The cash for good causes is SPLIT BETWEEN THE POPULATION. The good causes distribution is controlled by a handful of Quangos and much of the money has gone to benefit the rich with only paltry sums going to the thousands of genuine good causes. £50m to refurbish the Royal Opera House. If every single person in the UK wanted to attend an opera at the ROH the waiting list would be 72 years long. Was it £13m for the Churchill papers?

You’ve been conned!

Why is it a scam? Are you not aware of how it works?
