So Barnardo’s, Forces Children’s Trust and Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity
have taken about £933,000 from NoTW, and I pause to wonder if an act becomes less
immoral the larger the amount of money involved? http://bit.ly/nIAYc8

As a consultancy we have drafted and agreed dozens of “Acceptance of funds policies”
for charities, not one of which would failed to raise a question mark over this 
blinding obvious attempt by News International to launder its guilt in hacking into
Milly Dowler’s mobile phone , deleting messages and contributing to the agony of
her parents by offering money to charities and choosing two children’s charities
and to a hospital that treats soldiers in a slick appeal to patriotism.

 

 

 

Yes, all three charities are great causes but they have damaged their reputations
and public standing by taking these funds, if the indignation in my in-box is anything
to go by.

PS I would be more impressed by Wendy Deng if she had given both the Murdochs a 
smack round the head…
