It certainly was. I agree that a lot of charity-bashing is often a way of rationalising and/or justifying stinginess.
Very often it is done by the same people who would like to remove any form of government welfare or support and leave private charities to step in.

Having said that, I still object to massive salaries for anybody working in charities: enough to live on is perfectly acceptable, but 6 figures is just evil.
thank you St Jude for favours granted

A few years ago in the Big Issue mag there as a artical about how most charities only get between 5p and 6p in the pound over 90p goes towards administration costs :umm:

Donate directly to the charity.



I was not talking about chuggers in the street im talking about oxfam ,cancer research to name a few who take more than 90p in the pound towards administration costs.
