Sign Of The Times.

Get rid of the chairs, we don't need media presence, all they do is interfere and cause trouble.

this is what 2.6M gets you?

Yes.

I like it. Looks great!

Just unnecessary in my view.

Give it a Chance

Looks like a big brother task room

Who’s pocketed the other 2.45 million?

Russia

Well it looks fine, but there's no way the massive price tag went on that. I'm guessing their mates got the most of it.

I thought she was going to knife the poor women :joker:

wow looks very classy :clap1:


President Boris Johnson :love:


president suits him better than prime minister too

Given how much use it's gotten this past year, upgrading it is an okay idea

I don't think anyone much begrudges the concept of it being upgraded, but that's not a multi-million pound upgrade...

better Russian-UK relations

FINALLY :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

Total waste of millions of pounds in my view, sorry.

Ah, I hadn't realised it had cost so much... in that case, I'd have expected it to not look like they got some blue rolls of paper and haphazardly placed them

it's not just a room :laugh:

There is all sorts of communications equipment and facilities that will be used by journalists to report from there. It's shocking I know, but equipment does cost money

Indeed.
On QT last night, it was near unanimously considered to have been a total unnecessary expense from public funds at this time.

:facepalm:

I reckon that TV is a Samsung refurb fitted by Parmy and he's pocketed a cool £1million.

They should bin those chairs and replace them with these badboys - really complete the aesthetic :laugh:

the value for money aspect of it can only surely be measured against the quality of the output that comes from it. If it's a propaganda outlet, well it's not worth the money. If it allows us to hear accurate news without having it manipulated by dodgy tabloids then it will be of benefit. Time will tell.

It's a waste no matter what comes out of it.

How will that have anything to do with how much they spent on it? They could output accurate good quality news from Boris' garage!

the value of anything can only be measured by what it produces, and as we have no reference yet as to what the quality of this will be, we can't possibly know yet. I have to say that i am personally skeptical, but I will judge it after its up and running, not before

:clap1:

Own up Parm

That Screen is LG
not Samsung.

Tiny name centre two letters.

Sorry what does the fancy new stage have to do with what news comes out of it?

What the after school detention is going on

Am I hearing correctly .. that Prime Minister David Cameron who is an advisor for a failed and unscrupulous finance company put pressure on his ex political allies to bail the firm out before it collapsed.. using tax payers money ?

The money didn't go on a tin of blue paint and a few chairs. The technical set-up will be mind-boggling.

Look at poor Henry even he seems to be disgusted by it. He’d rather look at the wall instead of posing for a picture.

Boris Johnson is expected to give a briefing
from the room on Monday.
