Supports what I've claimed here before about the fatuity of giving to charity - Indirectly you're simply handing your cash over to the Government, and now hopefully this is blatantly obvious.

You are quite correct. This is not a case of "ZaNuLabour" raiding your pockets, fun though it might be to pretend so. It is merely the Treasury applying International Accounting Standard 27, in order for the accounts to reflect the reality.

Giving to any charity that does work that the government should be doing, is simply giving to the government. Nothing new about that.

The astonishing thing is that people in this country let the government get away with it.
