Re: Ex-Mayor in charity storm.
I wondered if all those organisations were his nominated charities at the end of the year, did the 10% top up that he gave them come out of the £10k that he raised through more conventional methods?
So if that's the case they raised about £80k which they put into his charity fund. He then nominated them as his charities and gave them back the money that they put in plus the 10%. I don't know if that's what happened which is why I'd be interested to know who his nominated charities were this year.
I suppose, at the end of the day, the money will go to charity in one way or the other. So, I guess the only way it's sort of misleading is that he didn't raise the money himself in the traditional way.
