"I did some back packing in my youth in India and we have it good. Should we have lower taxes to buy that 50in plasma or stop a child from starving to death? There is no debate on this for me. " i totally agree with the sentiment genuine poverty needs all the help it can get , but what were 3rd world nations are often now emerging super econonmies who can (if the will is there) pour more money into solving it themselves instead of spending billions on missiles,navies and nukes. | |||

"but what were 3rd world nations are often now emerging super econonmies who can (if the will is there) pour more money into solving it themselves instead of spending billions on missiles,navies and nukes." We spend billions on navies, missiles and nukes. Are you suggesting that we're a 3rd world country? Already? | |||

"A much as I applaud our efforts to help others, I'm also all for sorting ourselves out. We're pumping millions into foreign countries yet we've got people here who have to choose between money for food or putting the heating on to keep warm in winter. Not right at all." yeah i really agree with you. | |||

We're pumping millions into foreign countries yet we've got people here who have to choose between money for food or putting the heating on to keep warm in winter. Not right at all." Its not right but its often a choice between food or fags. There is a state pension for the old and a benefit system for people who aren't working. Some of the poor sods abroad get the choice of grass to ease the hunger pains or starve. | |||

"sorry but you are a single mum being supported rightly by the state... if you were a single mum there whose hubby had died, you and your child would probaly starve to death.. im grateful to be living in the Uk" I think people in western Europe are real lucky all round. Granted there is poverty but everyone looking for work is entitled to benefits and in most cases shelter. The truth is if we DIDN'T give to people abroad there would be many many people who would die. I for one am not comfortable with that. | |||

"I believe both.. I think we should role model what compassion is to the world. Absolutely we should look after our old and vulnerable, they deserve that and more... in those countries family is everything...the young really look after their old. in this country not as good at that in my opinion.. we treat the old shockingly and that is not all the government faults...... on occasion it is the sons/daughters/nieces/nephews who dont really wanytgran/grandad,old uncle bill/auntie agnes at Xmas because it may interfere with their week in Vilier ski-ing, or a week at Xmas with the olds bids is a fecking pain..... not all, but not nearly enough looking after people in our own communities...." agreed... the answer is as always not either or... but AND | |||

"How many people sit on here all day that could be visiting an elderly person with no one... doing voluntary in an old people home... they would love to see peoples kids... kids bring a smile to an old person.... if people really cared... voluntary visitor programme for the geriatric wards where people have no visitors from one month to the next" i am a single parent as you pointed out, and my job before was a community carer so know how lonely the elderly get.. but i also know how cold there homes are and how little money they get. Its a very sorry state.. yes me and the little un do the rounds to spring a bit of cheer upon the ladies and gents that made my job worthwhile xx | |||

"also for clarification im not on about keeping more money in this country to fund a 50inch tv for 'tax dodgers/government stingers' but just to clear our countries debts and to help those who actually need it, then to once again resume the substantial financial contributions to others in more need" Hey luv i don't mean to be rude but from what i can gather you aint contributing. I pay a fair few bob at the 40% rate and i have a concious. I might speak my mind but i know i am a lucky SOB living in a rich country. So we have to cut some services maybe make some people pay for tv licences, less community projects but that's chicken shit compared to some poor kid starving to death. | |||

Far enough we have conflicting _iews. I care about people who are on the starvation line, i just find it very very hard when others don't share my _iews on this. | |||

"unfortunately much of the debate does center on money...I dont give to charity, I know I could...I often question where my money would be going directly. but lets not confuse giving money with having compassion even if u dont or cant contribute." There's a lot of small organisation you can give to if you're worried about transparency but most charites are audited heavily to stop money being wasted. But you're right. It's not just money, it's also time. | |||

There are lots of successful support programmes targeting womens groups and many agencies are now focusing their resources on them specifically for that reason."i can only tell you what i found and only in africa and only up until i think i was last in Nairobi in 09 and there is a tribal backlash against organisations "trying to say live like us" and diluting the culture,they have it rough in some ways but in other ways they have great hereditory knowledge on how to survive in hostile ennvironments,have very little western disease cancer and heart etc and have there own cultures and want to maintain them and who can blame them . The subjugation of women is a pisser tho,but they do look after them even into old age ,no old peoples homes to ship granny and grandad off to over there . | |||

