Open post simply asking the question Is it time to scale back on the charity industry ? Cancer,why not just one charity for that ? C-in-Need today R2 Text £5 to etc,etc and as little as £2.50 from your Fiver could go to C-i-Need,you know where i am coming from. Just an open post.

Children In Need on in the background here.

Within the first 30 seconds the male presenter said, "Terry Wogan signed off his last radio broadcast by saying 'Thank you for being my friend.' The best way you can re-pay that friendship tonight is by giving all you can."

What sort of shitty charity blackmail is that? Can't believe that got through any script conference let alone made it to air.

Crass beyond belief.

We live in a country where too many people exist rather than live, get used to it because there is no way to change things.

its because many people have their own pet project and want to deal with an issue in their own way. it can be about the being seen to do something as much as the doing somthing.
