Forgive me for repeating something what I wrote on the Politics forum yesterday about this saga….
A hypothetical question. Would a generation of fawning, idiotically gullible, wannabe 'progressive'/'inclusive' politicians, and easily-impressed media luvvies have rushed to lionize (and throw taxpayers money at) a company that called itself The UK Children's Support Organisation, if the public face of the company had been a British-born, white, 40-something man with a successful business background who wore a suit and tie? Personally I'd guess NO. More likely such a man would be investigated by the Paedo Squad. |

I’m not one for wage caps etc as a rule but I do think when it comes charities they should be under greater scrutiny than other companies with strict limits salaries and ‘consultancy fees’.

I like that article Dstyle. Now where else have I heard of someone in charge handing out other people's money like confetti to the feckless who don't give a tom t1t for the rest of society?
Oh yes, G. Brown for starters. |

By:

Meanwhile the govt is pursuing someone who owes them £7k for overpaid tax credits. It started off at only 1.5k but the punitive interest rate has pushed it higher due to their inability to pay.Told to me by a tax credit operator who is disgusted with UK govt.

Dave says it was the right decision to give them another 3m of our money. Would have been better off sticking it on a moneytree tip

She must have a serious psychological problem to keep eating to what looks like 22 stones.

This mess just shows why we should always be sceptical about sentimental argument staking precedence over basic common sense, the politicians and media fell for her apparent sincerity but ignored her managerial ineptitude. And now we move onto Corbynmania.

By:
kids given £100 a week to pay off their drug dealers????
private school fees paid for the children of all the staff at Kids Company????? Anyone who helps out at a charity or voluntary organisation must be speechless - most struggle to get a pittance in funding whilst the government throws millions at this bunch of inept clowns rotten to the core |
|
By:
Has any 'progressive' MP yet asked how the poor drug dealers are managing to get by, now that one of their usual solid reliable cash-cows has gone?

The bbc news report on this is gone.
I went for news, didnt find it, went for uk news didnt find it, went for english news and not found it. Did this big news story happen in the last week ? |
