This is one of the reasons why I moved from the UK. Not because I am not proud to be British. I am proud.
However, I am not proud of the UK Government.
The UK tax payer has forked out 10 million to fund this visit and now this comes along?
ALL governments are corrupt. We are taxed to death and taxed when we die. I truly wish there was a way out of this.

Us poor Aussie Tax Payers had to pay more than that to get Oprah here for a week..
Heck, I'd be happy to pay more if she stayed away..

Do not blame you one bit, lol.

On topic, security would have to be massive for a pope visit, and all the people riding the wave.

Yeah but it's not like the Catholic church is short a dollar..
Why should ALL tax payers foot the bill for a religious leader.??

Slap Orah's behind and ride on that wave. LOL
Sorry to all you Oprah fans.

The ride would be cool but who'd risk falling into that trough..

WOW! Pedophilia is expensive these days... Sorry, I couldn't resist. What ever happened with the money laundering investigation into the Vatican? It was all over the news for a while and then disappeared completely.

Ministers,

Replace that aid money out of your own greedy pockets.

Some stupid old man visited and took up millions of aid money?

Get real.

Oprah and the Pope enjoying on the backs of taxpayers. I don't think that's right considering she makes more than the Pope or the taxpayers. She is morally bankrupt to take what doesn't belong to her.

Catwhoknowsplusone and pikypiky. I fully agree with you both.
Thanks and starred.

Well, if there's anything I learned from James Bond, whenever a lot of cash is exchanged, extortion and sex is involved.

Starred just for the damned cheek of it. LOL
And the moral of the story? If you don't ask, you don't get. LOL

Here is a good idea!

Oprah and the pope could elope!

Then all the money in the world could vanish!
