The price of nico-hatred.

And for a change it's in pound and pence, and, thanks to the PFI system, it's also fucking extortionate. The whole thing is the usual litany of waste but this one stood out.

A hospital which charged £52,000 for a job that cost £750. Demolishing a shelter for smokers resulted in the PFI contractor charging £2,600 a year for the “extra cleaning”.

Profit from hatred and denormalisation, eh. Marvellous.
