A billion pounds?

How would you spend a billion pounds in order to do good? You can't spend it on yourself or your friends.

If you'd asked me a few years ago I'd have spent a chunk of it on making a Watchmen TV series - but now there's an actual movie in production that seems a tad pointless :->

I think I'd put half of it into a massive advertising campaign pointing out the huge loss of life/quality of life caused because we subsidise agriculture. And the other half into providing clean water in Africa. Those two things together would massively improve life for some of the poorest people in the world.

I like this idea a lot too.
