THIS MORNING - which charity should mumsnet contribute their fees to??

[ace123]

That's it really. Mumsnet are appearing on 'This Morning' in the not to distant future, so where do their fees go?

I think there should be a poll on which charity it goes to - don't you?

i think they should go to keeping MN running, with maybe a contribution to charity.

if MN are getting any fees at all....

A poll would be good.

There's already a link with a cot death charity isn't there? I think you'd have to be pretty mean to be anti that.

Whereas if you asked for more ideas we'd all just yell for the one that helps us most.

For a more general MN ethos alike charity- Homestart?

Why doesn't it go to Mumsnet - the chat don't come for free!

And do they even get a fee?

How generous of you to 'help' MN apportion their fees (if they exist)

I don't see why they should go to charity at all really? Mumsnet is a business, and Justine et al invested a lot of time for free early in the project, so re-investment in the business now just kind of evens it out?

As an aside, I wouldn't be surprised if there ISN'T a fee anyway... it will be deemed to be good PR for them (for free)

I'm not sure there will be a fee? They get airspace to sell the book, and be guests on the show. If they were paid, then I imagine they would put it in their MN tin. Quite right too.

I'm pretty sure that celebs don't get an appearance fee if they are promoting something

If I was on it id take the money moi meme

I doubt there will be a fee. But if there is I am with Peachy- Homestart is a brilliant choice

They are plugging a book, I would be very suprised if they got fees and I wouldn't consider it any of our business what they do with fees if they did get any.

give it to that depressed dog charity

I d frigging SHOOT those dogs if I ever saw one. Ane the pathetic voice over.

MUMSNET - do you get a fee?

Fair enough if it was just Mumsnet & not involving mumsnetters. It's exploitation.

People that go on TV who are not media savvy are taken advantage of. This whole 'This Morning' thing is a good example. Selling your soul for 15 minutes of fame increases the ratings and decreases participants self-worth.

I'd shoot the person doing the voice over for shure. And the dogs. They won't appreciate it. They'll just sniff it dolefully and then sigh, and lie down and write bad poetry about their feelings.

Much better to keep it.

Homestart

MUMSNET - will your fees go to homestart?

ace123 - do you work? If so can I start a thread asking complete strangers which charity your wages should be paid to?

What's the chairty that does the big coffee morning thing as a way of fundraising - because isn't this a big coffee morning?

I don't think anybody is being exploited here

what nice manners you have, ace. i doubt there will be a fee, phil and fern are doing MNHQ a BIG favour. that whole show's turned round on about 70p anyway.

i think it'll be a big bunfight in a minute, twims.
