It makes no sense to say the Government has no money. It all comes down to how it wishes to spend the people's money and the priorities it develops? Do you want to enhance the public's welfare or do you want to build a maco stadium? It is also important to respect the bargaining process. You do not march into ongoing negotiations and say "this is all you would get" after you selected a negotiator. Such outbursts suggest you are not negotiating in good faith. Today, everyone "is big man and woman." Respecting our personhood, process, and the evidence of history are always the better guide to conducting the people's business, whether you are a Christian or a Muslim; or a woman who happens to be Hindu. The country has already made its verdict about how it feels about a Hindu woman. We have elected her to the highest office in the land. Anything to the contrary is an insult to the country. Jack should apologise to the country for his mischaracterisation of the police's motive. Anything less is unworthy of him.
