I may seem like I am always down on charities, but I'm not. Well, I'm OK with charity, but not so much the business most major 'charities' brands' have become.
My unease is typified by this poster in our local street. And it's worth noting there are about a dozen such shops competing with rate-paying commercial sales outlets.
WE DON'T ACCEPT OLD BOOKS.
That was what I liked about such shops. Old stuff reused and the money going where most needed. Now they are flogging new stuff (see the poster behind?) to send what % after deductions for admin and marketing?

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.
