Jamie Vardy to Speak at the Oxford Union

Recommended Posts

Charity is enjoyable thingy rich people do for its own pleasure and there is nothing honorable.

ya i am sure that she thinks she is actually helping anyone when she is not.for example giving one  pure enough food for one day makes him happy for one day and does not change the fact that he is pure and will be pure tomorrow.Yes,you will ask - but at least she does something and helps one erson,but its not the case.she and people like her cant realise that they are prolonging real problem and they are not focusing on fixing it.they chose easier pass which is not helpful 

Oscar wilde has written about it - The worst slave owners were those that were kind to their slaves, and so prevented the core of the system being realised by those who suffered from it … Charity degrades and demoralises.

 

i dont really care about Vardy's wife tho,she makes no sense for me tbh.just wanted to say few things about charity

Charity is modern day slavery.

 

If we nationalised the mines etc and forced the Corporations to pay appropriate tax we could actually pay people to cure cancer, run Libraries, or paint the local school.

If people knew the truth about most charities they would not give. 25yrs ago a company I worked for had its own guide dog charity. I asked the owner one day why he had set it up his reply was "simple the national charity when all expenses are taken into account pay £10k to buy feed and train  each dog. He could buy feed and train a dog for £2500. With the same people then hand the dogs over afterwards.

I personally still think they should have gone for Jeff Schlupp and his thesis on ‘positioning on the field of play’

Or. The moment I realised we where safe in the prem (ten minutes after the rest of the world knew) lol

Between 2013 and 2017, the proportion of students admitted to Oxford University rose from 56.8%1 to 58.2%.

 

They don't do typing courses.

Anyone speaking on the subject and speaking about Mental Health and how it has affected them and how to help other people can only be a really good thing. we need to end the stigma surrounding Mental Health and having Mental Health problems can affect anyone at anytime and there should be no shame talking about it or admitting you need help. anyone who stands up in front of an audience to talk about there own Mental Health issues deserve massive respect.

There's some good videos of Angelos Epithemiou and Ivo Graham speaking / performing at the Oxford Union. Obviously this will be more formal but I think there's room for Vardy to inject his personality into it and I reckon they'll like him

I know, it’s weird criticising someone for doing good stuff, even if they boast about it (not saying she does). it’s infinitely better than doing nothing which 80% of us do.

The 80% of us with full time jobs a mortgage and without the benefits of having a millionaire husband and all the staff that come with it. 

 

It's like when the royal family get loads of credit for all the great charity work they do... SO THEY BLOODY SHOULD!!!!!!! :D

I simply can't let this go.

 

I have been a Trustee to a charity and in my experience the people within it were decent folks who were trying to help where society or the state wouldn't or couldn't.  The charity I was involved with provided support for pre-school children with a range of special needs.  The state didn't provide support until they were five years old but I knew from my own experience that the earlier such a child could receive the specialist support they required, the better their life chances.  If the other Trustees and myself hadn't put in the effort to raise funds for these children, and provide an environment where they could progress, they would have been left isolated.

 

My eldest son had special needs, he received the support required after a lot of striving with the authorities from myself.  Today he's an adult in his thirties, in full time employment and living independently, something we though impossible when he was an infant.  I make no apologies whatsoever for trying to provide the same support for other children with similar problems through a charity.  I don't care if anyone thinks it is honourable or not, I can assure them that it is necessary.  And I would struggle to find a single parent who felt that the charitable support provided degrades and demoralises.  

great story but thats exactly what i said

"State dont provide support" thats the main problem and even tho you try too much to help these kids,there will be more kids who need support,but you and your charity cant do this much

there is state for this,they are responsible and you should fight them and not people who says charity is not the answer

Charity is the answer and people like the Vardys are to be admired.

The state will not change the way things are as they don't have the funds -simple.
