I don't give to children in need.......

[Jeza]

Maybe I'm wrong but the money raised that goes foreign is mainly creamed off to line the pockets of dictators.
I do give to the local hospice.
I sponsor a tiger
and a snow leopard.
I don't think I'm unfeeling, just realistic.

Give it a rest Joe, you're just making an utter tool of yourself now...

[rabet]

Perhaps, but I know what Joe is getting at ~ I saw a chap sitting in a doorway last week with a sign saying "Hungry and Homeless"; he was drinking premier lager and texting on an i-phone. I call myself a liberal and vote Labour but this did annoy me.

[woofgang]

well he wasn't saying hungry homeless and broke was he?

[Mamyalynne]

There will always be 'some' but infuriates me to read of 'all' then modified to 'most'.

As regards JL , am with NOX

[woofgang]

going back to the OP, I think Jeza kind of has a point. Its like the poppy police. People start to judge on what people "should or should not" join in with and there is a kind of social pressure to do the pyjamas at work, phone in and pledge, put a red nose on the car and so on. TBH what people give to charity is nobody else's business.....

[owdhamer]

I agree 100 per cent.

[jno]

woofgang's quite right. I never wear a poppy, because there's just no way I'm going to walk the streets with a sign saying "I Give To Charity". What charities you support, and how much, are entirely your own business. Don't let yourself feel pressured into any of them.

Owd....you old rascal!!! The girls were worried. How you doing? x

[owdhamer]

Dog rough gness,taking it easy.love you all.

[ELVIS68]

Haven't read all the posts but I don't give to Children In Need either.

But ironic really that the BBC still do this after all the stuff they've swept under the carpet

[MASS1961]

I think it's worth it.
