They really do live in a different world, don't they? So ignorant that they can utter a statement like that.

Later he "admits he was being facetious".

Well thats OK then.

My opinion is that he is ripe for being a candidate in paying more taxes.

Personally, and this won’t surprise some, I think it’s utterly immoral! No one needs that amount of money!

Like most of us ,this month is the first month when we see the full amount of the rise in our pensions, both state and work etc.
I have been balancing the amount with the rises In Utilities, council tax, water and sky.
It leaves very little over and I am aware that for some it will leave none at all.
Then I read a news item about a British billionaire, Nick Candy, bemoaning the fact that the service charge on his London apartment is … £3000.. a week.
Also that he doesn’t even live in it, he lives in a £75million mansion somewhere in the country.
The apartment is for sale for many many millions, I can’t recall exactly how many.
I just can’t comprehend it, but a wry laugh is all I could conjure up.
