this is getting ridiculous

National Lottery money is being used to teach unfit accountants how to salsa, Sport England has confirmed. (BBC)

Accountants? Public schools? Manchester United? Sport England says, “We cannot and should not discriminate against a firm based on whether it is perceived to be a wealthy organisation”. Yes, you bloody well should! Ensuring your staff is healthy is a business decision and helps businesses remain more efficient. These people are not lacking in funds, simply in motivation and if a company wants to benefit from healthier staff, then it should jolly well pay for it. Is Sport England implying that the North of England has no needy people who could benefit from Lottery funding? Is helping those who can’t afford helath clubs and salsa classes not making a difference? Is changing the image of accountants really going to make a difference to anyone? Even accountants?

Christ. I think I’ll apply for a Lottery Grant - I could really do with a health club membership. Targeting me would make a big difference. To me.
