The government, or whoever, have decided that this is a good use of money. I don't think it is. Many others don't think it is. Boasting that its good for the economy is a way of justifying something that is completely unnecessary. £250bn? I'd have rather spent £10bn and had a battery factory with the rest of the money, if it comes to that.
I wasn't 'boasting' that the coronation or the concert were good for the economy. I was just pointing out the fact that they enabled economic activity. Which, whatever your opinion of the reasons they were held, is not a bad thing. It was not a 'waste' of money; we are not talking about household finances, we're talking about national finances which are not constrained by a finite amount of money.
I did agree that it didn't look good.
