For years, more and more services that should be statutory and government funded have had to be replaced with charities and donations because the govt stops funding them. To the point where we are literally donating now to schools, NHS, foodbanks & shelter.

Govt isn’t even providing basic human rights at this point, and we are all expected to be so happy when someone walks up a mountain or releases a song to donate to a service that we literally pay taxes for already.

No one should be having to raise money for stat services.

But it’s framed as positive isn’t it? An elderly man raises millions for the NHS and he’s a bloody hero. He is. Of course. But why on earth did he even need to do that? The NHS isn’t a charity. It’s supposed to be funded correctly to function.

People create choirs and release songs to raise millions for veterans who are left to die and suffer after service - and it’s all supposed to be a lovely gesture but the real crime is that the govt exploited these humans and then left them with absolutely nothing

People go out of their way to create shelters and accommodation charities and that’s brilliant - we are reliant on humans like this.

But why? Why should we be?

Aren’t humans entitled to safe accommodation and shelter? Why isn’t the govt held accountable for refusing to provide?
