I'd give it to a homeless or childrens charity. Wouldn't it be brilliant if we all did? Already do that. Sponsor a child in Cambodia, left money in my will to charity, raised £1000s for various charities over the years through running marathons and parachute jumps so I certainly don't begrudge £1.24 a year. Well done you, what a great person you are. |

I’m fuming, just read that apparently Prince Philip died in the Queens arm’s, I thought pubs aren’t open until Monday?

Well done you, what a great person you are. Hope that wasn't meant sarcastically, certainly wouldn't catch me parachuting no matter the cause. Met someone in the Children's hospital who did sky dives to raise funds, really impressive the numbers involved. I once interviewed someone for a job who in the interview said he raised £1,000s for charity. Turned out he was a 'chugger'. |

Capitalists doing charity, what could go wrong? Charity is mostly just papering over the cracks isn't it, a failure of the state... Sure makes us feel nice about ourselves though. |

Well done you, what a great person you are. Why did that tone of response not surprise me coming from the likes of you. Just out of interest do you do the same? Probably not..your probably still moaning that you didn't benefit from the furlough scheme because you received 100% of your pay yet you'll have to pay the debt back through your taxes. What a selfish individual you are. So I've answered my own question about you there, you probably do jack sh*t for childrens and other charities. |

Really can't win with you Grover. Will you ever give an ounce of credit to anyone from the "right" (Tory voter). Hugo said wouldn't it be great if everyone gave their annual £1.24 contribution to the Royals to charity and specifically said a childrens charity. I replied that I already do that and highlighted what I have done and continue to do and all I receive is sarcastic replies from GGMI (who does jack himself) and a response from yourself saying giving to charity is just pampering over the cracks. Imagine where the world would be if no one donated to charity. |

Should a top ten nation by economics really be reliant on charity to supplement or indeed provide much needed service provision? I would argue not. |

Agree,I give to charity and various causes because I have an interest ie:Greenpeace or I have experience of what it is like to be in the position those charities support ie:Shelter. It doesn't make me feel good or smug it just means if I can help someone in a small way then I would rather do that than watering it up the wall in a pub. We all make choices however,there are a lot of selfish people in this World who would sooner pass by rather than do whatever they can no matter how small . |

Of course not, but it is, so charitable acts are very necessary and should be appreciated. I would argue both approaches are currently needed. |

And that's why I feel us handing millions of pounds a year to multi millionaires is abhorrent. |

Yes, it's better than nothing in the end, but 'worthy causes' shouldn't have to rely on the random good will of others. Hugo was saying that the Queen doesn't need charity as she is already wealthy beyond her wildest dreams? Charity shouldn't be a d*ck measuring contest, it should barely need to exist. Talking about charity, aren't the Tories cutting foreign aid? For example, it's a bit rich of someone giving a little bit of their surplus cash to charity on a whim, but not wanting to give back to the system via some form of inheritance tax on massive wealth? |

No but the tax I pay in the UK does! |

Strictly speaking, neither do ours. |

Mate your conflating all sorts of issues and rather than advocating a systemic review of how wealth distribution can be more equitable you pick on odd taxes ,Inheritance tax has a very low threshold can't remember exactly but around 400, that means your average working class family in many years areas who have owned a property for years will in all likelihood have to sell it to pay tax,personally I don't see that as fair Now I will support a review of the Personal/Corporate tax system if it results in a comprehensive equitable reset for wealth redistribution, flinging around the odd tax because someone lives in a big Country Home does nothing to solve the problem, it looks like the politics of envy. |

Oh well I might as well just give up then and pocket the "little bit of surplus income " for myself. Who is making it a d*ck measuring contest? Totally different in my books between giving to charity and objecting to double taxation. Where did I say massive wealth? What do you class as massive wealth? Sorry but if I've worked all my life and paid my taxes on property/investment etc I should be able to pass what I've built up to my family without being taxed a second time in it. |
