Bold Rover Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 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. Thanks for the bump, Chris. So does anyone know what those Kids Company heroes actually did to prevent the carnage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Just heard her get a roasting from MPs on "Today in Parliament" (look, I'm not that sad, just couldn't be bothered changing the station after Rob Newman's comedy programme). Batman? Batshit more like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 It also gave an insight into some of Kids' Company's spending. Funded a woman in her thirties accommodation for over 10yrs. Ms Batmanghelis could never answer a straight question. She laughed her way through the programme in a disconcerting way. You wouldn't lend her a fiver far less "invest" tens of millions in her world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
