I BELIEVE that charities appealing for aid for foreign countries are just plain greedy.
The amount forcibly extorted from the public through taxation is more than enough. I will only donate to foundations that are used for purely English purposes because these seem to lag behind the others in the race for cash.
I would also like to see the amounts paid to charities’ top earners prominently displayed on the appeal literature.
