Sadly it is yet again the time of year when the British Nation is force fed 1970s style crap entertainment in a bid to get them to cough up dough for ‘Children in Need’.
The idea is to induce an overwhelming sense of pity and to foster the idea that children (soon to be adults) can only survive if other people are kind enough.
Hear it from disability nation.
And I am pretty much loving the piss on pity approach on these T shirts. It is definitely worth browsing through this site.
The BBC tv programme Children in Need has been running annually for 24 years. That is a heartsinking number of crap tv programmes the nation has had to endure. Its mascot is a teddy bear, ‘Pudsey’ which has a patch over one eye. (Poor Pudsey has a bad eye.)
Pudsey’s time is definitely up.
Thanks to Zombizi for the links. (He has been making bad situations worse, since 1963).
And finally … doesn’t this woman know that you can get loyalty points if you use your own bags in Tesco now?
I know re: Bags but I always forget so I am WITH THE WOMAN on this one.
Re: Children in need my children are actually Children in need being Hackney children and sometimes take taken by city people for Christmas lunch as living in Hackney they never have proper food.
This is v. g. and teaches me about healthy eating as ofcourse otherwise they only eat crisps.
