The Good Law Project a Charity? never in a million years, it's a left-wing political organization, it's the opposition party's job to do that. Why not support the two families who have had their hearts broken regarding the murders of two innocent children, if that happened to my family or grandchildren I know full well I would not survive, Die broken-hearted within 6 months I would never recover, That's something worthy not that political crap you trying to get people to pay into.
Says a lot about you Typical looney lefty, no heart no brain.
It's a project to hold the government to account for violating the laws of this land in relation to corruption and how a democracy should function.
Labelling it loony left puts you on the side of the corrupted and those who do not like accountability and transparency in government and who dont support democratic values.
Do you support democracy?
As much as you do, however, as I said earlier, it's the opposition parties job in parliament to hold governments to count, not a made-up collecting system masquerading as a charity for a failed opposition
I think if you are going to support democracy, as you clearly say you do, you may want to brush up on the differences between the roles of the legislature and the judiciary in a healthy functioning democracy.
Why are you focusing on the perceived failure of the powerless opposition parties and not on condemning the corruption and incompetence of the government? Do I detect bias and deflection?
Why would you oppose a group of lawyers trying to hold the government to account in the courts?

As soon as I spot them using any hard sales tactics ( I.e. door to door sales, chugging etc) they go on the black list. That just leaves a few smaller and, usually, local charities, such as Haven House.
I'd rather charities didn't need to exist, and see them as an indication of our failure to overcome our collective thickness. But, as that is unlikely to change anytime soon, I too will throw them a few quid and have done a bit of fund raising and volunteering.
Oh, and also, people who like to make a big deal out of doing things for charity always seem to be of a certain type.
I do a loadda work for charity too mate but I don't like to talk about it.
I agree that In principle charities should not need to exist and deplore the way the larger ones have become an industry with ridiculous salaries for CEOs, Directors and senior management whilst chuggers are out raising funds on minimum wage, very often employed via agencies with limited employment rights and benefits like sick pay, holiday pay etc.
But charities are a collective coming together of the community(including thicks) to fill a need and the people who have the motivation to join that movement are generally good people.
I donate to the local food bank, WaterAid, The Good Law Project, Spotify and the RNLI.
I think its a disgrace that a major maritime nation which depends on workers at sea for food, trade, fish etc has to depend on charity and volunteers to rescue them at sea should they get into difficulty.
The shipowners and operators should pay a levy to fund the RNLI. My donations are fairly recent and we're activated by the words and actions of Farage and Patel. Every time the speak out against saving refugees and asylum seekers I make another donation.
It's an even bigger disgrace that a wealthy nation cannot ensure its people are properly nourished and remove their dignity by creating a dependence on food banks. That is pure evil.
Enough for now but more later I'm sure.
Your last comment I'm in agreement with you, the rise of food banks should be unnecessary
What about the RNLI comments? Why is it necessary for a maritime nation to rely on charity for rescue at sea?

This may upset you Max, I do not agree with RNLI going out to rescue refugees and asylum seekers, these people intentionally put themselves at risk, if they want to commit suicide that's their prerogative, callous I know, but we can't all be nice to everyone

How do other nations fund their lifeboats if at all
Deflection.
I would still like to know the answer if you know.
It is utterly irrelevant to the point I was making. I applaud your curiosity now get off your lazy hole and research it yourself. Can't stand languorous Boarders.

So if you're waiting on a train on your way to work one morning and the guy standing next to you says he's going to jump under the Brentwood Express you will just tell him. " Aye nae bother pal. Wire in"

There is no point stopping him if he's gonna do it. He'll do it sooner or later.

The U.S funds the coast guard $ 12.8 billian dollars, we can assume it comes from that. I think the government here should fund the RNLI. Would you agree ?

There are many thousands of charities and all are worthy of support and respect. How do you choose?
My current ones are the Air Ambulance (we all might need them for survival)
Dignity in Dying
The Good Law Project (challenging the lawfulness of government's actions)
I guess it's about what engages our humanity/values/compassion at the time?
I give to the following each month:
Dogs Trust
NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society)
Essex Air Ambulance.
Not much really: £30 a month.
I give to these because I was stopped on the street by fundraisers, in Southend/Chelmsford, and they all put forward what I thought were plausible cases for help.
I also give sporadic donations to the Elizabeth Finn Fund. This is a charity which helped me out with cash help when I was totally on my uppers due to profligacy and addiction. I swore at the time if I was ever in a state to return their assistance, I would.

Lots of big words there? frightening.
From what I can see most, if not all are funded privately, which kind of shoots your argument down, round one to me? I think. We even support some of them, I gave my money to help people here not find bathing cozzies for Muslim women in Africa

I would like to think they would fund both the Lifeboat Services and the Air Ambulance Service, however, they don't

maybe the" LEFTIE LAWYERS " can challeng that.
They are both Volunteer Services, what's to challenge on that
