I know someone who registered a charity for Ukraine, they haven't a charitable bone in their body, on remand at the moment for an offence not charity related but real scam artists.
If you have time look up some of the charities listed at random and go through their accounts. It is scandalous what some get away with. For instance there was a charity that took kids fishing. The five trustees obtained money from grants and donations. Each year they took five kids fishing, twice year. Every year in turn one of the trustees got a brand new L200. Another managed the money left over 100 years ago to a charity. All they did was issue a couple of medals for life saving each year and had a pi$$ up on the interest the lump sum provided. Another was a hedgehog charity that got £200k bequeathed. They upgraded their 'hospital' aka their house, 'ambulance' aka their car and it was all gone in a year. They went from a turnover of £3k to £200k and back to £3k in two years before the charity was suspended.

Many charities are doing the work the Government should be attending to; lifeboats, guide dogs, cancer research and old folk's welfare for example. I stopped donating to the RNLI when it became a faxi service for immigrants. But, before then and before the woke brigade took over it was a well run charity. But why should a professional mariner rely on volunteers to save his skin? That should be the Coastguards job. Same with the other examples. The Government should be doing the work of the charity.
Then there are anomolies in that ballet dancers and orchestras have charities looking after their welfare, but sportsmen and women can't. A lot of smaller charities were set up to harvest grants given out by the Government and are basically self serving in that their management costs absorb most of the income.
There are over 150,000 registered charities in the UK. I would guess that the vast majority are there for their own benefit.

Before giving to any charity it is a good idea to look up how they distribute the money they receive and how much the directors are paid. Just go onto the Charities Commission website, search for the charity then look up their accounts. You'll be amazed at how little finds its way into the cause the charity is set up to help. And how much the directors are paid.

Charity does begin at home. Just look up the accounts of the charity and odds on the directors will be getting a fortune in wages and expenses.

The first day I arrived in France was -20C overnight. There was over a foot of snow and it didn't get above -8C for 2 weeks and that was in full sun. Minus 25C towards the latter end at night. The 2 bedroom cottage I had rented had one 4kw log burner and no logs. I managed to scrounge half a cube later on. The gas bottle had frozen as had the water. When I took the dog out for a walk round the fields there were dead birds everywhere, lapwings, pigeons, partridge. I had to cook on top of the log burner, buy water in 5 litre bottles to warm up on the stove to wash in and bought a couple of electric oil filled heaters for the bedroom before the shops ran out of heaters. Little wife was due to fly out a couple of days after I got there, but I told her to cancel. On the 15th day the snow melted, and a week later there was frog spawn in the flooded wheelings.

Got an envelope yesterday from the NHS to book your seasonal covid-19 vaccination now 3 pages 2 pages in foreign languages and a leaflet about the booster. I wonder how much all this is costing as now the jab for covid it seems has now become a seasonal jab like the flu jab .
Yep. Same in all the public services. Meanwhile in France you get a letter in French, speak to receptionists in French and if you don't speak French they ask you to come with a French speaker. Onus is on you, not the State.

I have to say francie is correct. You have demeaned his religious beliefs, in the past.
No, I have questioned his hypocricy. He has claimed to be a follower of Jesus which he may well be. But he does not always express opinions consistent with what that means.

Lying hoor, many times ye slabbering to me sure about God?
I was talking about hypocrisy Francie. A good man of God does not make things up about people with differing views to his own. Turn the other cheek and all that.

I do wonder why people who are so determined not to believe in the possibility of big cats loose in the UK are equally determined to continue to deride those who do. Why is it so important to continually impress an opinion that cannot actually be proved? I don't believe in God, but I respect the right of others to believe and I can't prove that I'm right in my opinion. So I avoid commenting on religious posts.
The best you can say is that you have not seen proof or that you don't believe the evidence collected by those looking for for big cats.

