So Lineker wants 'rich' people to pay more tax to the 'government'.
My charity of choice is the Hospice in The Weald and they have just sadly announced, that because of the drying up of funds, government support etc., they'll have to close their children's unit.
It's an absolutely heart-breaking decision for all these good people who tirelessly look after such vulnerable, sick and dying children. They were fabulous in looking after my dear Senora, and while I support them when I can, the lack of cash for such a well-run local institution is just disgraceful.
Can I suggest that all these virtue-signalling 'millionaires' could just keep their traps shut, quietly pop a few cheques in the post to good places like my local hospice, and just feel as though they've actually achieved something, not conflated their rather ugly existences.
Hmm - so in effect, Lineker's advice for millionaires who want to use their wealth to make life better for everyone is to flush large amounts of cash down the bureaucratic toilet. He may as well be a politician.
ReplyDeletewhat a comedown from national hero to total shithead.

ReplyDeleteSo how much does Lineker want to.pay in extra tax? A knighthood's worth? A Baronetcy's worth? I think we should be told.

Perfect description of his next stage into dishonour, AK. As most of the money came from a bloated bBC 'salary', it's mainly tax-payers' cash anyway!
ReplyDeleteThud, my friend! Great to hear from you again, and I hope that the new Thud Towers project has proved as successful as your previous Turrets!
ReplyDeleteBut I really do agree with your sentiments - I really do dislike such showing off!
Paul McCartney is hugely better-off, and he quietly donated millions to Rye Hospital with no fuss whatsoever.
Good question, Penseivat...
ReplyDeleteWith someone like Starmer's record of handing out gongs and lordships to undeserving people, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him get a useless chunk of finery - paid for by the tax-payer of course!
