especially given Cameron's 'Big Society' concept. Charities are supposed to take up the slack for the government cuts, but they're not supposed to open their mouths!

Charities are not 'anti-business'. Some of my education-related work has led me into collaborations with non-profits, and I am very aware that businesses and charities work together quite a lot. 'Anti-business' is really a code here for 'anti-the concept of the very rich having a total right to fuck the poor'.

Moreover, this is evidence that, while some people genuinely believe that the government is not the best source of help for people in need, many people use this as a cover for a belief that people in need shouldn't be helped at all.

The Tories have got worse recently, since deciding that they have to win RW voters back from UKIP.
