Ah, not nowhere. All that hardware to be manufactured by people making a

ditto card makers, ditto ink... oh I can't be bothered. £3bn doesn't just go
nowhere, it's spent on things and services, all of which keep the world busy
and what goes round comes round.

I would prefer my contribution to the £3bn to go towards building and
staffing a new hospital or school or improving access to NHS funded
dental treatment (or similar, I'm sure you get the idea) where it
would not only boost employment in the manner you describe, but also
have a real benefit to society.
