Who Paid For This Criminal?

I don't want to waste any more time on this topic, but I do have a question. Whose footing the bill for this war criminal Codoleeza Rice's visit, in particular the security and disruption that has been such a feature of this 'private' visit?

I hope my taxes are not paying for it, - not when wards are being closed in hospitals for lack of funds. Mind you, a few more dead people is not going to worry someone such as her, - not when there is the possibility of a half decent photo oportunity which can be spun for her personal political advancement!

Me thinks we might be splitting the bill over this fiasco..

Sorry. No bill splitting. We fund everything to protect such august dignitaries. If she wants to bring another 1,500 Secret service, appropriately initialled SS, then the US pays for that. But, the police, site closures, preliminary vetting. It’s all ours. I also understand that the US does it all as well but they fund that. Didn’t Bush’s visit cost the UK taxpayer £5M or something?

Maybe she contributed a bit to the local economy by buying a few new shoes.

Will you please keep her over there? By the way, do you think she resembles Chuckie? Both Tarzan & I do.
