Just as it's easy for that little old lady to done £1, because compared to the money she had she can more than afford to lose just £1.

With basic state pension 122 a week she may have all of £10 a week left over as disposable income

so she gives 10% to charity (for example)

the rough equiv of sheeran putting his hand in his wallet and donating 6 million quid

now I am sure he may give money to charity as part of a tax plan and as part of his PR but id wager he aint done that

the point is the little old lady CANT afford to give but she does
