    Being that filthy rich wow... If that was me I would pledge between 4 to 5 billion investing in Barnsley (as a gift) without expecting any return but to see the impact on peoples living standards.. Best healthcare possible, massively subsidised public transport, huge cleanup operation.. Development strategy on social housing ot help the most in need... Absolutely no need for anybody to live in poverty or fear growing old without some local scheme in place with a care strategy... Guarantee that should a Barnsley resident want to study at Uni, there would be a small initial grant available with a further payment on the successful completion... Obviously it's all pie in the sky and even a pot of money like 5 billion would eventually dry up, but the legacy from this would put Barnsley on the map and benefit us all.... Might even buy the footy club, all depending on whether Barry guesses my fav biscuit first guess.

    On a similar topic, wonder how much if any tax Murdoch has to pay from the back of this sale?

    From a movie point of view, we might now get X-Men and Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

    That’d be funny, but 60% of those aren’t Disney characters...
