So where do we draw the line, whilst poverty exists?

Should we find sport? Eisteddfod? Museums? Galleries? Arts? Old buildings? Where should we stop?

The reality is that poverty exists everywhere, esp when measured by the relative poverty. Nearly every famine in the last 80 years or so has occured in s country that made a point of stressing its egalitarian values.

No one can point to any clear benefit of UK being a republic. It's just endless moans and sneering
