You've conveniently forgotten that london is the engine of the british
economy. Any money spent on getting more people to work here on time and
unstressed will ultimately be repaid more than hansomely in GDP. Something
successive governments seem to forget when the idiots in the treasury get aroundto their yearly book balancing.

And if you want to debate subsidies, perhaps you might want to investigate
the amount we subsidise the scots so they can have their pointless toytown
