You poor kids should work harder. "Father Christmas promises to visit every well-behaved child on 24 December but it turns out that only the children of high-rolling parents are able to visit him in his Swarovski crystal-encrusted grotto in Harrods. The Knightsbridge department store has been accused of "behaving like the Grinch who stole Christmas" by restricting access to its Father Christmas to customers who have spent at least £2,000 in the 170-year-old shop... ...The store, which is owned by the billionaire Qatari royal family and made a £171m profit last year, has now agreed to allow 160 lower-spending families the chance to visit the grotto." ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |
