    it still seems incredible to me that after the coalition, the conservative ended up working for the charity, and the lib dem ended up at fucking facebook.

      Most profit-earning entities are set up as charities as a tax avoidance thing.

        IDK, Alzheimer’s Research UK seems legit enough. I definately do not want to defend Cameron, but you gotta give the props where they’re due.

          There’s nothing to separate Starmer’s reign and Cameron’s except time passage.

          Fair enough. Prince Andrew was a patron of 35 charities until that interview.

          I was thinking more of hedge funds and bank profit-centre entities like CDOs or whatever they’re called now.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
