I thought that Homer lived in the UK, and that he was in employment?

If that is the case, then the answer is "Yes, in effect he does, as do I - 
in spades".  You seem to be quite oblivious as to how the system here works.

Now how about growing up a bit, moderating your silly, childish tirades, and 
learning a little of things outside Georgia?

Damp Fungal Sponge seems to be oblivious to most things, including decent 
human behaviour. Expecting him to grow up is like asking a pig not to 
fart at inappropriate moments.

Here's something a little more humorous than trying to make people look
like scum for supporting health charity with their taxes rather than by direct
contribution or volunteerism:

Yes.

> and that he was in employment?

No, I'm self-employed, after coming out of early retirement. I pay my 
own tax and NI contributions. For some 30 years I was employed or
self-employed through agencies, and paid tax and NI contributions
throughout all that time too - mostly at the higher rate, so there can
be no question of my contributions.

I also contribute heavily to charity, and give help to others on an ad
hoc basis, such as in this case. The contributions come out of my own
personal funds, and I don't apply for (and don't want) any tax breaks,
since AFAIAC that would be like "robbing Peter to feed Paul".

Not that I really think of it as "charity", mind you. AFAIAC it's a
moral obligation for me to at least /care/ about those who deserve some
compassion, and help when I can.  Any half-decent human being should
instinctively feel sympathy for the plight of other decent people, and
feel compelled to help them, without considering it a burden.

But DooFy doesn't qualify as half-decent, or frankly even human. He not 
only lacks any compassion, but has nothing but contempt for others and
their suffering, because they're not soulless, elitist, libertarian
money worshippers like him.

> Now how about growing up a bit

He doesn't need to grow up, he needs to crawl back into Hell.

IIRC, didn't someone once refer to DFS as a "money obsessed goon"?
Seems to fit him right enough.

Outside of Gawgya? Why, all that's out there is them coloreds and
ho-mo-sex-you-uls.

Inside, too.

I've been there. Believe me, they aren't all retards. But there are
more than enough to screw up a whole lot of the planet if they let too
many escape at once.

TAB could have been Doof's brother. Or his dad. Or his grandpa. Or all
three.

They must have a quite a few Gawgayans ridin' the short bus to schools in
that state, huh. ;-)
