Floods and Conservatives, Royal Wedding costs

Downing Street said flood defence costs had been protected in the Spending Review. But on Wednesday, in the wake of the flooding in Cornwall, David Cameron said spending had been protected.When told it had fallen from £2.3bn to £2.1bn the prime minister's spokesman said it was "broadly the same" although overall costs had been cut by a third. David Cameron really needs to get his facts right, he really needs to win back the population a bit as after this and after the 9,000 rise in university fees people are getting a bit worried. I am worried this has all happened in the few months he has been in power - what is going to happen in 4 years - yikes!!!!



Lord Archer has been protecting Prince William and Kate Middleton against the recent public worries over the cost of forthcoming wedding. It is reported that Prince Charles will fund the event, although the taxpayer's bill for security could reach £20m. So Lord Archer what is your response to this?? Are you going to put your hand in your pocket to fund this?? If not who else is going to pay for this?

Celebrities
Firstly is there wedding bells in there air for Sophia Bush and Austin Nichols the on and off screen couple have been dating for quiet a while now but are they at the marriage stage - fingers crossed as they would have such cute kids :)
UK British Gas is set to rise gas and electricity bills by 7%.  The increase is set to be enforced on the 10th December - it is as a result of a rise in wholesale prices.
The rise will effect 8 million customers but 300,000 of the most vulnerable customers will initially not be charged more .
