It really is highlighting the narrow-minded parochial worldview of a worryingly large number of Brits. Imagine getting up in arms because 2% of their budget is spent on international causes. I doubt many of the angry white people on social media even donated to them anyway, their charity begins at home ethos is usually pretty literal. Our society is horribly divided and sadly it seems to be the inward-looking, mean-spirited bunch that are winning the culture war.
Some of the comments on this tweet are illustrative of the outrage:
In response to the @MailOnline & @thetimes:we are proud of our international work. Its saves (mostly kids') lives. And we haven't kept it secret - it's in our annual report, on our website and in the media. We spend just 2% of our expenditure on this work: https://t.co/STztOxG1OP
Plenty more decent people standing up for them too, which is good to see. I think there is probably a lot more bile on the comments on the original story by the Mail but I can't be doing with that level of gammonista faux moral indignation.
I don't see the need for it to be 'angry white people', I am increasingly finding people of all colours and creeds are just as bad on stuff like this.
But the key is, people complaining about something they don't donate to - if they really don't like this policy then move your donation elsewhere, that's what they should be told - because 99% of them won't donate anyway
Yes, but in our society you can get away with comments like that

A quick scan of Facebook and twitter threads suggests that angry white people is the key demographic expressing outrage at a small amount of money helping furreners.

Have you tried them with a nob of butter and a light dusting of sugar?
I knew a chap who used to have golden syrup drizzled on his, it never made sense to me as yorky puds are for the sole purpose of delivering brex... Sorry, delivering gravy to one's gob.

My grandad used to have them cold with jam which I always found odd.

I should imagine that stemmed from an era of having to make feast from famine, much like the bread and dripping and what have you. Needless to say I certainly wouldn't fancy that myself.

"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."
