Idiot Tax .
I used to think that but as Sir C pointed out, a fair whack goes to charity and for the sake of a couple of quid, there is always that tiny chance and the hope that goes it with it of winning a fair amount. The problem is of course that people who can't afford even a few quid a week are pumping money into something they have almost 0% chance of winning
Ironically, the one person I know who won a considerable sum was already very wealthy
HMRC
And f*ck me but do they ask for contributions. :-(
No.
Enough going on supporting my own family.
I hate those ****ers that try and cajole you into regular donating on the street, should be illegal or at very least legal to tell them to **** off.
I am not sure you are “allowed” to just verbally abuse any person on the street A, perhaps not illegal in the strictest sense but quite sure plod / An Garda Siochana could pull you up on some minor by-law or other.
Professional beggars A. No better than the Roma / Romanian / whatever sat beside the cash machine on Upper Street.
Sit near a pub, always come out of there with a load of shrapnel in my pocket which I'll happily donate*
*I won't. I have an issue with the homeless which involves me being sucker punched and having my head kicked in on Oxford Street as I wouldn't give him my pizza
St Lukes Hospice...when I moved to a new place last summer I donated a lot of old furniture for their charity shop.
...
Just one thing though...according to my annual tax return £92 has gone towards Overseas Aid....does this count as charity? I think it does which means everyone can feck right off about me not being charitable....£92 in overseas aid...Jesus fkin Christ....so every time I work I'm paying for some kid in Africa.
There's the amount that went to the Eu budget...grrrrr #brexit
I don't give much to charity. Poppy Day is the one I observe religiously.
But in my will if my wife goes first, most of my money will go to charities and cultural institutions.
