Anything that doesn't fit your narrow worldview is

Interesting, we had quite different numbers in the newspapers the recent days.
The Coronation costed about GBP 10 Mio / EUR 11 Mio (in 1953 about GBP 22 Mio / EUR 25 Mio).
….
….
It's estimated that London's hospitality and hotel industry alone is set to generate almost GBP 200 Mio more revenue this weekend. The industry association UK Hospitality estimates an additional turnover of GBP 350 Mio for the whole country.
Four million Britons planned a short holiday over the long weekend.
Travel agencies report increased bookings from America and the continent.
Retailers also look forward to increased sales from thousands of street parties and royalist parties. The Center for Retail Research estimates around GBP 130 Mio is spent on cakes, food, flags and party supplies. Bakers have produced special Charles cakes, Charles cardboard cutouts are available.
In addition, masses of souvenirs and memorabilia are to be sold for up to GBP 200 Mio.

"King Charles forces taxpayers to pay for his ceremony and refuses to spend less"
it's always good to be the King, unless LouisXVI
Cue for Millard's guillotine.
