I'm just totally gobsmacked at some of the hypocrisy on here....We are so blessed that we do not have to rely on the charity of others just to survive!!!  I'm more offended by the payday loan adverts than the request for little more than the cost of a bottle of gin to help the disadvantaged and abused elsewhere.

We are lucky on here to have people who answer the call to help the disadvantaged. And not so lucky to have people who criticise the hypocrisy "on here" while managing to ignore each and every call to help the disadvantaged we have ever made.

Hypocricy cap available for fittings, please apply to admin.

Thanks for that Scunner, never heard so much rubbish in my life, and what have payday loans got to do with this thread?

Cleopatrasasp unfortunately has a bit of a history for coming to CBF hoping to find something to offend her. It usually doesn't take much.

Offended by the appearance of an advert? Best stay in bed and never go out again ever.

I have first hand knowledge of the waste and "money no object" attitude
of some UK charities. There is nothing hypocritical about wanting
your donation to reach the subject rather than the facilitator.
CleopatraAsp.
I hope you don't find my post as offensive as I find yours.
I find gin offensive when too much has been consumed.

Cheers Kevin3  cant believe that someone who has not contributed anything to the charity appeals on this forum can turn up and call us hypocrites, perhaps she has her own guilty feelings?

Well, I like all us hypocrites on this Forum.  I am also proud that we don't waste time being offended, but take action to support charity when we are invited too. 
I have to admit I was aghast at this latest posting, but then I thought "Why should I be, I should be used to offence being taken once again"

And you know this....how?
I make no apologies for my earlier comment, and I know I'm not part of the back-slapping brigade on here, but neither does it mean I do not care.  As for charitable donations, yes I'm guilty...I do make them on a monthly basis, though unlike some, I prefer not to advertise the fact!!!
