I do contribute on a regular basis to several charities but detest the phone calls and junk mail, most of which I am sure is as a result of the charities which I do support selling on their lists as a means of creating income.. I consider it moral blackmail as I am provided with pictures of starving children, rescued dogs, endangered elephants, lions and gorilla to name just a few. If I were to contribute the £2 or £3 a month which is all they are asking I could easily use up most of my meagre income and find myself in need of charitable help. I feel strongly that there should be some form of legislation to prevent all this
