Extended furlough, half the cost of the earlier meals ( I did not go, could not stand the queue)

Goodness knows how many additional benefits.

We all owe a death, some sooner than others, naturally.

Why don't all the worlds millionaires give vast amounts to the cause.

Maybe our Queen could give a few quid,lol.

The millionaires of this world become that way because they keep their money to themselves- thats how they get to be millionaires!!

Money is strange stuff in that it doesn't really exist; it's just a cunning way of measuring how much useful work you've done. A rich person might have a painting worth £millions but it's only of any value to a person who wants it, so giving it to someone who needs food is only of any use if they can find someone who has food to swap it for. It always fascinates me when something becomes valuable just because it was created by a certain person or belonged to someone "famous".

We have sufficient for our meagre needs. Why do the likes of Kim Kardashian need billions of dollars.
