Charity Shops

The dirty truth behind what happens to that dress you give to a charity shop: Donating rarely worn clothes might give us a virtuous glow - but this devastating account reveals how it can wreck the lives of the very people we think it helps.

If this is even half true I'm beyond appalled, only between ten and 30 per cent of second-hand donations to charity shops are resold in store. The rest disappears into a vast sorting apparatus to be graded and sold on to commercial partners, often for export.

It's no bloody wonder that the heads of these charities are paid monumental salaries and, these bastards know that the gullible public will keep on donating year in and year out. I've stopped all charity donations today and I've been giving them my money for 20 bloody years or more, totally bleeding pissed off with them.
