Busybody bullies and fumbling morons
There's some, er, plain speaking from Stefanie Marsh in The Times (scroll down), responding to an article by Alison Wolf about "the decline of female altruism."
Rosie has been a volunteer herself, but doesn't think much of it.
There are a few saints working on the community projects where I live but there are also a lot of busybody bullies and fumbling morons. Log on to www.do-it.org.uk, Britain's volunteering resource centre [run by YouthNet], and you will find all sorts of vacancies aimed at the bored or underqualified who, like the generations of women Wolf praises for their selflessness, would like to do something else.
Crikey. Having a bad day, Stefanie?
