Captain Tom charities

Awful report

Shame when you can’t trust people running charities

It was obvious from the start to be fair. (The family, not him)

I should clarify it sounds like all the £35.9m went to the nhs it was subsequent book deals where there were issues but no crimes committed

I’m not sure I see an issue with that in principle (although says they blurred the lines between charity and self so presumably implied book profits would go to charity?) but why anyone would buy the books is a mystery to me. Obviously a pointless cash grab.

There is some weird shit going on with Children in Need as well.

I only donate to small animal charities to be honest. Some of these more well known ones have some funny practices.

They all have to spend to run and some of the bigger ones have bigger spends

best thing I was ever involved in cost peanuts to make a difference although quite a bit of time

A well known charity used to rent offices wear I used to work there were some questionable rumours about 2 of the main fundraisers salaries and lifestyle

So you support mice and voles, but not elephants or children?

The whole Captain Tom episode should have seen Britain closed for good.
