Twenty six million in profits so far this year , On top of this Banks are making millions  , Austerity for  some but not the share holders of these rip off merchants .

Billion, Cuttsie..... 26 Billion.

Just to put it into context, suppose you could put aside £100 a week, every single week.

You never need to dip into it, for any reason.

You just keep banging it in the mattress, week after week...

How long before you're a millionaire?

Well, I've got bad news for you.....

No matter how old you are today, you'll be dead before you get there.

192 years and 4 months is your answer.

 

 And that's for "just" a million.

Imagine a billion!

1000 million....

Shell are a somewhat bigger entity than a single individual, with worldwide operations.

26 billion , that could feed the World  from Somalia to Ethiopia , from the food kitchens in our City to the shop door sleepers on High Street , some thing not right in the Worlds thinking and greed system .

I sympathise,  I really do,  but it's the rich ones who are providing the wherewithal - remember the brain drain,  we can't afford that again.

Yes but it's the poor man who is providing the Labour that's  making these people rich.

How much do Apple make, maybe they will feed the world, if we ask them nicely.

That is why the poor man and his wife, both get a vote on which political party to elect. That party then sets the tax rate.

Small percentage of rich,  and they aren't all Tories/toffs.  They have built up their businesses and sometimes they have come from poor backgrounds.

Mr Putin has nearly as much, if we ask him nicely we could all be rich.

So could the wealth accumulated by most of the cultish God botherers and their deluded worshipers.  So could the wealth accumulated by most governments.  Go crying to them.

 

Businesses are there to make money not feed the world.
