The UCKG are a commercial church whose owner is worth 1.1bn USD with more controversial stories including its' pre-election support for the new fascist leader of Brasil, and yet they are collecting money in our local Lordship Lane M&S. Surely M&S could have found a local charity free of dodgy attitudes to invite collect?

So please, this Christmas, don't give fascist sympathisers your money.

But their official charity partner is a youth group locally, surely they could be allowed to collect instead?

Thank you for alerting us to who this is, I agree, if the head of this organisation supports the vile ultra extreme views of the new Brazilian leader, Bolsonaro, I am grateful you pointed out who they are. Glad I did not give them anything. And given the origins of M + S I am very surprised they are letting this group onto their premises. Really do not feel like going in again until they are gone.

I appreciate your sincerity but that's not my point. They (the church, not the individuals in M&S) support actual fascists to help them win power and set themselves against the religions of indigenous people of the Amazon. That's Christians running a highly profitable commercial church which has been repeatedly accused of money laundering, telling people whose ancestral land it is they are wrong to hold their own beliefs. There is no local work they can do which assuages their behaviour elsewhere.

Certainly should. And so should your mate Tommy Robinson's hate organisations and similar entities that you're quite happy to support - what's the difference in hatred apart from skin pigmentation?

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
