I guess her ethnic look is a bonus in dealing with PC ministers.... Could it be carefully contrived I have to wonder....?
Kids Company scamming charity? Or just incompetent management?

I'd suggest house arrest might be cheaper than all the structural reinforcement needed to put her in an existing prison.

Scam - nobody can be that inept....
Half the money went on running it, the other half disappeared in brown envelopes.
Would be interesting to know how much she was earning as well.

Literally driving around handing out brown envelopes full of cash in tower blocks with people fighting over them.
One woman said "people need this money to buy their kids food and clothe them". So what did they spend their Child Benefit, JSA etc on? They're acting like Kids company are there only source of income.

Enough to be able to employ a chauffeur, albeit it one in a Prius.
*edit....and to send his kids to private school. Writing their press release claiming her chauffeur is a "key worker".

Now now, it wasn't a mansion but a "therapy centre" that just so happens to have not been adapted for that purpose and left as house.
Didn't they say there were 650 employees? That works out at less than 1000 per person, which isn't unreasonable if those 650 people were actually doing something useful and productive.

They actually said they were £500,000 'short', they didn't say what the total wage bill was.

They did, near the start they the wage bill was about 1m a month. That's just to pay net wages, you still have the paye bill on top of that to settle as well. That's an average of about 19k a year per employee, the actual amount is most likely higher as surely some of those 650 are volunteers and not paid up member's of staff (at least i would like to think that).
I felt bad for those who were reliant on charity, over the years kids company has shielded people from the realities of life rather then getting them prepared to face it.
I want to her to go through the court system just so she's forced to wear prison garb, she'd complain that it's against her human rights and all the guards would just laugh very loudly inches from her face
It's not an impossibility as there's a reasonable chance that she can be charged with fraud

Will the standard issue HRH Prison uniform fit her?
I think they'll give a small size separately so that she can make a make-shift turban for her her
I was going to say, £500,000 wage bill isn't that much and a meaningless number on it's own, one of the places I manage is a Nursery (and a Charity) and it's wage bill is more than £500k!
