I thought the Church collection was for the poor people

BUT I WOZ WRONG!!!

I learnt the other day that the Church of England now has a total of 8.2 Billion Pounds invested in the share markets etc, that's an awful lot of 20 and fifty pence at the collection time in the Church and I always though that this money was for helping the poor and needy??. 

Clearly I was wrong and I get upset when I hear the the Church is criticizing Government for the lack of spending on immigrants and and of  course the poor and homeless.  This 8.2 Billion Pounds is entirely separate for the 2.3 billion pounds put away for pension funds.
They could do a lot of good with only spending 50% of this cash and what do they hope to achieve by leaving it invested when kids are dying on the streets, it beats me. Down right disgraceful I call it.

Anyway we are getting nearer to our next trip with about 9 days before we head of to Gatwick Airport for our first flight to Seattle where we spend a few days before driving up to Vancouver.

Another terror attack in London today, again it would the suspect was known and nothing done whilst over in Sweden in three cities hundred of hooded people set fire to many cars, the world is going mad and it will be interesting to see if they find out who was behind this car firebombing.

Oh well that's enough politics for today and very sad to see about the bridge collapse in Genoa with so many people dead whilst it would appear that two years doubts were raised as to the bridge safety, time will tell what happened.
