Third Sector’s amusing Paper round section today included a good example of how 
not to praise a charity.

 

Ex-Spandau Ballet member Gary Kemp praised Amnesty International but only by knocking
all other animal charities. Third Sector quotes Pandora, The Independent’s gossip
column: “There is so much emphasis on animal welfare with charity these days. It
just doesn’t appeal to me, unlike Amnesty. Its work is a whole lot more important
than fluffy animals.”
