Why not simply sell the property and move the Ambassador into the Embassy?
The answer: Politicians are the New Class. They live the life of aristrocrats paid for by public funds. Nice.

It's going to cost £8 million pounds sterling
to bury Maggie Thatcher.
Not an awful lot of digging involved there.
This was gardening for just one Ambassador. I wouldn't want to know how much the US wastes every year on this kind of stuff. This doesn't even take into account expenses like alcohol.
But yes, we bury our political leaders with all the trappings of royalty of old. Why is it that people don't see it?

Hello, I am the Ambassador of the Rumpy Pumpy islands.
Champagne? Splendid. All on the expense account is it?
Excellent. Bring in another crate. Where are the dancing girls?
We have to meet them. It is my mission to promote cultural ties.

If you aren't rich, find rich people who will put you in office. Just be sure you do what they want so that you can stay there. Nice system we have here isn't it.

Garden........dead body........they could solve this whole ordeal rather cheaply and, at the same time, make the garden the most fertile the world has ever known!!
