Quote Of The Month

Catherine Tyley has some words of advice for the protesting youth:
For people who genuinely respect democracy and didn’t get the result they had hoped for, that is unfortunate, but that is the way our democracy works. If you are genuinely concerned about the welfare of the most disadvantaged in society, why not start donating to a local charity, or volunteering at a charity shop, a shelter, or a food bank? If you are religious your local Church/Mosque/place of worship will be able to point you in the direction of one, or if you would rather not approach a religious institution there is also the Trussell Trust who run food banks up and down the country. Why not stop telling people that they hate the poor, and actually start helping instead?

  1. But you don't get publicity for actually quietly doing something, and there's little chance to smugly show off your right-on PC ethos...

  2. Yup, as usual with today's mini-narcissists, it's all about THEM.
