Socialism Not Sadism

Charity is a cold grey loveless thing. If a rich man wants to help the poor, he should pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money at a whim – Clement Attlee.

Nothing groundbreaking, nothing earth shattering, just the odd reflection on a society that in the 21^st century needs food banks and has an ever increasing number of homeless people on the streets.

A society where charity rather than the state has to step in to provide a safety net for the disadvantaged and less privileged many.

In a life and death struggle, we cannot afford to leave our destinies in the hands of failures – Clement Attlee (again)
