Why does this tax exile 'foreigner' think our government should discuss policy with him? He should feck off back to Monaco. Made his choice based on his own interest, to avoid tax. Anything he has to say will be only in his own interests, again.

Freddie Flintoff was a fine cricketer but his real talent is bringing out the best in young people who no-one’s bothered about before.
What a magnificent human being.

Parachute jumps for charity cost more to the NHS than they raise on average according to a 1999 study

Parachuting for charity: is it worth the money? A 5-year audit of parachute injuries in Tayside and the cost to the NHS

Abstract
All parachute injuries from two local parachute centres over a 5-year period were analysed. Of 174 patients with injuries of varying severity, 94% were first-time charity-parachutists. The injury rate in charity-parachutists was 11% at an average cost of
3751 Pounds per casualty. Sixty-three percent of casualties who were charity-parachutists required hospital admission, representing a serious injury rate of 7%, at an average cost of 5781 Pounds per patient. The amount raised per person for charity was 30 Pounds. Each pound raised for charity cost the NHS 13.75 Pounds in return. Parachuting for charity costs more money than it raises, carries a high risk of serious personal injury and places a significant burden on health resources.

The reality is that Wednesday tried to gain an advantage by overpaying players season after season. We didn’t hear any SWFC fans complaining then. I’d never want to see Wednesday or any other club go out of business but spare us the arguments about not punishing fans for the failings of the owner
