Avoidance/ evasion ... all semantics at the end of the day. It's all about not paying tax.

Any working class person who votes for starmer is a deluded fool.I will fully admit to having a bias against the ToriesThey are a bunch of self serving immoral cunts who don’t give a single tit about the hard working people they are supposed to serve. They line their own pockets and make the rules that allow them to do so with no consequences.

See what I did there?
Agree! Another term that cringes me out is when women refer to their husbands as ‘hubby’ or ‘hubs’
just say ‘my husband’ or call him by his bloody name!! 
There was a period in time where calling a partner daddy was a thing. It was like blokes saying who's your daddy and call me daddy. it was so creepy and I could not get my head around it. I think it's still used in porn.
Very incesty.
Got to agree with the poster who said they’re all as bad as each other. The Labour Party of my dads day has gone. They couldn’t give a tit about workers anymore. The Tory party are ‘I’m alright jack’. Don’t have a mobile phone then you’ll afford food… The Lib Dems destroyed themselves with nick clegg. And sadly the smaller parties can’t get a leg up to bring any change.
Now anyone for Monster Raving Loony party???

Agree, I think people are less left and right wing now and most of us just have a centred opinion. And yet the political parties aren't moving with the timesGot to agree with the poster who said they’re all as bad as each other. The Labour Party of my dads day has gone.

Them too. I’m not a Labour supporter either. I’ve a special dislike for Gordon Brown.

I don't think the United Nations should put pressure on countries to take refugees and give war- and poverty-torn nations money.
I am very upset about what's happening in Ukraine (as well as all the other wars that have happened before), BUT I know of people in my country who can't afford to eat more than one meal a day because the cost of living is so high - where is their "aid"? (An announcement has just been made that my country will be giving so many millions to Ukraine).
On the refugee front, there are people in my country who were born here and are having to live in emergency housing, such is the demand for warm, dry and affordable homes. Although the emergency housing is one step up from living in a tent (which used to be how many lived until recently), refugees are able to come here with all of that arranged.
Charity MUST to begin at home.

I also don't appreciate being asked (often with pressure!), by large retailers if I'd like to add $1 onto my total to donate to X charity. I will choose who I want to donate to!

The thing getting on my nerves with the Ukrain thing, is war makes money, that's why nations are so keen on it. The UK is a big arms dealer and we make lots of money from war. In normal circumstances the gov get a cut because the weapons are being sold. But now we're giving the weapons away! And who do you think is paying for them, the tax payer. The manufacturers will still be making money from them, even if they are second hand from the military, we'll have to pay to replace them. So the private weapons companies are still making money, who many politicians have shares in, but the tax payer is out of money.
It's a con, just another way for the rich to take money from the tax purse. Just like Rich givng his wife a million pound covid contract and then her dissolving the company owing nearly as much to the tax man.
All the while the normal working persons finances are getting further and further stretched and public services are become more and more a thing of the past.

People are always pushy when they ask you to sign up for gift aid. It's optional.
Yes, this pisses me off as well. I tell them okay you give me 2 pound discount and I will donate 1 pound to the charity you are collecting for.
I don't like all that, either. I donate to charities I want to donate to, when I want to
They’re always doing collections at work for this, that and the other! There’s a certain woman who will send out mass emails to everyone in the office telling everyone she’s collecting for such and such a thing, and it’s like a weekly occurrence! I don’t even open the emails now. They just get deleted straight away. I already donate to children with cancer every months, and will donate to whatever else I choose to donate to. Not because some woman at work is collecting for a charity of her choice.
A few years ago we used to have a direct debit with the NCPCC. We chose an amount we were happy with and wanted to donate monthly.
We then started getting lots of emails and calls constantly asking us if we wanted to increase our amount. In the end my husband wrote to them and called them and said 'if we get one more request to increase our donation I will cancel the whole lot'.
We canceled the DD a couple of weeks later.

Makes you wonder if its their tactic to wear people down to the point where they just increase the amount to stop the constant pressure. I'm guessing it's mostly older people who regularly donate to charities and they would be easier to persuade or confuse and guilt trip.
My dad said the same with RSPCA.
If I want to donate to charity, I will. I used to have a friend who'd every year run the London Marathon for charity and would message people asking them to sponsor her. I unfriended her because I was fed up of these messages each year. Other than that, we never talked.
The worst is when they do a charity parachute jump but the donations also cover the cost of the jump.
Or they ask for donations so they can go build a well or some tit in another country. If you wanna do that brilliant, but I'm not paying for your jolly.

I agree about the charities. I've been donating to a local charity for a while now, but a mum I know from the school run has just climbed a mountain in aid of the same charity and keeps sending me links on whatsapp to donate.
People just want you to donate via them so that they can brag about how much they raise.

There was a case a couple of years ago were and old lady killed herself and part of it was because she felt so overwhelmed by charity requests.
Poppy collector Olive Cooke 'exhausted by charity requests'
A 92-year-old woman found dead in the Avon Gorge last week had been plagued by phone calls and requests for donations from charities, her friend says.
