Is there a web site or something where one may learn what the bosses of
UK charities are paid?

Yes there is, the charitycommission web site. It shows how much money all
the limited companies registered as charities are moaning on about. Look at
how poor they all are, how much is paid out in wages and expenses etc.
That is why I will never give to charity - especially after learning a
childrens hospice were crying poverty but had £6million in the bank! I
would never give to the RSPCA either, they have millions and each part of
the limited company in different areas is registered as a charity. Even the
RNLI who also cry poverty are very wealthy, the same for others
A lot of con merchants will set up a limited company, register it as a
charity for tax purposes and use emotional blackmail to get people to part
with money. Very little of it goes to the actual "charity", most is taken
and provides a very good income.
All you need to make money is a company registered as a charity, then use
anything topical or emotional - for example, children, pets, injured
soldiers, pensioners or starving children abroad or in developing countries.
Use some horrible photos from a picture library, make up a load of rubbish
and target the right people in order to get maximum income.
Take 80% of the income as wages, expenses and administration, send 10% on
advertising and give 10% to the "charity".

No one ever questions what happens to money or assets charities have.

You can come up with as many excuses and research as you like but in reality
the only reason you never give to charity is simply because you're too
damned
tightfistd. You're mean, and selfish and want to keep all your
money for yourself. No other reason

Same with Frederick Williams. But in his case not only is he tight but
he's too damned lazy to do his own research in the hope of coming
up with a convincing excuse why he should hang on to all his money
as well.

Oxfam actually helps people while you two pathetice specimens sit
around all day trying to come up with excuses for your meanness. Anyone
can be mean if they want to be, just spare everyone the hypocrisy will
you ? Its enough to make a person vomit.

local partner organizations.
