Summary: <p>“Was the pollution caused, and costs incurred by staging a four day Platinum Jubilee celebration, justified, due to it being a special occasion?”</p> <p>Stuart and William take a deep dive into the above question, sent in by listener Trevor in Wood Farm, Oxford, England.</p> <p>During this discussion they set out some strong challenges for you the listener to consider.</p> <p>Was this public celebration event really that good for morale generally? Was it a wise move to celebrate the platinum jubilee when people are struggling? Are some events more important than others? Was it justified to have a four day platinum jubilee? There was a large display of jets in a flyover, and it was a huge event, but did it really bring people close together?</p> <p>What is the long term effect, the legacy of this event? It’s easy to go out there, wave flags, sing songs, but is that the only way we can mark these occasions?</p> <p>What do you make of this discussion?
