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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
