She's been on the grift from the start.

Not pointing any finger but where there's money there's dodgy fookers.

Remember Eric Cantona claiming £90K "expenses" for attending the Munich disaster fundraising game.
Players and families received £42K each.....

Would wish she'd f&ck off, she is like shit in a field. Another opportunist making money off the back of the pandemic.

I suppose people have different levels of acceptability, different moral standards.

Maybe I’m missing something but just read this in the piece :-
The Charity Commission, which is an independent, non-ministerial government department, said: "We have been in ongoing contact with the trustees of the Captain Tom Foundation on its set-up and governance arrangements and as part of this work will now assess the charity's recently submitted accounts."
It said it had an open regulatory compliance case into the charity, but that did not mean it had made any finding of wrongdoing.

Some revealing quotes in this interview she gave. I wonder how many laps the poor fella had done before the pound signs started flashing.

Some people called this from the start, grim as fuck.

Correct, they have thus far not found any wrongdoing but the accounts have only been out a few days. The eye brow raiser is that they spent over £126k on consultancy fees for fundraising. They mention using The philanthropic company but it doesn’t indicate if that was their invoice in full that makes it up.

The other bits about spending £37k on setup costs including £5k for the website and £500 for photos and the such all going to the family I don’t think is a problem. They might have been a bit heavy with the prices but they aren’t crazy and it all needed setting up at the outset so folks could give.

Hopefully no wrong doing is uncovered because it would be a terrible end to his legacy. I don’t see the BBC running a story like this - against a so called “national treasure” -unless there was something to question.
