[Nebuchadnezzar]

A must have for the women in your lives....

I thought at the time that they only filmed him doing the odd length of his yard and he wasn’t doing all those hours of walking they claimed he was.

I don’t think captain Tom would have been on the fiddle. He was a bit too old school for that.

That’s quite disturbing. Is there no depth they won’t plumb?

Kids Company was mismanaged, Charity Commission finds

Kids Company repeatedly failed to pay tax and workers, a report by the Charity Commission finds.

Same treatment as the CC tried to impose on Kid's Company's trustees would seem apt, if they have been fraudulent.

Would see them banned from acting as company directors or trustees of any organisations, including their own consultancy firms.

Is it much different from fraudulently raising money by shaking donation boxes for bogus organisations?

No it isn’t. Chuggers get a bad rep for creaming “costs” off the top of your donation - at the least some parallels here.

I do get if I asked you to do something for my charity and it impacted your ability to earn whilst doing that I would compensate you. So let’s hope this is all above board - it’s such a high profile charity it could really dent the confidence of people to donate to other causes if any wrong doing is found.

Yeah but I bet the old roister doister took a few shortcuts.

I thought at the time that they only filmed him doing the odd length of his yard and he wasn’t doing all those hours of walking they claimed he was.

I watched live footage of him finishing his walk, the cameras were there with a lap to go and one of the crew asked him if he could 'go over the line as if it was the 100th lap' even though he had one lap to go. He told them in no uncertain terms that 'if he was doing the walk - he was going to do it properly'.
I reckon that Sir Captain Tom was as straight as a die.

If I’d have donated, I’d want my money back now.

I'm sure he was but even I couldn't keep track of how many laps I'd done if it was me doing it, at nearly half his age, so would be relying on others. 1, 2, 6, 17, 28, 100 .. done it!

Didn't he pretty much get ill and die from an all expenses paid trip to the carribean with his entire family that didn't seem remotely like his idea?(he was 100 ffs)

The family seemed shady as he'll from the start, milking his good deeds for whatever they could get
