Philomena Cunk on Charity | Comic Relief

[@martynpank]

"How do we know that if we give a load of money to starving people, that they are not gonna blow it all on food"? Epic!

[@weswheel4834]

Lol, I hadn't spotted the way the question ended the first time I watched it, thanks for that. @WolvoExPunk1: if someone gives a pound to charity and half of that pound goes towards flash cars and houses for corrupt leaders, but the other half gets spent on food for someone that is really hungry, was it worth giving that pound or not?

[@sarahl3721]

Yeah, you're the butt of that joke.

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

I think we understand today some of the children's charity money goes on prostitution, what a wonderful world.

[@dougie1968]

Richard mentioned an intermediary. How much of the donated money goes into the intermediary's bank account before any of it is spent on the food the intermediary is supposed to distribute amongst the starving?

[@martynpank]

@@dougie1968 Probably not as much as we would like.....But, this is about Philomena Cunk, not politics.

[@loafersheffield]

Mother Theresa was not a friend of the poor, she was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God.

[@loafersheffield]

She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. And she was a friend to the worst of the rich, taking misappropriated money from the atrocious Duvalier family in Haiti (whose rule she praised in return) and from Charles Keating of the Lincoln Savings and Loan. Where did that money, and all the other donations, go? The primitive hospice in Calcutta was as run down when she died as it always had been she preferred California clinics when she got sick herself and her order always refused to publish any audit. www.indiatoday.in/india/story/meet-the-man-who-called-mother-teresa-a-fraud-and-a-fanatic-1283848-2018-07-12
