Budget for the fireworks was £1.8 million - a surprising amount of that cost is actually stuff like crowd control.
Given the grim economic circumstances of the next few years, money spent on an event like this, offering respite and delight for the hundreds of thousands who attended and the milllions who watched the display.
Arguably the best NY fireworks around the globe, it showcases London.
Given all that, money well spent in my view. I was thoroughly entertained and amazed by the display.

1 Due to all the high rise buildings in London, not very far!
2 a/b. If it stops MP's using it for bogus expenses claims who cares, it makes people feel happy and that is what is needed in times like we are experiencing. As pointed out already it showcases London and acts as a beacon for drawing in tourists which in the long run will be much more beneficial to the economy.
