The UK is in record levels of debt, people are using food banks and the NHS under attack from both industry and government. This would definitely be a good use of public funds. Priorities?
- tim333 9y agoMany of the above problems are down to stupid decisions by the government. Consider the effort to change the football as an attack on stupid in general. You never know - get the math correct on footballs today and they may get it right real issues tomorrow.
