I’ve said it on a previous thread but I’m going to say it again.
£118,811.
That’s how much it costs PER VETERAN for the Invictus games .
Wouldnt that money be better spent on support for veterans? Housing, therapy, physical therapy, adaptations**, dentists, wheelchairs etc.
I hope it doesn’t go ahead. Utter waste of money.
Dorreen Lawrence will be whistling for any money from Harry. There’s no way on this earth that Meghan will let Harry pay millions out for DLs costs. And,in fairness ,nor should he. She did this of her own accord. And if im honest after Grenfell/the exhumation of Steven’s body im disgusted with her.
Well done to @jeffgoldblum and everyone else who said call me Meg wouldn’t come. Thanks to @bluegreygreen for the new thread.
** I know councils help with adaptations but the wait can be horrendous. My husband became paraplegic 2 years ago. He fell in the large shower we have last November (it has a step). OT told him not to use it until it had been adapted.
We are still waiting. He hasn’t had a shower in 8 months. Hope fully itwill be done before Christmas but we hve been told not to hold our breath. I do my best with bed baths but it’s not the same is it? So I doubt veterans would get any more preferential treatment. That £118, 811 could help somuch. And only 50 of the vets are British so they could give them all the help they needs and still hve millions left over to help further men/women who have served King & Country.
