Really?? Having lived there, I have only heard of two. And yes, charities fund medical research. That’s why most medical research is done in this country. We have much more money to donate to fund medical research.

Here’s a clue. Conservatives believe in charity and allowing the individual to donate or not donate, however much they want to give. In Socialist countries, the taxation is so great that the people don’t have as much as we do, to donate. The Government takes the money and then decides where it goes. And when In Britain, I worked in the NHS. A boatload of the taxation goes to the NHS and they still cannot fund it to the amount it needs. Last time we were there, I was injured and had to go to the NHS hospital for care. I waited 6 hours and when I did see a doctor in the Emergency room, the care was inadequate. When the Government is dispersing care, you only get what the Government deems necessary. And yes, I was covered by my own insurance and gave them the details, so they could charge my own insurance.

My husband will be sad. She is his nephew’s wife. I didn’t say anything inflammatory to her and she went off on a tirade. The Left and it’s supporters are unhinged.

Yes, really. The areas of life where the largest and most familiar charities are active include health and social care, wildlife conservation, the arts, culture and heritage, education, sport and leisure, international aid...In fact there are few aspects of life here in which charities are not involved, and the tradition of volunteering is deeply ingrained. Some charities, such as the National Trust (300,000 members) or the RSPB (over 1 million members) are very large, but many of that 186,000 are very small and local in their aims.
I spent most of my working life until retirement in the British charitable sector, so forgive me if I seem rather sensitive on the point!

Biden Won the Presidency is on a par with the statement “Epstein killed himself”.

I’m sorry for y’all. Sounds as if you and your husband were close to her.

Sadly, sometimes relatives can be toxic. Praying that she sees the light.

The only one I really remember from my time there is OxFam.

I expect that since we can’t run a fair election the dollar will soon cease being the world’s reserve currency.

We are making the Russians look good.
