Nothing enforces how much charity is fully intertwined with Capitalism like the way Children In Need use disabled children in their marketing, truly. I am guilty of watching this programme with tears in my eyes in the past, years ago, and gawd is it ever manipulative of the emotions of the viewer.

Imagine if we lived in a world where it was just expected that children should get the food they need to survive instead of being paraded around as objects of pity as a way to distract from a system set up to allow people to literally go without the most basic needs.
