Nobody warned me ... that annual night of trash to "reward" "people in need".
Do the sums ... its been running 30 years and every year they "claim" to raise £30 million
... there are NO children in need - they are all millionaires !

My only complaint is that celebs saying 'donate' whilst they are sitting on millions and have millions in off shore accounts.
BBC is funded by extortion from the public by the Capita goons and scaremongering from TVL.
Mr Norton how about give up all your millions you have got and give it to CIN, it be more than everything that's been donated for 30 years by the public.
And that goes for all BBC staff also.

Thats very sad ... but can you kindly explain how filling Greggs' counter with plastic rubbish (which all needs paying for !) helps?
It does help Greggs profits though !!!!

Sir Terry was also paid almost £10,000 for presenting BIN ?

Yes. I wouldn't have the cheek to ask others for money while I was taking it myself.
The point of most well known charities is to create a business, and helping people (if it even happens) is a sideline.

In November 2006, Intelligent Giving published an article about Children in Need, which attracted wide attention across the British media. The article, titled "Four things wrong with Pudsey", described donations to Children in Need as a "lazy and inefficient way of giving" and pointed out that, as a grant-giving charity, Children in Need would use donations to pay two sets of administration costs. It also described the quality of some of its public reporting as "shambolic"
