cuts to charities

i think the Big Society lable is a misnoma tbh - i don' think that is the argument at all here. the argument is simply that poor people are getting incresingly screwed, and the govt are taking away any support and therefore right of appeal.

Why should the government be funding charities in the first place? Doesn't that go against the whole idea of charities?

Unlike government departments, charities still have the option to get extra funding elsewhere. In the spirit of 'big society' I would expect those in charge of charities to be petitioning big business and individuals to make up the shortfall. It is not a 'war on the poor'
