Bilderberg policing could cost millions

UK taxpayers could pay millions of punds for Bilderberg meeting security.

British taxpayers could pay millions of pounds for security costs of next week’s meeting of the secretive Bilderberg Group in Watford, Herfordshire, England.

The meeting of royalty, business chiefs, and prime ministers is planned to take place in Britain for the first time since 1998, The Telegraph reported.

The event has previously sparked anti-capitalist demonstrations in other locations around the world.

Hertfordshire Police are in talks with the UKâ„¢s Home Office about a grant for “unexpected or exceptional costs” to cover security for the event, which is expected to be held at the Grove Hotel in Watford on 6-9 June.

The total cost of providing security for the meeting, whose organizers include Tory Cabinet minister Ken Clarke, is estimated to reach more than one percent of the police force’s overall spend or about £1.8 million.

The invitation-only Bilderberg meetings are attended by some 140 people of influence from North America and Europe.

In 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family at the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeek.

They decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world to debate the future of the world
