Suckers!
Britons have donated ?23m to the Haiti earthquake appeal, the Disasters and Emergency Committee (DEC) has said.
The UK government has trebled its funding for the humanitarian response from ?6.2m to ?20m, to provide food, shelter, health and relief work.
SourceThis pisses me off no end...
You pay more than half of what you earn in tax... the UK and EU governments have budgets of trillions which they piss away on worthless schemes to control every aspect of our lives.
Let them take some of the cash they piss away on TV adverts telling you how to clean your teeth or brush your hair and send
that to Haiti; don't rattle tins under the noses of pensioners who won't have enough left to buy food or heat their homes.
And remember the money that the UK government is generously sending isn't theirs - its ours, they're sending it on our behalf. I can guarantee the Brown Gorgon won't be writing a cheque for twenty million quid (although he could probably afford it)...
And if you are on benefits its not your fucking money anyway!
