PhilanthropyI read an article a couple of weeks ago that suggested that bankers might not be such figures of hate if they put their excessive earnings to good use - The Stephen Hester Library, The Fred Goodwin Hospice, etc.
Is philanthropy dead? What happened to employers like John Cadbury who took some social responsibility.
If you had a spare couple of £million, how would you spend it to benefit your fellow man? On the arts? Building hospitals?

If I were a rich manThere is a music venue/arts centre round here that is constantly struggling. It is run by people who love what they do and put on some amazing stuff, usually at a loss.
I would become a benefactor for them - they lost one of their venues due to an unreasonable landlord, so I would buy it back. I would also renovate their other venue.

Too right. The jocks should pay to widen the road.
It will then be easier for them to get to London and work whilst telling us how great Scotland is.

Some MP the other weekreckoned it was still quicker to get to Edinburgh via the M6 and then cutting across, rather than up the A1. This was part of the justification for not upgrading the A1.

I think you'll find it's so that all you peoplefind it easier to leave Scotland to find decent work. Since everyone in Edinburgh works in the tourist industry servicing their colonial oppressors, they don't need to leave.
