I’m no fan of hers, but that’s the Daily Mail, I’d take it with a huge sack of salt.

I'm happy to wait til next year and have a look at the charity commission accounting report....

 

I'm not for betting as a general rule, and acknowledging the potential bias from the source info, what odds would you give that it's 'fake news?'  (If you actually come up with some odds I'll have to ask Mr E what it means...)

 

As an aside, if I set up a charity for kids of 1 specific racial demographic, to the exclusion of all others, would that make me a racist?

If you set up a charity to help rich children of Tory voting parents further their careers!
Then I might question your motive old boy[emoji848].

Mull, mucker, I’m neither rich (by financial measure - I am rich in love, life and happiness) nor Tory voting, nor, what I think you might mean by ‘old boy’ - in the network sense - I hate (significant parts of the ‘establishment’ (not so much other parts) and much of what it stands for. 

 

What I hate more is lies, agendas, double standards and self serving hypocracy - that which could realistically be summed up as the sort of champagne socialism spouted by the likes of Sir Jonny 2 Jags, Bob (6 figure salary but I’m entitled to a Council house and Brazilian beach holiday) Crow and my all time favourite, I’ll send my kids to private school but keep the red flag flying and spend all but a fraction of my sham racist charity money on a piss up, Baboon Abbot....

 

That said, I’m probably amongst the least charitable people you might ever happen across so not too much danger of you having to question my motives anytime soon.

 

 I would however, highlight the obvious differences between charity and hospitality / generosity - I like to think I’m moderately better endowed in the latter characteristics.... ?

Well, I think you’ve just summed up absolutely EVERYONE on arbtalk[emoji38](or so they’d like to think)

(Or Maybe you’ve pointed out that we are a fecked up messed up country that has no idea which direction to head in! Bit like the good old US of A!

Now, lets be clear 2 and 3 were poor and this new one looks terrible but dissing the 1st Crocodile Dundee? 

 

I cannot get my head around what a joyless sanctimonious plonker this journalist must be.

They are living in a bubble that is populated only by other joyless sanctimonious plonkers.  Meanwhile, in the real world..... the ability to laugh in the face of adversity goes from strength to strength with every joyless sanctimonious plonker that seeks to inflict their views upon us! (maniacal laugh....)

In certain circles, folks will be nodding their heads and agreeing with all the criticisms in that article.

 

worrying ain't it?

 

 

[eggsarascal]

Let's hope they are ever decreasing circles.

 

Yes it is worrying.

So where does it end? I was watching clips of Little Britain the other day, I was reading somewhere that Matt Lucas said they’d never get away with the two bad transvestites these days, that’s what, 10 years ago?
