Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Please braveheart, no political discussions, that is the sort of thing that gets this thread closed down.

And another point, we know several people that you would call super rich, they are clients of ours. We have (accidentally) seen papers that prove how much they give to charity, they just don't shout about it.

Don't judge when you don't know the facts.

And that is the last I will say about it.

These Ultra rich people may hide behind "It isn't illegal", maybe not, but in my opinion POSITIVELY immoral and selfish.

Look at Lewis Hamilton's jet. £3 million VAT refund for a plaything? Let me think.... an average overworked nurse earns say £25,000 a year. £3,000,000.00 divided by £25,000.00 = 140 nurses. How many lives might have been saved or improved if he paid his FAIR share.

You have people who have little enough for themselves and sharing what they have with others and the super rich not even walking the same street, they are flying overhead drinking champagne and wearing their bling.

People do not know the financial arrangements of the people that are being criticised, for example Lewis Hamilton does not even live in this country so why should his arrangements be relevant to this?

The Queen does not deal with her own investments.

And that is the last I am saying on this, it really is.

I would give a lot more to charity if I did not have to pay my fair share of tax.
Of course you can’t reply as it’s the last you will say about it.
