Money for nothing

National-Lottery-logo.jpgManchester United, the second richest football club in the world, have received £30,000 of lottery money to fund fitness training for staff.

When they pay the likes of Rio Ferdinand £120,000 per week you would think thirty grand was a drop in the ocean for them, but is shows what a joke the National Lottery has become.

It was meant to supply money to ‘good causes’, groups and organizations that couldn’t get money from regular sources but since Labour came to power they’ve used it to pay for things like health, education and the environment, areas that we already pay tax for.

It’s also incredibly pc in what it hands out money to. St Paul’s Cathedral was turned down for lottery money for restoration because it wasn’t ‘inclusive’ enough.

If you wanted to set up a community centre for gay Somali asylum seekers the Lottery would be falling over themselves to drop a bundle of cash in your lap.
