Its actually very easy to give £5/month direct to a charity. Takes about 2 minutes, just gotta do it.
- foldr 4mo agoYou're overthinking this. There's a publicity element to it, but the money just gets given to charity, like they say it does. It's not a conspiracy or a tax accounting trick.
- jstanley 4mo agoHow can you tell? And is this definitely universally true or just true of the 1 instance you happen to have personal experience with?
- foldr 4mo agoSame way I can tell that my next door neighbor isn't poisoning my water supply or that Tesco doesn't have a secret chemical weapons program. That major supermarket chains are running scam charity appeals just isn't a hypothesis worth entertaining in the absence of any evidence for it.
- gosub100 4mo agoBecause the risk of fraud is too great for major corporations. They have accountants and businesses people who would report it.
- kshacker 4mo agoThe risk with charity money is not the companies collecting a few cents but the charity itself.
