Just want to get this off my chest. Judge me however you like.
Im absolutely sick of people asking me for money. I buy a poppy out of respect for my great granddad who is now deceased, and for all the others who went to war even if they didn't want to, for all the loved ones who lost their loved ones and all the tradegy in it all.
I also sometimes donate to the air ambulance. They do an amazing job at saving lives. As do the RNLI and the ambulane service.
What does my head in though is all these people collecting for charities and trying to make you feel guilty for not giving. The country is in a financial mess due to greedy people. We need to minimise foreign leakage. Also the way big companies spend millions on sponsorship keeping the richest people rich. I mean to some degree its good because some sports need cash but at the end of the day we are all paying for it as consumers and too much is being given out.
It is a shame that the people in Africa are starving but theyre avoiding the real problem that the world is over populated and they are living in an inhospitable place!
I certainly don't have all the answers. I do have a child and family too took after, I do have a house and a car to run and at the end of the day I don't love my job. I go to work to get paid for money for what matters to me.
Does anyone agree with me or am I just turning into a grumpy old man lol?
