Hillonearth Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Given the ridiculous crime rates in Gotham (and a higher rate of super villains per head of population than most cities), I'm sure the ordinary citizen has more pressing concerns than trying to figure out Batman's true identity. Still not as bad as Hollyoaks. Life expectancy there is about 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Still not as bad as Hollyoaks.Life expectancy there is about 22. My girlfriend recently commented that 4 members of the same family had been murdered in separate incidents in the last couple of years there. Sounds like an unlucky place to live tbh.

Miguel Sanchez Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I had the news on the other day with women who had benefited from the charity in some way on talking. One of them said they helped their sprog by buying it the appropriate trainers so it could go to school without being beaten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 "I'm getting bulled because I've got shit trainers" "Here, have £100 for some new trainers" Got to be honest here, that doesn't seem like the best anti-bullying strategy. Here's some more articles about the fallout of Kids Company. http://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/clients-and-workers-describe-havoc-at-kids-company http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11788079/Kids-Companys-Camila-Batmanghelidjh-How-we-fell-for-this-matriarch.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11788923/Kids-Company-boss-Camila-Batmanghelidjh-turned-HQ-into-private-Aladdins-den.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 The whole story brings up for debate the whole idea of "charity" and its place in caring services. Kids Company seems to me to have been a multimillion pound business which privately sold its services to public authorities but did it badly and lost its customer ie the public purse. Why aren't the public bodies, governed by elected representatives, employing their own staff to provide whatever it was that Kids Company did? (I'm still not clear what that was.)

ICTChris Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Alan Yentob had a bit of a moment on Channel 4 News - http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/aug/07/pressure-alan-yentob-kids-company-loses-cool-on-channel-4-news Going on about "we passed all our audits!" kind of misses the point.

ICTChris Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I read another article on Spiked which I thought had an interesting take on it - Camilla Batmanghelidjh had an analysis of problem youth that spoke to a conservative view. Feral children, abandoned by parents, running wild. She also spoke at length about the biological nature of youth crime problems, a rather Victorian concept. The remedies put forward, however, spoke to a liberal, almost new-age audience - yoga, psychotherapy, hug-a-hoodie. Sorry for the bump but a jaw-dropping document has been released. Kids Company wrote to government ministers saying that if the charity was closed it would be the equivelent of the death of a parent and that the charity's clients would descend into savagery, with a high risk of looting and arson attacks on government buildings. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34043725 What a view of the children the charity purported to support - helpless savages whose first instinct would be to violence. It's right out of the 19th century. Interestingly I haven't seen any rioting since they shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
