The Conservatives are in court at the moment fighting for 8 Million pounds, that was donated to the party in the will of a rich man. His son is contesting the will, he is claiming that his father was 'mentally deluded' at the time he wrote the will. His son may well have a point. The poverty gap is widening; 1% own a 1/4 of all the countries assets, so it's about time that the rich dug into their pockets and gave back some of what they have earned or taken, (depending on your viewpoint) from the people. Come on down Sir Tom Hunter; The Price is Right. Tom is a 'self made millionaire', (today Britain has the highest number of these 'entrepreneurs' in 100 years.) He is proposing to 'invest' a Billion pounds into charity. Well good for you Tom, what do you want; a Blue Peter fuckin' badge. Britain has a history of philanthropy, which only seemed to die down during the greed and selfishness of the Thatcher years, ironically this was when all the money was made. The Blair years saw the continuation and consolidation of this cash. So dig deep and start giving something back, after all the government aren't gonna help redistribute any wealth, so it's up to the 1% to prove that they 'aint just RICH SCUM!
