“At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge, … it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.”

Yep… hate these dipshits.
You beat me to it

Isn’t that “day ending with Y” with this sort?
time to trot out ye olde canarde
