Wonderfulforhisage. Dont forget this is the modern caring Conservative Party.

I agree with the comparison made. It is a bigger macro point in the priorities in society. A footballer is worth more than a nurse for their talent.

If the messaging in this blog article does not make you step back and think for a moment then you are a pretty cold hearted bastard.

Sorry for offtopic, but I learnt this morning that tube drivers’ starting salary is £40K – http://www.empirechronicles.co.uk/2009/06/11/tube-drivers-starting-salary-40000/ And they get 43-day holiday. Which means they hardly every work anyway.

As for Ronaldo, well, I presume both ManU and Real are privately owned, so it was a business deal between two companies. And it’s the Spaniards who pay, so basically this £80M comes into British economy.
