This is new.
Are you now accusing Children in Need, the BBC, their Auditors, the Charity Commission etc. - of directing the funds to recipients, other than children's charities?
CERTAINLY NOT, Mary !
Far be it for me etc ... but YOU seem unable to say where any of this £900m has gone, dont you?
Yet again, you will be unable to name any such recipient - but, of course, its so easy to say the money has been wasted and that the whole effort is a waste of time.
But I HAVE SHOWN how spurious the claims process is - by a link to the site - showing that you can claim salaries etc etc
I have a much better idea, Mary ... I see the Countryfile Calendar (priced at £9) is now on sale in WH Smith. On TV they say either £4 or £5 (cant remember which) will go "direct" to the charity (ie direct to the fund that pays salaries etc).
Why not buy a nice Help The Aged calendar (good value at £2.99, and twice the size of the Countryfile calendar) then you can also send £5 direct to a charity and still be £1 in pocket !
Alternatively, The Works have some nice calendars too (again twice the size of the Countryfile calendar - and many have a free quality A5 diary as well). These too are only £2.99 - or 3 for £6 !!!
(btw ... My fact-finding mission to Tahiti is still on, Mary - do you want to sponsor me?, after all it is for charidee !) |

But was this a 'spurious project' ITK?
And does your medical qualification allow you to diagnose from your armchair?
Yes ... and Yes !
CIN has been running for appx 30 years, and each year claims to raise about £30M ... thats £900,000,000 ... can you name ONE project that I may think was not a waste of money?
Just where has all this money gone?????
But then again, Mary - just as with Lottery funding - its YOUR money and if you want to waste it ...... |

With you all the way on this ITK...and to add insult to injury just went on Youtube,and that annoying advert at the start was 'childline'! |

..including New Zealand where ITK would be horrified !!..more entitlements than you can imagine ! 
We've been there before, Hedda-tas !
All depends on structure etc and when we checked before the benefits were nowhere near as good as you claimed !
(but I may be in Palmerston North next year - where one of my ancestors was actually Matron of the local hospital - so I'll check for myself) |
