No Mention of Inflatable Pig...
David Gilmour, the Pink Floyd guitarist, unveils plans today to spend the £3.6 million he raised from the sale of his London home to fund an "urban village" for the homeless.
The money will be administered by Crisis, the charity for the homeless, to create a village modelled on the Times Square hotel in New York, where an abandoned building was converted into a community for low-paid workers.
The London scheme will house 400 low-income key workers and former vagrants. Crisis hopes that similar projects can be replicated across Britain.
It is nice to see that members of ‘my’ generation have a more than a few brain cells left. And heart strings. This beats buying his own untaxable Carribean island.
