Exactly whose money is it?

From Paul Waugh on Twitter:
"No.10 spksman kills Royal Yacht idea:" I don't think this wd be an appropriate use of public money given the state of the nations finances"
Some of us don't believe it an appropriate use of public money, given the state of the nation's finances, to increase our contribution to the IMF to help troubled eurozone countries.


Some of us don't believe it an appropriate use of public money, given the state of the nation's finances, to fund our politicians in order that they may govern our country, when they so obviously do not and cannot.


Some of us don't believe it an appropriate use of public money, given the state of the nation's finances, to fund a railway line the objective of which has been shown to be flawed.


Some of us don't believe it an appropriate use of public money, given the state of the nation's finances, to fund an energy policy that is so obviously not fit for purpose.


Some of us don't believe it an appropriate use of public money, given the state of the nation's finances, to fund development aid to other countries when the elderly and vulnerable in our own country are left wanting.


Just a few examples in rebuttal, Mr. No10 spokesman - over to you.........
