I also happen to think that she's worked her butt off to get where she is and if she is earning £3.5m and paying 7 figure taxes then that's more than enough recompense. I think Asbo hit the nail on the head above. All IMHO of course
And that is the beauty of being able to pull up a comfy chair in front of the virtual fire at the Malvern Arms : we discuss points of view on a subject and do not have to agree on the outcomes of those discussions.
Don Valley is closing; Jess Ennis has complained about this. Jess will "earn"/be sponsored to the tune of upto "£3.5m", so would in theory be in a position to be a very large benefactor to Sheffield CC/DVS; the Tax Man will benefit from Jess's large earnings, as long as her "accountant" has not set up JessEnnis plc in the Bahamas (or wherever - I'm not a financial expert, never will be
). What I am saying is that IF you are in a position to help out financially in a cause that truly affects you, surely there is a moral duty to do so and not just moan about it?
And this is NOT a personal crusade against Jess whom, as I said in my opening statement "has worked incredibly hard since the age of 10" : if Wayne Rooney were to find Manchester Rovers in difficulty (if not owned by some Americans - don't get me started
) it would be nice to think that he (or any equivalent overpaid-for-what-they-do footballer) would offer the team some financial help from his multi millions. Wont happen of course because the world is not the lovely place I would like it to be (
-9
-land).
But at least the Arms allows me to spread my thoughts with a wider audience than just
and to receive counter arguments from people whose opinions I respect
"Another pint please barman"
