In case you're thinking... 10 Years, 9 Months ago  
... about donating to a children's charity, and aren't sure which one not to donate to, it's the BBC one, apparently.

The Charity Commission says 91% of BBC Children in Need's money is spent on charitable activities.

"charitable activities" covers a multitude of sins.

As for MWT questioning anything- he charges 1000s to give a lecture on "child safety" but clearly as 100s of millions are flowing to these 'charities" he is hopeless and so are they.

Especially in a country riddled with neglect.
