"I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments"

In this quote, Emma Thompson reveals her issue with the term "charity" and rather chooses to refer to non-governmental organizations (NGOs). She believes that these organizations are typically burdened with the task of fulfilling moral and social obligations that need to be the duty of governments. Thompson recommends that federal governments should be taking a more active role in addressing social issues and providing help to those in requirement, instead of depending on NGOs to do the work. This quote highlights the significance of federal government accountability and the possible shortcomings of relying entirely on charitable companies to deal with social and ethical concerns.
