    people who give to charities but dont give to beggars dont see the similarities

    the area manager for say oxfam is on over £50k a year

    some charities keep as much as 97p out of every pound for 'administration' costs

    yet they get cheaper rent rates, cheaper gas and elctric too in some cases

    Dont forget their special tax status which some obvious non charities scandalously use to their advantage

    thers loads of other stuff that people dont know/see

    eg, i had a bit of experience with the disabilty charity David Beckham used to run. It was administered by his family who were paid
    most people saw him as a rally good guy etc etc, and i suppose for those that it helped I understand it

    When he left UTD and moved abroad, the charity stopped. Basically it was for tax purposes.

    you do realise that in most cases its 'volunteers' who do the good work right?

    or do you believe the chief exec or ceo on £80k or whatever is hands on?

    did you see that documentary on car insurance?

    Its the insurance companies and these ****ers that have driven premiums through the roof

    yet blame uninsured drivers/young drivers etc

    a solicitors fee of £200 can be as much as £2500k for one claim of say whiplash

    and the insurance companies themselves push the agenda

    I watched the documentary on Romanian beggars. Un-be-feckin-lievable! the dirty b*stards were "earning" more in a day that I earn in a week. And if they aren't getting it given to them the sly little sods are dipping pockets and handbags too. Once told a dirty faced sprog to F-off for trying to beg from me on the Tube, got nothing but filthy looks from the cardigan wearing middle class tourist types. I hope they saw where all there generous donations are going, namely gaudy christmas cake looking pikey palaces in Romania.

    Just finished listening to a show on radio here in London where they were debating why kids are going to school stinking, dirty, in filthy clothes and starving hungry. A caller phoned to say it shouldn't be allowed because even on benefits you can afford to clean, feed and clothe your family. She went on to list the benefits she got, rent paid, cheaper poll tax, child benefit, child tax credits etc and reckoned she got £250 per week in benefits. That is £1000 in your hand a month. THAT is more that I have left after putting a roof over my family's head.

    What a mug, I might as well pimp out the wife, send the kids out begging and sit outside Greggs with a "Hungry and Hopeless" sign, at least that way some soft c*nt will give me a cup of tea and a steak bake.

    It's simple. If everyone stops giving money to beggars, then pretty soon there will be no beggars.

    That's not to say that the homeless issue will be solved, but at least we'll be rid of the professional beggars.

    Apparently that **** knows Pete Doherty. Ask him about it sometime. I'm not even on the wind-up here, I was away so see a Babyshambles gig a while back and I got told a likely story by the boy. I'm fairly sure it's the same **** you're talking about <ok>
