I must admit, I am becoming tired of all these shows, adverts and so on.... raising money for charities.
It seems that every organisation relies on charities nowadays, why? Britain is a rich country that can afford millions on hosting the Olympics, millions given away to Africa and others, millions to big organisations evading taxes, millions on consultancies fees for nothing and so on......so why can't the country spend the same amount of money on those who need it the most: research for cures, deprived families, orphan children etc.....Where do our taxes go? Why do those in power do nothing to help those who need it the most? Why do we have to rely on charities and the public to support them?
Don't get me wrong, I am not criticising charities as they do a good job and actually care about their ethos.
I just can't understand why a rich country like this one is just happy to let charities do what the country itself should be doing.
