Just a thought.

[Ally B]

I was thinking the other day about the sorry state brought upon Britain by the virus..Lack of equipment,people losing jobs, many getting no money. Would it not be nice if the multitude of milllionaires in this country would put £10,000 into a fund to help pay to ease the burden the country has now. £10,000 is but a drop in the ocean if you have millions and it would go a long way to help out.The money these people have was probably made in this country so why not share your wealth in this time of need. The multi millionaires like Rod Stewart,Gordon Ramsay, David Beckham to name but a few could well afford to chip in with a million, when you have money like they have it would not be missed after all Britain is where their career started with people buying their music ,concert tickets,cook books,match tickets merchandise.They all seem to be happy to come back to Britain when it suits them and earn some more money. I know it will never happen but I have got it off my chest and I will go now and queue to get some milk.

A fine thought. Sadly the multi millionaires are mainly looking to make another 10k out of all this rather than donate it.

Very well said and true words Ally B   

[KKOB]

They didn't become multi-millionaires by giving away the odd £10k.

[TOSH TOSH]

And Yes scunner you are probably right   

[peter16]

Better to choose the likes of Branson, Dyson and Green etc. all of whom have made their money in UK but pay no taxes in UK. While we at it we could also ask the  Non-Dom owners of our so called patriotic newspapers who also pay no taxes  and our multi millionaire MPs (Rees-Mogg for instance). If they were to actually pay their fair share of taxes back to the UK it could perhaps better fund the likes of the NHS,

[TOSH TOSH]

And yes KKOB you are definitely right !!

[Highlander]

People donating funds to help those less fortunate than themselves - what a splendid idea.      

[BernieTeyze]

Talking of which am I supposed to be giving you money H or is it put off until the national runs?
Thanks

No rush at all Bernie - the BBC are running a virtual race on 4th April so we can make payment arrangements thereafter.

And of course that gives us some time to have all the numbers taken       .
