The biggest problem with the social infrastructure in the UK, and possibly western world, is our love of the celebrity. Fuelled by the media. When someone can explain to me why a footballer should be paid more than a senior exec of a medium to large organisation in the UK then I might just start to get the celebrity culture. I have no problem with top sportsmen and women being paid a premium for what they do and the sacrifices they have to make to reach to top of their game, but it is , and has been for many years now, out of hand. If you go into any school in the UK and ask the pupils what they want to be, many will tell you that they want to be a celebrity and appear on Love Island or Big Brother. Celebrity is not a career option.
Rant over (for now)
