THE Salvation Army sent me two begging letters saying it needed my help and could I send £19 so a poor pensioner could have a nice Christmas.

I'm 82 years old. Nobody helps me; all I get is being sponged off and robbed.

What's in it for me? All my life I've been discriminated against because I'm single. Single people don't matter. So why should I help anyone? Why is it supposed single people are better off? I'm a hardship case, so poor I do not pay income tax on an annual income of under £7,500.

I can manage because I'm not always in the pub.

People much younger than me end up in care homes, deprived of food and water by bullying staff who don't earn their money.

The Salvation Army should earn its money. I could offer them a couple of jobs which might take one-and-a-half hours. I'd pay them £20 for that, or maybe they are great believers in something for nothing?

    “The Salvation Army deserve all the funds they receive and more.”

    “I wonder if these begging letters were specifically addressed to the occupant or if they were just part of a blanket junk mail delivery in the area.”
