Not really hate, but a bit disturbing I think.
Was caught by a chugger inside the local M&S foodhall. He was touting for a homeless charity and I stopped in the belief that I could donate a few quid for a good cause. One that I have helped out a bit with through work, facilitating the relationship between local homeless charities and some of the major train stations in London.
Starts off with him holding a card, consciously holding his thumb over a certain section and then tells me there are 4 offers available and they're only looking for one off donations. Fine.
First one, can do this, this and this. Reveals the number and it's £1000! I mean, who can just donate £1000 just like that?
Goes down the list and the other options are £500, £250 and £100. It was quite unbelievable. I mean, if it works fairplay, but I don't think many have that kind of money to spend just like that.