How do I know? I get letters and drawing from him regularly." The money from this type of sponsorship usually goes to the community rather than to individual children...but the children benefit directly because of services that the charity support in that community eg schools, health services, water and sanitation etc. This usually works really well because the charity undertakes a long term commitment (usually 15 years) to help develop the area in a sustainable way. The charity wont give the money to individual children because that would be very unfair on the child next door that doesnt have a sponsor. Instead they focus on working with the whole community. | |||

" The subjugation of women is a pisser tho,but they do look after them even into old age ,no old peoples homes to ship granny and grandad off to over there . Yeah but the average life expectancy in these communites aint great..." tbh i dont know i was mainly dealing with people of working age who had land and it was quite rare the maasai or other tribes would let you in to there way,although some of the subsistance farming was elderly women alone but rare now i think back on it | |||

"_iew, i was raised to save up for things rather than get myself into debt because i wanted something now.. i cant start to imagine what life is like over in a foreign country or to have to walk for 3 miles or further to get water.. but from all i can see on the news (im no politician or know it all/google statistic finder expert) is how bad our countries financial situation is. Im sure a fair few of us on here have personal debts. If talking on a personal basis would you rather your own money go to clearing your own personal debt or clearing your neighbours? " How bad our countries financial situation is? Do we have clean water,free health care, free education,? Don't believe the hype being sold to push through ideological cuts. And i promised i would stay away from political threads...but one question...if the economy was growing at the rate of Germany we would have the increased taxes needed to fund many of the cuts we are currently facing. Ask why we are cutting services,and whether the deficit can be tackled other ways? | |||

I'm seriously interested in what other ways Britain can pull this round, either financially or morally or what? There seems to be a significant silence from the left as to what there proposals are? Hopefully, you won't say increased borrowings, on top of the £750bn and rising at £100bn per year debt? | |||

No she ran the whole project and sorted out who did what. If you were vetted before going over you would have met her.
i dont know the point your trying to make but i have no intention of telling you or naming people on a swing site ok ..but there are people on this site who know what happened and what i did ,i am sorry if that upsets you in some way .but ...hey thats life
The point is i don't believe your original quote about satellite tv. Now after you saying you don't know Jillian i don't believe the rest.
i dont feel the need to convince you
either, especially on an open swing site i am sure she is going to appreciate being named on here ,any other indiscretions ?
Hang on a min you have named politicians and other people.Jillian isn't a swinger just ran the project and has always courted as much publicity as she can for her cause. You might feel miffed for being caught out but charity work struggles to find funding as it is without people dissuading people from giving!
what ever makes you think i am dissuading people from giving ,go re read my opening post ??
its up to you who you name mate its between you and the site
There have been more names on here than toes at a gang bang. From Vince Cable to Maggie Thatcher and so many sports people so its not against the rules. So fess up it was a tall story and i will laugh with you, no point carrying on when the game is up.
look you think its a lie ,you think you know me ,you think you have the facts ,you have nothing but a name of a woman ,,,i am happy ,,if your happy ...off you go ."Ok i gave you the chance to tell us you were kidding us with a tall story. But humour me and tell me when you were there. | |||
"In 2005/6 I decided to put my money where my mouth was, i sold all of my assets and went to Africa and employed 2000 subsitance farmers for 2 years trying to get them a renewable business model with organic status, every 6 months they got to vote where the money went from the crops sold, after the first meeting and big vote, was it a doctor visiting to innoculate kids and help with pregnant mothers, an improvement to irrigation systems to improve the yeild of their crop or even a new generator for the villages so they were not using moringa oil for lighting ,,,,,,,no they voted for satelite television !! go figure
forgive me if I am impertinent, but were the women and the children consulted?
Unfortunately in Tribal Africa they rank slightly below the cattle so no ,it
is a do it there way or no way mentality.
the group that I support on a regular basis target womens groups and children and have had a lot of success. Don't know if I am allowed to mention but will anyway. Action Aid.
part of the problem is that the various NGO's have gone in trying to take western values in there and the tribal leaders get very pissed off with cultural dilution ,women are not allowed a say or to work independently
A friend started a bead company in secret to help them earn a bit of money and they had to keep it totally secret,but eventually it got sprung and they didnt turn up. pulled out in 08 due the the inter tribal wars over the christmas killing the confidence in orders.
Still waiting! Oi i asked you did you go to Africa! Answer please!!!!!!
No answer and i will presume its pure B/S
yes i went to Africa see other posts i operated out of Nairobi and Athi River