Hello everybody,I just want to start of with saying that today I tried to get myself some shooting permissions to hunt pests/ vermin ,got my nice Sunday clothes on and went knocking on doors. I was met with fu** offs left and right knocked on maybe 20 doors or so and they all were fu** offs…
I've had enough of trying. For fu** sakes ive been trying for ages now and I just now lost all hope for Telford-Shrewbury (shropshire in general)
If there is anybody on here that may have some land around Telford-Shrewsbury and would let me shoot on it you’d be the biggest legend going,Im a respectful young lad I wont take the piss if I am given permission,likebring people with me or stuff like that,or shoot things just for fun and leave them dead around
thanks
Denis
Its like I said the other day; an air gun pest control is bottom of the pile. All you could realistically hope for is a bit of ratting on a chicken or pig farm, maybe feral pigeons around barns on a cereal farm. People on here are not likely to share their permission with a stranger just because he wants to shoot. Try asking on a farming or small holder forum or call round some allotments and ask those with chickens if they have a rat problem. Or, as I suggested, do a bit of beating. That might open a door for you.

Here’s another thing, how often has some f***ing rag like the daily Mail ran a headline about “over weight white single mum has 6 kids and she’s costing you £700 a week” and us silly c**ts all scream “Horrible b*****d, shouldn’t have kids if they can’t afford them” ?
They and we do it all the time.Well, let me tell you, the average black or Asian has no such qualms or loyalty to HM Treasury, they are having kids right, left and centre and it’s us dopey c**ts not copping on……and so, we die out !
If we don’t start thinking outside the box about all sorts of things we are done for.
Stop voting for this shit for starters, stop buying into the propaganda, stop resenting your own, support those who are having a go at your enemies whatever the cost to you and let’s face it, it won’t be much !
Refuse to play this game.
Phew! I thought that you were advocating us all going out and pupping as many single mums as we could to get the white population up.

WILF is right in that the bar was lowered in order to employ or promote the non white, hetrosexual, able bodied, males. So years later we now have senior manages in all our public servicss who should bever have got their foot on the first rung of the ladder.
-
In my view the reasons for the cover ups and two tier system is caused bg managers in public services including police, education and health being pressurised by politicians to adopt a system of 'diversity' that is actually positive discrimination against the indiginous population and also against males, hetrosexuals and able bodied people. I saw it myself in SYP and since retirement have spoken to teachers, medical staff, fire officers and their experiences echo mine. It came out in the recent RAF recruitment row that has suddenly gone quiet. There has been an organised policy encouraged by promoting those from certain groups and those who push the agenda. Even on tv it is rammed down our throats. When was the last time that you saw an advert with an all white family? And tv presenters are being picked to tick a box rather than for their ability.

I honestly think a lot of that is down to each person's circumstances i have worked with Roma Slovaks who came through an agency 5 of them lived in the same house so with their combined wages it didn't matter if their was no work for a couple of them on the other hand a lad who now works with us was on the dole for a year saying that he would not take the risk working for an agency on zero hour contracts when his rent and council tax was being paid for by being on the dole.
And that is the crux. There isn't enough incentive to entice those on guaranteed benefits into work.

Out on my regular route yesterday. Haute Vienne looking over Dordogneshire
Trees are still holding onto their leaves. Today another regular route taking me into the Vienne. Three legged trap site set last time paid off.
Another garden has 120 metres of river bank that keeps me busy

Would a geezer who puts cones out and sweeps broken indicator lights off the carriageway be held on a contract of non disclosure?? I very very much doubt it as they don’t even need sv vetting mate and in reality any legal brief worth his salt would extrapolate his client from such a debacle anyway …
anyway , I don’t believe any highways agency worker has ever been placed in that scenario so it’s all conjecture
I don't think it will be in any contract, just a quiet word. And, to be fair, it probably wouldn't be those who deal with cones, etc. In South Yorks they sent the Enviromental Health arm of the Highways Dept for small animals or the knackerman if the animal was too big for them. But, as you say, it hasn't been an issue yet. I don't know where the men in black came from, but imo that is nonsense.
