Not sure if this is a serious proposal. But why stop at £100M? Let's also jail people with more than £200M.
I think that people with > £200m are included in the set of people with >£100m.
Also reminds me of the harm done to society by allowing idiots to publish articles like this.
It’s kind of a fun game to take a random topic and argue how it harms society. You have to add arbitrary rules though or it’s too easy.
