...sod off!
If the charidees need money, they should stop lashing it out on lawyers, and cozying up to the regulators against the interests of their own supposed 'members'.
They certainly need to stop thinking they can dig into my pockets if they just get the government onside first.

What really pisses me off about that post is, when Branson bid for the lottery and was offering to give ALL the proceeds (above costs) to charity he was stopped from doing so.
ReplyDeleteI will not give to charities by being forced to do so...they can just fuck off and die!!!
Sod off indeed. I'll not have bloody politicians or anyone else telling me what to give or how much. If they take that line, I'll give nothing.
ReplyDeleteMy money, my choice. Not theirs, not the governments, not ever.
ReplyDeleteI wish.
Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteWhat have I done now?
Many of us already give a large amount of money to 'charity'; just three things on that:
ReplyDelete(i) It's not voluntary.
(ii) Much of it is wasted.
(iii) It's an over-large part of that thing called income tax; certainly much more than 1%.
Best regards

ReplyDeleteYes, one of government's more perverse decisions. I never did see a justificatuion that made any sense...
"If they take that line, I'll give nothing."
Ditto.

"It's an over-large part of that thing called income tax; certainly much more than 1%."
Spot on.
