What the UK spends stuff on.

Apologies for the delay and thanks to Malcolm Redfellow for the tip. Here’s a great graphic from the Guardian on UK Government spending 10/11. Have a play to find out the easiest way to interpretate. (I bought the paper to get hard copy,,,)

Anyway UK debt interest is £44 billion quid a year. For those of us lucky enough to work that’s twenty quid a week each.

Seven billion quid a year on  the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority…..

Child benefit costs £12 billion a year (I think it’s for the scrap heap imminently…)

Explore and feedback please….
