        He pays taxes( more then most based on how percentages work) , he employs people so they can make a living , they also pay taxes, he makes products that people want. What more are you expecting him to give ?

        It really bugs me when people say “you sing like that and work in Asda”. If we were all singing and dancing celebrities we wouldn’t get a lot done! 😀

        The fact that you even report this illustrates the sheer bias of reporting at the BBC. Let’s promote inmesnise wealth and ignore local http://acheievents.You  are what’s wrong with society!
