It's a nice thought that the lottery heritage fund, or HM government might acquire these, or at least some of them, for the Nation.

Some hope ! Cameron's involved. First of all, there'll be a few people in Burma who'll become very rich out of this. Unavoidable in Asia I know, that's their way of doing business.

From our side, we'll Contract-out the enormous amount of consultancy work involved in this project. (To a cronie, obviously). Solictors will generate problems that will earn them a fortune. The removal, and transportation will be contracted-out, as part of a partnering agreement, private finance initiative, and framework agreement (Multiple tiers of profit !!!) On reaching the UK, our own revenue & customs will cause all sorts of problems (More millions for solicitors / consultants)

Sorry to be so grumpy, but we all know how this will pan-out. Taxpayers / lottery players will get very little, millions will be exchanged, and a few will be loaded.

Never in the field of human conflict ..............
