How much is this behaviour, shoving it in the face of the ‘have nots’?
It really is disgraceful, IMHO.
They may, so why not highlight that as well, se we can see the good they may do?

It will be an investment that may or may not pay off in the future.We live in a world where there are those with enormous wealth and those with no wealth at all - there are far more obscene inequalities in this world to get worked up about than someone investing £2.7m on a bottle of whisky.

I quite like MacCallen whisky but woulkdn't pay $2.7m for a bottle even if I could afford it! Does seem. a bit crazy by any standard. I actually prefer whiskey to whisky anyway.0

People can spend their money on whatever they want.Or:Couples who live in a 3 bed home despite being only them living there, pricing out a family - obscene
paying big money for a car that is not allowed to go more than 70mph when you could get a different car for fraction of same price - obscene
50 quid for a tee shirt when can get pack of 3 for a tenner down supermarket- obscene0 -

It really is disgraceful, IMHO.If anyone has a large amount of money to donate to charities, they’re not just gonna close their eyes and stick a pin in a list of them!I’m not sure your argument has any legs!Of course there are a lot of grease monkeys out there but I doubt it’s that difficult to ensure any donation is going to the appropriate charities.0 -

if you have spare cash at the end of the week, what percentage do you give to charity?
it’s not a question I want to know the answer to, because what people want to do with their money is their choice. You spend money going to Charlton, this person spends it on expensive whisky.1 -
Let's face it, if you can afford to spend $2.7m on a bottle of whisky you are absolutely loaded and the money means nothing to you. It's probably the equivalent of one of us buying a bottle of Jack Daniel's.
Plus their whisky will likely increase in value. The JD definitely won't.0 -

Is it moral for you and me to spend £25 on a Charlton ticket when we could both donate that £25 to buy a water purification kit and potentially save a child’s life in Africa?What is the tipping point between moral and immoral, and who does it apply to?7 -

I could go on for ever in response but your views are laughable claptrap.
Take your example of tee shirts, what's better? A Sunspel made in the UK from 100% supima cotton for £85 that will last for ages? Or some cheap piece of polyester crap made in Indonesia by an unfortunate child in a sweat shop that will fall apart in a few months? If we all followed your example, the UK fashion industry employing 800,000 people and pulling in £26bn a year would be dead in the water. Taking with it the UK being the world's largest educator in fashion with 6 of the world's leading 20 fashion universities. And all the money from international students that brings in.
Your ideas, if imposed on the rest of us, would destroy the economy but that would be okay wouldn't it?
