The conflict in Iraq has cost taxpayers £3.1bn up to the end of March, and since then the chancellor has put aside a further £400m in contingency funds.

He is expected to pledge more money in November's pre-Budget report.
The chancellor has been careful to avoid any suggestion that the war has put pressure on the public finances.

£3.1 billion for what? More terror, more dead, more torture and a quagmire that will drain more.

Add the rebate that they are going to give away too and Britain will be well on it's way to 3rd world status.

Watch as the EU is then held up as the solution.

Precisely! :roll: And just think what we could have had done for that kind of money! Blair is totally shameless because there will have to be a leaving date and, as he and Bush have now antagonised more than they sought to pacify, it will probably mean a good chunk of it will be totally wasted and for for no lasting benefit at all!

3 Billion for killing people but they won't even give a cleaner 6 quid an hour. There is no justice in this country or world.
