@@speakeasy3333 By law a charity has to give at least 3% after that you can out everything on expenses. There was a family run charity for children with cancer I can't mind what you call it but when they did actually donate to sick children with cancer they were buying them cheap plastic toys, I wonder how that helps a sick child. Just go look at all the top charities and see how much they actually give, the most I have seen a charity ever give was 11% and that's considered good. Type in wateraid scam charity, that's an eye opener, the CEO owns the company that wateraid buys the cheap Chinese Wells from and he charges wateraid and extortionate amount for crap Wells. They are all at it, when a charity needs more than 30% to operate it is no longer a charity its a business.

I knew what they were up to when Cpt Tom bought a book out which was a number 1 bestseller. It was printed at breakneck speed. The book referenced his marriage and his sex life. His wife no longer wanted sex so he had an affair. What 99 year old man would want these things known by the world? I thought then it had been written by someone else who put Toms name to it. Where did the money for this go? Sadly, when money is involved people turn into savages even against their own family. I'm sure the Commissions findings will unleash a whole can of worms.

Look, forty million quid came from Sir Tom Moore's majestical effort in his very last years on earth, absolutely fantastic. He also decided he would write his books in order to provide a future for his family, exactly what I would have done in those circumstances. There were some distinctly ambiguous words used and misused in relation to the promotion of the book, presumably compiled by those who were paid to promote it e.g. publisher's, PAs, etc. The family only have to answer to the charity commission as regards the ethics and law regarding the proper management of the charity.
