Aside from what other (better) things £500k could be spent on it feels a bit premature to be celebrating Brexit before reaping the benefits we’ve been promised.

So your definition of starving involves said starving person actually dying of starvation...because up to that point they are just a bit hungry and should've asked their neighbours for a tin of beans or something.

Righty-ho

There is an immense difference between hungry & starving.
One is life threatening and folk die. Think famines etc.
I don`t doubt some kids go hungry, through no fault of their own, I would look towards the parents and their choices in that situation.
The whole "being born poor defines the rest of your life" particularly grinds with me.
We live in a country of opportunity, but the individual needs to go and get it, it won`t be given to them.
Nobody forces a young person to follow the same path their parents do.

On a conservative "bob" that's just 10,000 people @ 5p each out of 72 million. Clearly "Quasimodo" Boris and his goons didn't reach far into their own pockets! - #sooutoftouch

Imagine how stupid you must feel if you actually donated like £100 only to realise you were in a minority lol - I wonder if they are going to refund or maybe just buy a few bangers and rockets to let off in the Westminster car park. No doubt C4 will be at the foot of Ben when the time comes, recording the silence.

Think this shows just how out of touch he is. ....and meanwhile children starve

what children starve???

TBH it would cost nothing to get someone to whack that bell with a sledgehammer a few times at the said time......
seriously considering going down there on 31st........would be a good pissup like the Brexit demo was
