  1. Wasn’t children in need charity was pretty much a big scam?

  2. I hate the fact I can’t order anything without charity being forced on me.

    Donate to children in need? No.
    Round up to the nearest pound to donate? No.
    Are you sure? Yes.

  3. Never give to charity via a company, cos they’ll then claim _they_ raised x amount for children in need. Do they get tax benefits too…? Either way, get your double cheeseburger, donate monthly to your favourite charities and be happy with yourself.

    Equally, dont feel guilty about not giving cash to the homeless. Donate to Shelter or other homeless charity, give to a food bank or buy them some food directly if you want, and feel good about yourself.

  4. The annoying thing about children in need is that you have Jamie Laing doing all these marathons to get you to donate.

    Fair play to him. I don’t even have any issue with the bloke he seems like a lovely guy…..BUT he’s part of the family that owns McVities and he owns several other successful brands plus he’s a radio and TV presenter. The guy is definitely not short of a bob.

    He’s one of the people who benefits massively from wealth inequality. He’s part of the system that has created mass poverty (I’m not saying it’s his fault personally). Why am I getting told by a multimillionaire to give my money to people who are much closer to my level of wealth than I am to his?

    Again I don’t have any issues with Jamie Laing as a person but I refuse to partake in the system where rich people are begging for MY money. Fuck off.

  5. You’re a giant tax-dodging multinational multibillion dollar company.

    I’ve just bought this burger using a coupon on the back of a bus ticket.

    How about YOU donate some money to charity, you corporate fucks.

  6. Another reason not to donate to charities through POS machines is that you can’t claim Gift Aid. For anyone who isn’t aware that’s when the government will top up your donation by 25% by assuming you’re donating a net amount that you’ve already paid income tax for. The idea, beautifully, is that this will allow people to donate to more charities because say you want to donate £10.00, that’s 100% including the income tax so you declare it gift aid and donate £8.00, the government releases your tax amount bringing the donation up to £10.00.

    Of course in real life application most charities will ask you for the whole £10.00 with gift aid so they’ll get £12.50, and some even ask for more money with a gift aid donation so not only do they receive more but you pay more and have less to share with other charities but hey ho…

  7. Oh hey, it’s your friendly local multi billion dollar multinational company here. I’ve just stopped by to ask you to give just the price of a tasty burger to hungry children. I mean sure we could pay our staff more and have less hungry children, but hey. Now pay up you poors.

  8. Will I donate to someone doing a marathon to raise money? Yes. Will I donate to a multi-billion dollar company that refused to pay a womans medical bills after their product put her in the hospital for eight days? Fuck off

  9. just get the free cheesburger and then give some money to charity

  10. Yeah my local bank had a thing on where they were encouraging customers to donate to the homeless and im like Motherfucker you are a bank, you create the homeless.
