    Maybe Amazon and Google could pay a little tax now and then?

    Oh no, that could never work.

      So who should fund it then?

      In ideal world it would be people with kids in school.

      The real scandal in this is that there are lots of people in this country who can’t afford to keep their kids fed - like fking 3rd world, that’s the real scandal.

          Yes, because if we tax them, they will just leave the country, and then where will we be?

            Caroline Ansell (Tory MP for Eastbourne) has resigned over it. Strangely enough the Torygraph and Wail don't consider it a worthy story yet.
            She hasn't resigned as an MP though, has she?

              I would, but my money is kind of tied up at the moment, you know, I want to help, do my bit, but what can I do?

                  The real scandal is that there are people provided with adequate resources by the state who don't feed their kids.

                      Imagine if they left, no Facebook to post nonsense, you had to use another search engine or buy stuff from some other online retailer?
