# the £12 million figure doesnt even include security costs.
i fear £40 million may be a conservative estimate

# But it's not as if we're paying him an appearance fee.
The £40 million is for things like police overtime, hotel accommodation, and so on - in other words, things that'll feed back into the economy.

The financial argument against the visit doesn't seem to me to stack up...

# It's £40 million they could spend on something else.
That's the argument right there. It's not like the Vatican is hurting for money. They should foot the bill.

# it's going to put a lot of strain on budgets that have already been cut by 25% in some cases.
This will ultimately lead to either higher taxes or a reduced level of service.
