Charity begins in the media, it seems

Sadly, trust & pateince is in short supply. In government. In media. In charities themselves.

Righteous opposition

Just this morning I have been move to write on a story whipped up by dubious research, then chewed on by various social commentators who the BBC have on speed dial, living nice and near in the right part of London. Their main conclusion seemed to be that people are confused by endless facile filler stories of the kind they themselves were publicising.

Then elsewhere there was a charity operative with the speed-dial to the PR to the mate in the paper who is 'doing without supermarkets'... for a whole 6 weeks.
Maybe she works as a senior climate change analyst.

Because just keep the jaw dropping there is a report by a charity on Britain's businesses' failures to monitor carbon emissions.

Is that the best use of the money donated?

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.

Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.

I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
