HeadingNorth Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 And no, we can't prove that the presenters/celebrities don't get paid to take part, it's not something anyone's ever going to admit to is it? Doesn't mean they don't though, just depends on what you want to believe. You can't prove that you're not a child molester, but that's no reason why I should accuse you of being one.

Agent Orange Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Even if presenters/entertainers are paid then the beeb will fund that out of their wage remit. Anything they raise goes straight to the charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rioja Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Never thought I would agree with Gordon, but hey I do! I wouldn't ever donate to that. I don't mind the cause and don't begrudge those who are helped by it, I just can't stand the mawkishness of it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Pay z list celebrities? Any proof of this? As far as i know they do it for free/publicity/public goodwill. Apparently, only Wogan receives a fee. Have you heard of Baby P? Children in Need didn't prevent that either. Never thought I would agree with Gordon, but hey I do! I guess it's inevitable if you post on here long enough (statistical probabilities and all that). Even if presenters/entertainers are paid then the beeb will fund that out of their wage remit. What's a wage remit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TylerXIII Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I can never believe that they can do more good from the coppers in my pockets than I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadact Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't have a problem with it, other than the same self satisfied faces appearing every year showing how wonderfully giving of their time they are, and the fact that they always have to beat last year's total - why? Isn't £20,000,000 enough, and the fact that there are many other worthwhile causes that don't get a look in on the BBC, but their own charity gets hundreds of free hours airtime over its various channels and radio stations - would far happier donate to the Kids Scanner Appeal on Radio Sheffield than to Children in Need nationally Apart from that I don't have a problem with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960boy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I won't fork out a bean, especially since i came across this from 2004. I'll bet nothing has changed. http://www.stormfront <BROKE LINK> .org/forum/showthread.php?t=159990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 We already have something called Social Services which is funded by our taxes that fulfils the role of protected mistrated children. Have you heard of it? Yes I hear it's massively underfunded, hadn't you heard that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960boy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I don't know what the Stormfront is except another Forum. The original report was from the BNP.Slag the party off all you want but i'll bet they were revealing another unpleasant side to the BBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
