Ladystiletto Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 There are reports of women giving birth in the street with no water and no food and no healthcare in the Phillipines. I don't think that's happening here. Yes there are children in need here but every child in this country has clean water. I'm not trying to cause an argument just put over a different point of view. Humans are humans to me and the devastation in the Phillipines is on a incomprehensible scale. Yes I agree that India can send a few million to help out with teh Typhoon but equally couldn't the Queen send a few million to help out kids in poverty here? Its all relative isn't it. Completely agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Uncharacteristically, I have donated to CIN this year. Some of the raffle prizes were just irresistible I'm afraid! (and yes, I have donated prizes for the raffle too). I empathise with the plight of Filipinos. But I already give plenty enough in taxes that get funnelled out as Foreign Aid. No.10 can fly the flag and do the charitable thing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 None, because neither will see a penny of it. Obviously we'd appreciate it if you could substantiate such a scurrilous claim. I donate to Children in Need btw,as much as i empathise and feel pity for victims of the disaster but my personal donations stays as "close to home" as possible.

No.10 can fly the flag and do the charitable thing there. I tend to agree with you Loob. Just reading the breakdown of donations from other nations off a website called "Time World" US...$20 Miillion UK...£16 Million Japan..10 million Vatican..4 million N.Zealand 1.4 million China's initial donation was shocking! $100,000. But it seems they have upped it to $1.64 million. It also goes on to say that China's meagre donation is more of a political decision,due to a dispute over a few rocks in the South China Sea.
