If India lets say gets worse ( if that's possible ) for sure we could be back at square one with a deadly variant meaning present vaccinations are not effective. What about other poorer countries?

    India is seen in my eyes as the next China for lots of manufacturing and already that's happening slowly so Boris is not stupid with trade offs. Look at most of our talented surgeons in this country ( Indian ) as was my own last year with a difficult operation, so again trade offs.

    As for billionaires as you say in any country - nothing will change as without being crude - many amass fortunes on being tight, luck, and being pretty horrible. But are these people any happier in life - NO!

    On another note - hope your daughter is OK and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine!
    Thanks Al, problem is the sun is not very good for her and she’s not improving very much at all, so I have quit my job and will be leaving at the end of the month to have some time off and help

    Also the comment about surgeons, I know plenty of crappy Indian docs as well as other professions and unfortunately a lot of Indians are very money orientated which is part of the issue with the poverty gap in India
    It would be better if they could help themselves

    Sorry is that’s not the binary yes / no you wanted, but few things in life are
    Fine. I didn't have time to read all of your post. No need to apologise. All of the best.

    Sorry to hear that BS. Good on you for taking time off to be with your daughter as your kids are the number 1 priority. Since my own health issues and still on-going family is absolute priority and I rarely work now. Des once said life was for living and he’s so right which is why most millionaires yes are loaded - but have sad and miserable lives.

    Best wishes to you and your family and maybe we can drag you away for a pint at a championship match.

    One MRI was good in that cancer had not reoccurred/progressed but other MRI showed other issues which need even more tests and medication. I will get there as from the encouragement from the board - will give walking football a go. I like the motto even more - life is for living so plan to enjoy myself!

    Wife’s 50th birthday in two weeks so need to put my thinking cap on!

Rather than countries trying to help many countries at once, why don’t each of the top 20 countries be assigned a country to help? So richest nation gets the poorest country, then next richest gets next poorest country and so on. So much better to try organise and straight forward. Anyway, just my view.
    That’s a great idea 💡
