in the UK ministers have spent upwards of £50 million on refurbishing their offices, last year Schools Secretary Ed Balls showered £78,300 on plants — while Jack Straw spent almost £27,000 on flora for his Ministry of Justice, in my view even before the financial crises this is an obscene amount of money to be spent on pot plants, who are theses people trying to impress?
the figures were released by 15 major Government departments, other ministries, which refused to say how much they spent, could take the final figure to £63million,
to put this in perspective, that would pay for more than 660 more nurses, 626 teachers or nearly 200 doctors a year, it could also buy 8,300 hip replacement ops, 40 new MRI scanners or 1,700 prison places, for spending my money in my book Ed Balls, Jack Straw et al should all be in prison!
