MORE than £200 million is paid for a footballer, albeit one at the top of his game, while one million children face death by starvation and/or cholera in Yemen.
Even in our own country BBC presenters, notwithstanding ‘gender pay gaps’, are paid ridiculous salaries while more and more people are resorting to food banks.
Not a few parents, I suspect, are going without themselves to provide for their children.
A Martian looking down on our planet could be forgiven for thinking we had all gone completely mad.
