Black taxis matter

[Bod ...]

O dear someone else is abusing the BLM movement.

Black Lives Matter march organiser splurged £30k in donations on taxis and takeaways

Xahra Saleem co-organised the Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol which saw the toppling of Edward Colston’s statue

£30k in fifteen months?
Is that all?
Sounds like wifey material to me

Not for the near future she isn’t

So the link to the BLM, the march and the toppling of the statue is tenuous and incidental.
But why waste an opportunity to demonise a movement.

He could have pocketed a lot more by making grandad walk round the garden.

This clearly demonstrates that middle-class white people are a bunch of crooks.

Is that equivalent to the message you wanted to convey?

Whose his grandad anyone we know.

Spot on with Tom's Daughter. Greedy mucker.

Filthy rich White cows matter.

Bit of grammar. and not nit-picking. it's a common mistake:
'Who's' is short for 'who is'.
'Whose' is a possesive pronoun.

Whose is this bag? or This bag is whose?
Or "I nearly hit the car whose reg is CRASH 1"

as opposed to

Who's this person? (short for who is this person)
Who's his grandad?

In all fairness, neither - actual or alleged - misappropriation of the funds would have been likely to come to the public's attention, were it not for the high-profile nature of the campaigns.

"Someone pinches something" isn't much of a headline.

2.5 years seems a bit tough. She should have taken some advice before confessing. But my guess is she had no way to pay the money back.

This looks more like embezzlement than fraud.

I dislike crooks like this as much as anybody, but I can't help thinking 2 1/2 years nick is a bit steep for £30k, when violent crims often get less

Plenty do similar and present it lawfully
