How much to follow, follow?

I DO not deny Amanda Baker’s description of our country, with its cost-of-living crisis, people unable to afford to heat their homes, and families sinking into poverty and debt (letters, May 20).

I cannot, however, reconcile this with the ability of a reported 50,000 Rangers supporters to up and off to Seville at considerable expense. Not many appeared to come from the upper echelons of society.

I watched one young man blithely explain on television that he had just had to fork out another four hundred euros for a flight from Barcelona. I think twice about spending four hundred euros. Can someone explain?
