[the alarming man]

Charity is charity. Not a business. While on the one hand, if you want an effective charity, there comes a point where costs are involved and you have to pay people to do an effective job.

Reality there after though, becomes totally self interested. Front line staff, contributors and beneficiaries find themselves way down the priority list of self serving over paid ceo's who rarely earn less than 50kpa.

£50 k???... Not for oxfam in 2012/13 lady stocking was paid £119,560...now this money is from donations only as this person may well be very good at her job but she is working for a charity..how in gods name can you work for a charity and pull that sort of money out of it??

Yes, so that would be MORE than 50k, wouldn't it! Granted its a lot more, but still more, NOT LESS. As I said.

pscocoa posted a list of CEOs pay. Iirc there was one at 45 k all the rest where north of 50k.

I think we all agree, the colour of shite is definitely brown. If you want to know the exact shade there's colour swatches available at most diy stores.

My point was mainly that before presenting tear jerk scenes there should be an explanation as to why the situation is not being addressed by the aid community and the government of the country in question.
