Davkaus Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Ah, the long con. well played you scumbags. As if the free trip to Barbados in lockdown wasn't enough. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/captain-tom-foundation-charity-daughter-b2018320.html Quote A charity set up in the name of Captain Sir Tom Moore tried to appoint the fundraiser’s daughter as its CEO on a six-figure salary before a watchdog intervened to block the move, The Independent understands. The Captain Tom Foundation – at the centre of a Charity Commission regulatory compliance case – found itself under scrutiny last week after accounts revealed it had paid thousands of pounds to firms run by the late veteran’s daughter and son-in-law. Now The Independent has been told that part of the watchdog’s case related to a request from the foundation to appoint Hannah Ingram-Moore as its CEO on a salary worth about a tenth of its total first-year income. It is understood that the charity – established in May 2020 after the former army officer raised £39m for NHS charities – wanted to pay her in the region of £150,000 for the role. The figure represents 13.68 per cent of the charity’s total first-year income. It is understood that the proposal to hand her the role was made by trustees without a recruitment campaign or competition. All makes sense why some old boy wandering up and down his garden had a PR agency now doesn't it? I wonder how much they coerced him.

I wonder how much they coerced him. I would imagine the number of 'charities' that manage to make people associated to the people in charge of it rather wealthy would be very large. Not to say many charities are dodgy, or bad by any means I just imagine there's a decent amount of money out there making people running or assisting them a decent wedge.

sidcow Posted February 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2022 I always remember as a kid my Public School educated father getting incandescent, as angry as I've seen him, about my elder brothers Comprehensive school teacher using a split infinitive when marking his homework. I still don't fully understand what one is and I had literally zero understanding what he was raving about at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Why do partners think you wake up in the middle of the night to watch something, so they hope you answer the incessant questions they ask while you're actually watch it together?

I still don't fully understand what one is and I had literally zero understanding what he was raving about at the time. It's putting a word in between "to" and the verb, the classic example being Star Trek's famous "to boldly go". According to the 'rule', it should be "to go boldly", or even "boldly to go". In other news, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
