Default Trevor Coult MC.

I've spent some time lately listening to Trevor's YouTube channel and it's certainly been an eye-opener for me. His revelations about the RBL and other major veterans charities make for uncomfortable listening with regards to the financial side of things. Any donations from me this year will not involve poppies. I want any donations I make to go towards helping the veterans, not lining someone's pocket.

Every one is entitled to their opinion and there are things I disagree with about how the various charities are run and how finances are spent but I feel he takes a very simplistic view on a number of areas.

Many charities are less than they seem. Comic Relief not only retains tens of millions of pounds in the bank instead of distributing it, but the senior figures in the charity are on a huge wage. Additionally, Comic Relief has invested in companies that have connections with drug, Arms and Tobacco.
