I AM continually bombarded by every kind of charity organisation to send money with gifts in their requests which to my mind amounts to buying them if you do send any.

I find this nothing but a vexing cheek.

So I now refuse any money and send all the begging letters (which of course is what they are) back to whence they came.

It shouldn’t be for the public to give money to all these organisations.

It should be for the government to look after their people (and animals, too) instead of wasting it on futile projects that people don’t want and aren’t necessary.

Not only that, it is a nuisance to have to keep disposing of and disappoint people who think they have received something genuine through the letter box only to find they have received this instead.
