if I see anymore of these fuckin adverts going on about Abooboo having to walk 5 miles with a bucket on her head to get water for the village, build the village next to the water for fucks sake, can`t they teach them that in this day and age

They had to choose between building the village next to water or a Greggs.

This is very poor patter Mr Butt.

Sick of the constant send 3 quid for this and that, why hasn`t somebody suggested to these tribe people to build the house next to the life source, common sense ain`t it

I sent one of these adverts the fiver they were asking for, big mistake! I was plagued be phone calls for weeks asking for more and a direct debit. In the end I blocked their number.

I also got calls from other charities. Once you donate they put you on a mugs list and share the data.

My Mum is 90and lives alone, she has been plagued the last six months by cold calling between 6pm and 8pm, signed up for 3 in the last 4 weeks, she has mild dementia and only when my sister calls in the mornings does she find out!
She has a no cold calling sticker on the door, these bastards are ruthless, they get paid for every mug who signs up and cancelling it is a mare also, they should be fingered by an elephant

This has been known to be the cure to World famine for years, just move to 'tribe' near the water it's that simple but Lenny Henry has bribed government officials in um bongo land to keep quiet so he can at least still get on the telly every two years and do shit comedy. I read it on Facebook from the same Britain First people that first told us about Muslamic ray guns. Of course being an ignorant gullible stupid c unt I liked and shared this immediately. At least people like you are trying to expose the truth, it's corruption from people like Lenny Henry that's stopping you winning the Nobel peace prize. They are also trying to hide the fact that African Elephants have fingers the filthy bastards.


(What Nottingham said)

I donated to charity once, I get loads of spam mail ever since but now and again they have a free pen in the envelope, these are worth opening.

Made me laugh that Butters

Typical of your comments but spot on

Oh be quiet thrush

Spot on, Mr Butt. I am sick sore and tired of these calls. The net result is that I have now adopted the position of giving nothing to this constant pestering. My favourite charity is the RNLI and, despite giving to them regularly, they have never ever pestered me. Therefore they will continue to enjoy my support. I used to have a direct debit to support the NSPCC but they were never satisfied and pestered the life out of me. They now get sod all.

I only give to one charity, I sponsor a horse with World Horse Welfare (apart from all the dodgy ones I sponsor on a Saturday afternoon at Newmarket) they are a fantastic charity, not only rescuing neglected and abused horses and ponies and wherever possible prosecuting the owners and rehoming the animals once they are back to full health, but also providing education and equipment around the world for people in less well off places who rely on horses for work and transport etc. They also run some excellent campaigns including trying to stop the transport of horses for slaughter over long distances in inhumane conditions.

In all the years that I've been supporting them I've never had one phone call asking for more money, I get an update on the horse I sponsor four times a year and an excellent newsletter/magazine four times a year as well as a gift catalogue at Christmas and an occasional letter with an update on their various campaigns. I can only assume they don't pass on your details to anyone else as I've never had cold calls from any other charities.

750 million people have no access to clean/safe/water
800,000 people a year die from water related disease

There can't be any people left in the villages, there all headed for Europe !

Not sure it'll help for any already signed up to but to opt out of future telemarketing calls register her number at www.tpsonline.org.uk/

There is also mpsonline stops the junk mail and you can contact the Royal Mail to stop all the advert stuff the postie delivers.
Telephone and Mailing takes about 3 months to stop calls and mails although I got the occasional call but all you do is mention tps and they hang up.

Surely that's an issue for overseas aid budgets. It's not like we don't donate enough to it.

Oh my. Sometimes people's ignorance is literally breathtaking. Villages are obviously built next to the nearest water supply, but they have these things you won't have heard of called drought, which means that the water supply dries up.
The majority of people in this country are decent, intelligent and compassionate. However there is a loud and very stupid minority, peddling utter vile rascist tripe like this. Beyond contempt.

What did happen to the 'big society'? We were told that cuts were not going to hurt, because third sector organisations, the private sector, and good old philanthropy would fill the gaps. You're trying to have it both ways; it's not the job of government, and it's not the job of civil society. In other words, NMP. If that's what you think, at least be honest about it.

Big society, philanthropy, who told you that by the way?

Hardly NMP. I'm personally contributing £140 a year through income tax to the overseas aid budget.

You know my point. As a result of austerity, we have been told that there are lots of collective things we would like to do are no longer possible, because of the deficit. At the same time, the Tories told us that everything would be alright because the Big Society (ie, charity and volunteering) would fill the gap. Unless we're prepared to do either properly, then it really is a case of NMP.

Now now, Mr I........don't start bringing relevant facts to the table. What we're supposed to do is to succumb to the harassment that these so called "collectors" bring, and just ignore the way they treat our elderly, vulnerable and frightened friends and relatives.
Most of us give to charity in one form or another, why can't they just accept that. I don't mind if they want to bring the plight of the people in various parts of the world to our attention through the media etc. What I object to is the constant harassment of our elderly and vulnerable. The only way to stop them is to show them that their tactics are actually having a negative effect on their fundraising.
The British people give freely, always have and always will.

There are a lot of things, that should be paid by taxation that charities are asking for which essentially makes it another tax. I agree incidentally that Osborne is is severally liable along with Gordon Brown and no doubt a whole host of previous chancellors.

I just get pissed off when stuff that we pay tax for is given over to charities to deal with. Help for Heroes for example. Building private hospitals for veterans!!! How is that down to charity and not taxation? Now we have every disease under the sun doing an advert when that should be covered by investment, be it public or private. Even the friggin lottery is replacing funding that should be paid from taxes.

Mr I what is your stance on Help For Heroes? I've heard some bad things from one of their suppliers about how they spend the vast sums of money donated to them.

I have always given to the British Legion as they helped my grandad out loads.

You do realise that you sound like a socialist there?

I know. I'm a powderpuff Tory. I don't like Cameron and detest Osbourne but I still get a semi on when I think of the Baroness - even in her current state I'd fancy her!

I wouldn't give H4H a penny. Not a Farthing.

Huge salaries for the directors and too close in cahoots with government of whatever colour rosette. They are a marketing exercise with a form letter saying 'sod off' if you are a veteran of any conflict prior to 9/11.

Besides, I firmly believe that the charity pot is finite. What goes to them does not go to the British Legion, Blesma, St Dunstans etc.

Agreed on that Mr I, unfortunately they've done very well with their marketing which have had a negative effect on other forces charities. It's the fashionable charity, two words not meant to go together.
