Lately there seem to be a lot of stories of charity bosses,or accountants, being caught fiddling the books. I’ve just read about some old crook in charge of the finances of a hospice who’d helped himself to £100k plus over several years.
How much money must these charities have washing about that nobody notices huge amounts of money being misappropriated? How naive must the trustees be to not notice these thefts?
Perhaps the fact that so many charities are now nothing more than businesses has something to do with it? The days of a dedicated group working for the benefit of others have been replaced,at the top,by Corporate types who run charities for the benefit of themselves and their cohorts.I wonder how many ex-bankers and financial “experts” are involved in the charities where malfeasance is routinely overlooked..probably because they’re involved in worse themselves.
Too many people seem to do very well out of charities,by legal means or not. I don’t trust charities and am very select in any donation that I make. Everyone should be fer more suspicious before handing their money over,in too many cases the money is just lining some crook’s pockets.

Crowdfunding’s getting very big, thanks to the ease with which the mark can transfer his bank balance to your account on his iphone. To benefit from this, you need to be the middleman – always a sound principle. You set up a website and invite some charities to advertise there, ideally paying a little something if they’re mug enough (charitable people often are). And you set up a Paypal account to collect the donations you have now diverted from the original charity to your account; subtract the Paypal fee and 5-10% of the total for your, er, administrative exes, and pass the rest to the charity. Value added on a website! Beats the hell out of flogging Chinese plastic toys on Ebay, doesn’t it?
Note, charities specialising in adorable cats, cute hedgehogs and baby otters are particularly good, rare-breed pigs not so.

Walked on a guy’s 69ft yacht and as you walked down the first stairway was a big polished brass plaque that said ‘Fuck the Poor’ he explained that he started with nothing, nobody ever helped him. Every time he tried to help the poor directly rather than through sponging cunts they eventually bit the hand that was feeding them. Well have to say I have had similar experience. Those unfortunate due to health I give to but heathy healthy cunts ‘ Fuck the Poor’
