There is that too. I just think it is a bit naff for CEO of charities dealing with people in really shit situations get paid a lot of money for it. But charities do wonderful work. When I lived in a house my water rates bill used to be £350 a year but they always enclosed a leaflet from some charity or other telling me that for £2 a month I could supply an entire African village with water. Perhaps the blighters over there have not worked out the privatisation thing yet.

Which brings me nicely back to the point about redirecting money can be a good thing!

To be fair the fees are quite high so one could understand some people may wish to seek subsidies if the kid is too thick to get a scholarshit.
Its only fair.

It would be a damn site cheaper to charge vat and taxes, then the gov could sponsor kids with real ability rather than those that seem to think pronouncing some strang foreign guy/woman from mythical/ancient history is important...

Ah, this bint
'In AD 60, the Romans had been in Britain for about 17 years. Roman Britain continued until the early fifth century. This is one of the occasions where Rome might have actually been driven back across the sea. That’s really why she’s famous. When you look at the Roman past, Boudica is really the only rebel, if you want to use that term, who came close to doing that.'
Did she burn her bra?

Maybe her expression of hatred has enabled her to change her identity from that with which she grew up to an identity that has heightened her profile and enabled her to benefit from the contributions to her charity from well meaning citizens and charitable donors such as National Lottery. There are many similarities to Camilla Batmanthingy who was eventually found out with her Kid's Company from which she garnered a very substantial lifestyle. Whilst an 83 year olds comments were gauche, they have been surpassed by the 'abuse' described by someone who has fostered her heritage status for her own ends. I expect that whilst the press is still free, someone somewhere will dig the skeletons out of her cupboard. Do you find it in any way troubling that your reply in no way answers my question or supports your original statement in any way? Not particularly. It may be the politics of envy or radicalisation by forces determined to demolish the whole British Constitution for whatever reason they may have. There is an established hierarchy within the country that is gradually being eroded or devolved and the new King appears to be adapting his family to reflect that movement. Yes, the Royals are rich, so are pop stars and footballers. I personally cannot understand why it is possible to have a Black Police organisation when if one wanted to set up a White Police body it would not be allowed. We can have an award ceremony for music of black origin, but white people don't celebrate such narrowness of their own identity. It is noticeable that other etnicities who have been welcomed into our country over the years have integrated into society without having felt the need to exclusivity. I'm thinking Irish, Poles and the Kenyan Asians and similar. It is noticeable that such immigrants or their descendants are now subjected to the vitriol from the current woke brigade who are agitating at every opportunity Then again, now that White British is a minority group in the larger cities, maybe the worm will turn.

I insist on calling her "Bow-dah-see-ah". Much like I insist on calling tortoises "tor-tusses" and not this ridiculous "tor-toy-zis" thing. They can change the pronounciation of this stuff when I'm dead.

There's no arguing with blind hate. I suggest you head for the hills and start prepping.
