Can I play devil's advocate for a moment? If you support a charity and wish them to succeed and continue in a difficult financial climate, then surely you can't object to them making an ask of you and others. Which you can choose to ignore. Or, give them a call and ask them to remove you from their mailing list. At least give them a chance to respect your wishes.


You may well not be able to afford that much money. But others will. If you ask people for ten pounds, thats what you will get. Ask for one hundred and if they can afford it that's what people will give. Working in charity I have seen millionaires giving three pounds a month on direct debit - no doubt because a form once arrived asking them for that amount.

I know, I know. But surely for this series to be even vaguely entertaining, the "high income" family will have to be pretty loaded. Hamstead or even Blackheath could be a better bet, perhaps...

It is true, my family are absolutely stinking rich! But we are such modest people, we could never ever allow our family to be on TV (shame)...

what does living in poverty really mean?

When we were young we had no central heating, car or tv. We were happy!! I am unsure about these divisions/lines. Especially when being poor is ( I think) in some cases being in the bottom 10% of incomes. So of course there will always be a bottom 10% of incomes and if this is the definition there will always be poverty. What do others think? ( obviously I am only talking about the UK, there is huge economic poverty in other countries)

Living in poverty. I know someone who is not well and to cut a long story short they're not financially well either, now. But what is IMMORAL is that the very people who can least afford it including my friend is paying a very high rate for their electricity, yet those of us who are not doing so bad can get a cheaper rate, paying for both leccy and gas together by direct debit putting in our useage on line and not getting paper bills and it is all cheaper.


Meanwhile, what IS it about families all the time? Do people never realise how many people don't live in families and consider their friends to be their 'family'?


'Appy Christmas though.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
