Dickens Twist: Please sir, I want some more empathy

  The author supports Isabelo, chef Margot Janse’s charity which feeds school children every day. Please support them . Charles Dickens would have been a bleeding heart liberal if he’d lived in our times. Rarely has a writer possessed as much empathy with the common man, the underdog, the have-nots who walk past the big houses on their way back to the slum they call home. Dickens would have been all over Maverick Citizen, a key member of the Treatment Action Campaign, would have sung at LiveAID and thrown a “food, glorious food” refrain into We Are The World, and pestered Geldof and Bono to urge that more be done for all the Tiny Tims of the planet; Tiny Tim being the sickly child whose father Bob Cratchit was in the employ of Ebenezer Scrooge, literature’s most infamous miser and money counter.
