What's wrong with War Child UK?

[Timmy the Dragonborn]

People seem unhappy about it

War Childs aid mostly goes to black/brown countries and that triggers some sour neo-nazi's and their following the alt-right finger puppets.

I personally don't support any charity, less so in any super rich country like UK. I work for 3.5 EUR/Hour, so it seems like an insult that I should donate to UK.

Despite my poorness, I own all Total War games from Medieval to Attilla, with every single DLC. Dont care about Warhammer, and now this charity nonsense. RIP total war series.

"War Child UK, which raises money for young victims of war around the world, has been accused of accepting bribes and spending excessive amounts of money on management, following an investigation by the Guardian and Channel 4 News. "

2001 article isn’t really recent news.

Oh god, this is just terrible. Found an follow up article on The Guardian from 2017, where the person who exposed the first scandal says nothing has changed...

Nope, I am not buying this game with this charity crap slapped to it.

Yes that is at the end of the article, but the article itself does not at all sounds reassuring. I highly recommend reading it.

I did. But the events occurred nearly two decades, and the only thing that is continuing is his ostracism. It was a click bait title.

Click bait title? The title of that article is

"I exposed corruption at War Child. Here's why whistleblowers need anonymity"

, which corresponds with the content. For me, the fact that what happened in 2001 and the fact this bussiness was allowed to continue, is alone appaling enough. I cannot buy this game with this charity slapped to it.

War Child funds the replacement of the native English people with arabs and africans.

Some people don't like it for racist reasons, but others just hate scamming charities.

There was no investigation in the events that occurred 16 years ago, we simply don't know if the claims are bogus or true. But mud does stick, and should stick, war child should be investigated.

Wouldn't be the opposite tho, if they help the kids in warzones they don't need to become refugees.
