The 3rd Sector; charities, giving and their statistics & aims - Part 1

 

This will start a special two or three part look at charities, and the absolute racket / unnecessity that they have become.

I for one, have not to my knowledge, EVER used a charity, unless you talk about charity shops and the James Bond DVDs I bought last year along with a variety of long sleeve shirts, that were in perfect condition and have enabled me to survive the Glasgow winter.

First of all, please look at this link, which is yet another example of "bloat" amongst economic statistics that many non-profits, as well as economic sectors, have always used, ie, "Our Agricultural sector accounts for £24 billion a year to the UK economy . . . "

They all talk shite, but these stats are simply ridiculous.  For one, I looked at the statement that "there are 44,000,000 "regular" contributors to Charities, at a rate of 16 quid a month?"  What bullshit!  Are you actually telling me that nearly 70% of the people in this country contribute regularly to charity?  You're talking nonsense!  I DO indeed contribute to "charity", but even I would not consider myself a "regular" contributor.

In addition, a simple calculator used shows that this (£16 / month X 12 months X 44 million) only amounts to about £8,500,000,000?  At the same time, the said link states that the overall budgets of charities in the UK is £39,000,000,000?  Could someone please tell me where the other £31,000,000,000 comes from, if it's not from regular contributors?  

Corporations?  Hugh one off payments?  etc?  I would really like to enquire at just where does this money, a very sizeable amount, come from?

Finally, the said link, also stresses that the contribution of the sector, is greater than that of the Agricultural and Arts sectors?  Hence, I've looked up just what these two sectors say about this, and have discovered that they (Arts) claim, via this link, to add £33,800,000,000 to the economy, that seems pretty close in my mind, whilst for Agriculture, it's about £27,300,000,000 - though weeding through each of these is quite tedious, in order to have a like-for-like comparison.

In the next few days, will continue along these lines, by looking at individual sectors a little bit more in detail.

Week Ahead - There is just SO much shite around, it's futile. . .

Another week, and will look, or at least question, several things:

1) An initial look at all the crap that heads of "non-profits" actually say.  What if we were to agree to EVERYTHING that they said?  Would we really be better off?

2) Finally, will do a finishing touch to my list of Healthcare reforms that America should do.

3) Various wokeness that I detest.

4) And more!

GB News - Screw You!

Just when you thought that we had an alternative to the hoary old, leftist, woke, MSM in the UK; we don't.

GB News is dreadful, not even as good as you and some of your mates bitching about the world, over a cheap pint of lager. 

Why?  I have actually been watching quite a bit of them recently, and noticed that it is not necessarily a rolling news network, but relies heavily on a folksy, couch based, interview system, with a moderator leading discussions.

I would try this only some times, and have the moderators wear suits, and have a slightly higher camera, that would look down more at the interviewers / *ees.  Automatically, it would be more professional looking.

But what has pissed me off totally, is the blatant, "fair", wokism that their Free Speech show on Saturday afternoons has.  Case in point, today in the afternoon segment of this, an Erich McElroy?, a token American comic, went complete woke; talking about Juneteenth and the Tulsa Massacre, after answering the question put to him, about never being told about the Native Americans, who existed in North America before the arrival of the Europeans!  

It was classic deflection, and COMPLETELY maddening to me.  I could have kicked in the TV, and will not be watching this shit for some time; and that includes the arrival of Nigel Farage on Sundays.

The fact is, when young, I heard CONSTANTLY that the Europeans did NOT discover America, but were simply the arrival of Europeans!  This guy was talking shite, and GB News should be ashamed of themselves to even have had him on their show.

"Woke wonders of the World" - Do these exist?

After reading about the New Seven Wonders of the World, I must confess that I knew something about these, but not all.  Then, I began to wonder that even THESE would be offensive to some of the pieces of sh*t out there, with a third rate Twitter account.  Thence, I feel that there is a need to find the 7 Woke Wonders, which can be either those worshiped by the "Wokerei", or those people / things, that are just such outstanding examples of wokery, that they simply HAVE to be on this list.

What would these be?  My thoughts are:

1) Twitter (Management, etc) - Software Application

Filled with those loser Fascists, with too much time on their hands, and complete with a cancel culture on steroids.  I DETEST them.

2) MSM - the Mainstream Media - Media

Need I say more?

3) So many!  I would choose Joe Biden, as he simply has so much power - Person

The mental moron, with a rock's IQ, has been used more in the first 6 months of his (his wife's) presidency, than anybody did in America's first two centuries.  Roll on '24.

4) Google's London Headquarters - Building

A testament to all things woke, from massage rooms, to a running track. Awful!

5)  Veganism - Philosophy

Of all of the eating philosophy's, these ugly, pretentious, miserable snobs, take the (vegan) cake.

6) Biology - Science

They're a disgrace, for never having the balls to push back against all the bollocks on gender and sex - Screw 'em!

7) Education - Profession

The lot of them should be arrested immediately for child abuse.  The quicker we move to home schooling and school choice, the better.

The week Ahead / UEFA and the Rainbow Flag

This week is still very busy for me, but rest assured will try to give my opinions on various topics, such as:

* Thoughts on the changes in COVID stats

* More (finally) on Healthcare

* Another wacko website

And on the ridiculous decision of the fascist, LGBT community, wanting UEFA to fly the Rainbow Flag, as a big eff u to Hungary, I will say something on tomorrow.
