A vicious attack on freedom by left wing columnist Polly Toynbee:

Charity is mostly a social good in itself, but it is no substitute for the state. It's an add-on: free-wheeling, often innovative, sometimes a beacon showing how to do things better, with ideas to lead the state sector. But it is minute compared to the welfare state. Rightwing thinktanks that claim the welfare state has stunted Victorian voluntarism conveniently forget how little health, welfare or education charities ever delivered

My opinion:
