A Compassionate Society?
154 Answers
Do you think we are a compassionate society, given the number and demand for food banks?
Kids go to bed hungry?
People on hard times have benefits stalled or stopped for superfluous reasons, sometimes resulting in eviction?
Army veterans, in spite of the British Legion and SAAFA, find themselves facing hardship and the governments promises to a military promise is just a sad memory?
We all had to bail out the bankers, and the CEO of Persimmons just got a £75,000,000 bonus.
The numerous questions should be obvious by now!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Nailit, I don’t refuse to see that some people struggle – I know they do - but I refuse to see the justification in embellishing reality as you and Theland do. If children are hungry the system isn’t to blame. Furthermore I refuse to see the justification in you complaining that your sister has to spend some of her savings to prop herself up for a few weeks until her benefits to kick in. Theland asked me to respond to your complaint and I did. No response from you or him. So why shouldn’t she spend some of her savings to prop herself up for a few weeks? Tell me.
From you: // Unbelievable how some people can have their head so far up their own 'arris.//
From Theland, // Sometimes I despair at the arrogance of the well heeled….. Some lovely charitable helpful big hearted people on here, but some very callous ones as well. //
Theland, //Ebenezer Scrooge and the Selfish Giant spring to mind.
I really feel truly sorry for Naomi.
Upside down values.
Wonder what BBC Chidren In Need is all about?
"I'm alright Jack," syndrome.
What I do with mine maybe considerably different from what you do with yours.
And who gets the greater return? //
And you talk about ‘personal insults’? You have no idea what I do with my money – none whatsoever. Furthermore, you, Theland, have a very short memory and for that you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself. Absolutely sickening. Do you want to tell the reader what a mean-spirited scrooge I am – or shall I?
