Pretty damning report. The amount going to lawyers and the groups running the charities is incredible. Wonder how the UK charities compare?

I work in catering and the amount of dinners we have done for charity's, which they have spent a bomb, is incredible, I even remember when I was working at withdean and a woman doing a collection for Albion in the community, emptied the buckets, and used that money to pay 8 kids all burgers and chips....which I thought was shocking!
