Should the world stop funding this corrupt shower? They even fired the guy that uncovered how bent it is! They want 15bn!. Is there any way of getting money to the worlds needy without unscrupulous lowlives ripping it off?

Question 1: Yes.
Question 2: No.

The first big contributor was Bill Gates who made a fortune out of selling piss poor knock off operating systems to gullible corporations, so there is some kind of justice in the world.

by far the biggest contributors gromit, are tax payers like you and me. Still not like you to bring irrelevant comment to a serious issue.

I assume you are a tax payer!

Did you watch the documentary, 3T, and is it worth watching? Most commentators about last weeks Panorama programme on the working practices at Amazon seemed largely indifferent to the claims made - so were the trails for this one hyperbolic?

In general though, we should definitely be concerned at evidence of corruption or just plain profiteering on the back of charitable endeavours, especially when it comes to handing out millions of taxpayer pounds.

Gates may have been a big contributor but he had no gain from it so not sure how the justice works Gromit? I guess you aer a die hard fan of the rip off Apple corp like most luvvies?

TTT, not sure if there is, especially when they have the EU to inspire them.

Yes and Yes LG, not surprising though pretty well all charity is bent to some degree.
