In which multi-millionaire, Jamie Oliver complains about losing public funding

Yes folks, the very rich celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver is moaning about local councils withdrawing funding for his Jaimie's Ministry of Food projects in Bradford and Rotherham:

The 42-year-old chef maintains projects he set up in cities and towns, including Bradford and Rotherham, were ultimately to address Britain’s obesity crisis, improve nutrition and encourage healthy meals for the younger generation, but added they were difficult to implement because of an “erratic” approach to funding from the public sector.

Now, leaving aside whether these projects actually do any good, if Oliver is so keen to promote his particular brand of fussbucketry, why on earth doesn't he dip into his own substantial bank account to do so? Why expect the council tax payers of Bradford to cough up?

Not sure this is about Brexit

Although we can rest assured that people will say that it is:

Realtors who thought that London’s luxury-home market would be kick started by the pound’s fall after the Brexit referendum are being left disappointed.

Sales of houses and apartments in the U.K. capital’s best districts rose less than 0.5 percent in the three months through September from a year earlier, according to data compiled by researcher Lonres. That’s based on transactions for existing homes and new properties being sold on by speculators.

This is a report about the top end of the housing market - homes on the market at £5m or more. Seems to me that if you're a footloose Anywhere Man or Woman then you've quite a choice as to where you spend the £5m or so you've got for a house. From Shanghai and Tokyo to Dubai or Singapore those Asian billionaires have a growing choice and there's also the US options or even places in Europe. And this is before we consider country piles or Tuscan villas.
