It's Government money, not the taxpayers

De MENEZES INQUIRY BILL WILL NOT GO TO TAXPAYER

THE government will foot the multimillion bill for the Jean Charles de Menezes murder inquiry.

Oh brother. Where does one start with the ignorance of this journalist? The point he is making is that the council tax payer of the local boroughs where the cock-up happened will not foot the bill exclusively. But of course they will still pay, as will everybody else.

Memo to David Yuill, the Government has no money of its own. It is all taken, on pain of imprisonment from the people, either where they live or where they work.
