May make it more watchable depending on who is replacing him but not if it is Graham Norton.

It's Dermott O'Leary taking over.

Thats good a great improvement all round.

It was romoured he made millions from it allegedly.It put me off giving. Good old Terry ,such a nice bloke. He got caught and denied he knew nothing about it allegedly.

It is a little disapppointing isn't it? I read somewhere that they also have something like 10-15 full time staff just on CiN who are on £100,000+ it does just take away from it a lot as you feel what is the point?

I know is is the same with all charities and that they all need to be run by someone competent. Maybe it is just my 21st century being angry/cautious/distrusting of absolutely everything!

So you can donate a fiver or whatever but they have to donate there whole salary. Sounds fair to me.!

I'm not saying pay them nothing! I am no animal

They can have £12,000 a year like I did when I was a temp at yellow pages

 

[Poyningsgull]

If they are on 100k then I guess they are a bit higher than a temp at yellow pages. This whole thing is based on something you "read somewhere"

Rightly or wrongly, the Kids Company fiasco has made me deeply suspicious of these huge charitable organisations, where multi-multi millions of pounds are swashing about. The people involved at the top often seem to be boarding highly lucrative gravy trains.

Then I hope you will be voting to leave the EU n the referendum.

I know of one manager at the Royal British Legion who is being paid £2,000 a week (plus expenses). Not even a Director - a manager.

I find that depressing.

Thank God I'm out tonight, O'Dreary saps my will to live.

Not sure I follow. How would us being out of the EU have prevented the industrial-scale snout-in-the-trough theft of public funds at Kids Company from happening then ?

I know a Dutch winger probably on 5 times that and he is not even a manager.!!

Indeed. I found out that The Salvation Army spends 74% of its charitable income on administration etc, and they are only marginally the worst case.

England game on the other side

Ann evening down the pub for that. Jobs a goodun.

I knew a fund raiser at the private hospital in Midhurst who lived in France and worked a lived at the hospital Mon to Thursday lunch and was on a fantastic wage selling fundraising tickets.then went back to France Thursday lunch time. Her husband took orders for duty frees tobacco and drinks and brought them over on Monday with them.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Brilliant, isn't it? Up until he got outed by a Freedom of Information request by the press Wogan spent 30 years happily trousering £1500 / hour for hosting Children in Need and getting slowly pissed on a Friday night. Meanwhile, little Johnny and Jessica's up and down the country are sellotaping their 50p pocket money to postcards and sending them into the BBC, whilst genial Tel rocks up and down on his toes, and gently urges us all to donate whatever we can.

What a cock.

Not quite. From their latest accounts.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

For 16 years I was treasurer of a charity. Ran it with a rod of iron. Committee expenses only. Second class. No hospitality dinners. The buggers hated me for it, but they were all to lazy to stand for election to replace me. Before you know it the volunteers are up before a disciplinary panel for risking a lawsuit for constructive dismissal for having the temerity for criticise an employee. Meanwhile the children remain in need.

Oh, I must have been wrong or an urban myth!

Does that state they spent £3million on salaries? Seems bizarre if the salary bands are then as they state below

I am very dim at reading these sort of documents though so apologise if I look daft
