There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye.

belfast city centre, gone to pot

category antrim | consumer issues | opinion/analysis author Saturday October 01, 2005 23:08author by rattle your tins elsewhere - make poverty collectors obselete Report this post to the editors

give it a rest

Belfast city centre, tin rattlers are wrecking it for people who want to shop!!!

I may be cited slated and dehumanised as a monster or a cummudgen. But Belfast city centre must be the tin rattling capital of Europe. Lately thing's have gotten worse.
You can't move 10 yards without being assaulted by a charity collector. There is no problem with different charities being on the same street, and i do give of my own free will. But the make poverty dissapear and everyone gets a bunny rabbit campaign or whatever it's called which took place in septemeber really took the piss!!!..
They put me off going into shops as they roamed the streets in their hundreds!!. They could make more money putting collection tins into the shops people frequent..I'm sure i'm not the only one who feels like this.
But on a more important note why don't the clipboard holding market research wasters do everyone a favour and just fuck off!!!...Its warm i'm tired, i'm trying to shop kids are screaming everywhere my head is done in. And some asshole wants to ask me a few questions. I actually preferred the city centre when i was being searched at checkpoints and being tapped by wino's every 10 minutes.
.....
I mean like c'mon fer facks sake i can't even go into gresham street for a wank mag without being approached by market researchers, or help the aged
