seems quite a nice boy (from what I can judge). Personally
I wish him well. In romance. On his `big day` AND as my future
Soveriegn.
3. On the other topic - the Maldives - I am astonished at Jim Slip`s
rage against Muslims....Some of that faith do indeed think themselves
superior to and hate other faiths and peoples. Clearly Mr Slip has the
same hatred for them and intolerance....
4. From the furore in the Maldives it seems most Maldivians - Muslim or
not - have been ashamed and embarrassed by recent events.
5. Rather the way I feel about Jim`s religious and nationalistic slurs.

Given the intelligent bloke he is I'm sure William and his bride to be would very much rather have a low key affair if they were allowed, I don't imagine he's stupid or insensitive enough to actually want a huge all singing and dancing costing millions wedding.

That said I rather imagine his input into what happens will be rather limited given that he our future King. No doubt he will be expected to have a state wedding at the governments insistence as it provides opportunity to invite all the big wigs from around the world for a jolly and back scratching session.

Furthermore even in this lethargic age we live in most of the general population will get a bit of a boost from it so from a morale point of view it has its plus points.

And as someone mentioned it'll attract vast swathes of tourists so before during and after so it'll pay for itself in the long run. Nevermind the amount of wedding tat that will be available to buy.

I actually feel sorry for them as it really will be out of their hands to a certain extent and despite Ms Middleton having been inaugurated into the scene I daresay she's still be bricking it, I mean who wants 48 million parasitical papparazzi following you arond all the time?

I like the way they managed to sneak off without anyone knowing, fair balls to them and I wish them good luck

I can't help thinking that if there was a profit to be made out of a Royal Wedding the taxpayer wouldn't be paying for it.

Royal Weddings plc would be running it under a private sponsordhip deal.

As far as I'm aware Prince Charles does not get any money from the Civil List, in fact he pays several million in tax on his Duchy Of Cornwall properties. He will probably pick up most of the tab.

Could the wedding of Wills and Kate be put out to private tender to gain best value for the taxpayer?

[mrchapel]

Seeing as the taxpayer isn`t paying for it I`d guess no

[andy at handiwork]

I think you will find that however much the two families put towards the cost of the happy event, the tax payer will be saddled with the huge security bill.
