there were plenty of government reports that millions were hived off Live Aid funds in rorts, scams, African government crooks, trucking companies, suppliers and so on.
JK tells the truth and it can be backed up : there is only a certain amount of charity dollars and these days that is why they have highly paid professional fundraisers, slick advertising to tug at your heart strings and so on.
One charity's gain is most certainly another's loss. Sad but true.
( I love to be charitable but I never under any circumstances- give to any organisation that has paid workers. Never ever.)
## The Red Cross still hold hundreds of millions of $$$ donated to the Haitian in 2010.
I feel exactly the same about paid charity workers, Hedda.
It just feels very wrong to me. |

Again this is another one of the expressions that people use when talking about accused sex offenders.
As I've said I think you are applying double standards and are being very selective in the arguments you are making. |

No; people trying to do good works are absolutely fine and welcome to contribute to society. But let's not be blind to the realities, the potential repercussions and the motivations. I'm against condemning anyone but I'm in favour of suggesting alternative approaches to the accepted wisdom which, frequently, goes for the most simple solution. |
