WITH so many malaises and a ridiculous amount of debt, our nation has just got pitiable.

We can’t afford to give to charity when we are struggling to support our own OAPs and NHS. Charity and responsibility begin at home, and should remain there to ensure Britons can enjoy a reasonable standard of living in the future.
