Lauren Booth, sister of Cherie Blair, has been removed as a trustee of Islamic charity Peacetrail. Ms Booth set up the charity in 2013 after converting to Islam in 2010. A Charity Commission investigation has found a series of failings, including a failure to account for "at least £92,110" of the organisation's total expenditure. Ms Booth, the daughter of late actor Tony Booth and half-sister of Cherie Blair, says the report is "incorrect" and that "completed accounting was provided". The report states that about £40,000 of charity funds had been withdrawn at cash machines and by cashing cheques, with no paperwork provided to back up its use. Charity money had also been spent on valet parking, first-class travel and accommodation in both the UK and abroad, it said. One expenditure listed was £1,219 to furnish an "office bedroom", but the image provided to the commission was of a bedroom in the Hilton Hotel in Istanbul, the investigation found.
Chief executive Sohale Ahmed, 53 - Ms Booth's husband - has been disqualified from his position, and will be barred from acting as a trustee of a charity or holding a senior management charity position for four-and-a-half years. Financial records showed he had received self-authorised salary payments totalling £46,500, the report said.

re-reading 1984 at the moment and just got to this:
George Orwell said:
Throughout recorded time, and probably since the end of the Neolithic Age, there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low. They have been subdivided in many ways, they have borne countless different names, and their relative numbers, as well as their attitude towards one another, have varied from age to age: but the essential structure of society has never altered. Even after enormous upheavals and seemingly irrevocable changes, the same pattern has always reasserted itself, just as a gyroscope will always return to equilibrium, however far it is pushed one way or the other.
The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable. The aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when they have an aim - for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are too much crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of anything outside their daily lives - is to abolish all distinctions and create a society in which all men shall be equal. Thus throughout history a struggle which is the same in its main outlines recurs over and over again. For long periods the High seem to be securely in power, but sooner or later there always comes a moment when they lose either their belief in themselves or their capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High. Presently a new Middle group splits off from one of the other groups, or from both of them, and the struggle begins over again. Of the three groups, only the Low are never even temporarily successful in achieving their aims. It would be an exaggeration to say that throughout history there has been no progress of a material kind. Even today, in a period of decline, the average human being is physically better off than he was a few centuries ago. But no advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer. From the point of view of the Low, no historic change has ever meant much more than a change in the name of their masters.
By the late nineteenth century the recurrence of this pattern had become obvious to many observers...

Of course, many politicians will tell you they can change the former and the latter doesn't happen, but they are always, without fail, wrong.

And whilst we're on the subject of this sort of fraud, whatever happened to that awful, disgusting, thieving Camilla Batmangella and her left wing fraudster sidekick from the BBC? Did it all just end up being swept under the carpet, and if so, why?

My contempt for the pair of them, piques higher, much, much higher, than any of the other two faced, lying, scumbag, self serving, hypocritical champagne socialists, and believe me, that's really, really, saying something.
If King Herald ever comes across one of those Mexican Cartel torture snuff movies with Tony & Cherie the main attraction, I'd gladly watch it! Hell, I'd even want a copy to take home with me to watch whenever I felt like being cheered up.
Just as well that I didn't include my views - they would have been a lot less complimentary !!t, who just so happens to be married to an utterly disgusting, greedy, hatchet faced, rotten fannied, bitter, self serving, lying, two faced, hypocritical champagne socialist, untrustworthy old hag of a tt.My contempt for the pair of them, piques higher, much, much higher, than any of the other two faced, lying, scumbag, self serving, hypocritical champagne socialists, and believe me, that's really, really, saying something.
