Anyone have a Scooby-Doo wtf this waste of money was all about? Did you see anything in your neck of the woods - I didn't see anything round here or up in Yorkshire, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough

It seems there's some highly dubious numbers being put about regarding "participation" when the only thing that I've seen supposedly "connected" to this is the rusty old oil rig they've dragged up on Weston-Super-Mare beach and turned into a "water feature" - and apparently that wasn't ready in time and it's now closed down. What were the other " 9 projects" and where were the other "106 locations"? Claiming around 6 million "participants in an event" for watching a force-fed 15 minute segment on a Sunday afternoon telly show is really taking the piss. The dodgiest of accountants, cooking the books for the Tories and where they get their funding from might have even given that one a swerve. What the hell did they spend £120m of our money on other than "wages" for some of the Tories best mates (yet again)?

The "Head of Spending our Cash" is now off to Liverpool to spend more of our cash, and earn another big fat wage on Eurovision.
