John,
We will have to have more fund raising events!
Such as:
Hang a banker
Burn a bank
sponsor a parachuteless banker
Sponsor a Bungiless banker
Raid all labour MP's bank accounts...Upp's I shouldn't have said that, I
shouldn't have said that.
You get the idea.
Any more suggestions?
Cheers
Dave
Hi everybody, I'd held back from posting on this so far, but since Barry
has now given it his go ahead I'd just like to put in my two penneth.
As I understand it the respondsibility for provision of those goods
and services till now provided by local authorities to blind people
would pass to charities. Given that these goods and services have been
provided free of charge by local authorities how will this work?
Charities are commercial organisations, they don't give anything away,
they sell it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people buying things where they are
able to, but what happens to those who can't? Will they be left by the
wayside, or will charities provide on the same terms as local
authorities have till now done?
I am one of the lucky ones that can afford to pay for things, but
there are many who can't.
John.
