We can't help everyone and we have enough problems of our own - I don't think younger people really understand the extent of the crises in the hospitals and social care because these are usually issues more likely to affect people as they get older and as their parents become in need of a lot of care.

They are full of idealism about helping others in need without appreciating just how many people here need help. We need to cut our overseas budget to help our own and should not feel guilty about it, never mind being made to feel guilty about giving even more to charities. The world's problems are not our responsibility. We do help, a lot, but there comes a point ....
