yes, that would be a concern (but also don't want to be a white saviour, sprinkling one-off largesse). Very challenging to do ethical visits to poorer countries or countires with massive inequalities, which benefit the right people.

I did do a visit to a charity which looks after children living by the railways, offering education and housing, some years ago. It did not feel too much like poverty tourism and kids seemed genuinely pleased to meet us. (Also charity has kept in touch and invites me to events). But agree often bad.

it's an intriguing idea but why not just combine tax and NI into one payment levied on all income? No one is quite sure what NI pays for nowadays and could also address some of the cliff edges within the system by introduci8ng graduated increases as income rises.
