Looks interesting.

There's still £2m that's gone completely unaccounted for. Surely that's a police matter? Confused

I know! The part in the documentary where they were all outraged when the government asked for the money back... And Camila casually said 'well they can't have it' and laughed.
This was after the closure wasn't it? And they were public funds- surely that's theft?

Yes what was all that paper that was shredded? Why were they told to do it? Surely even after closing you'd have to keep paperwork for the charity commission?

Someone asked about whether there are transcripts of the hearings - they are all here (together with written evidence hearings). Hope it is OK to link. Worth reading the oral evidence given by CB and AY, also Harriet Segeant's written evidence makes interesting reading.

She's like a stupid drunk party planner at a billionaire's birthday party.

MrsJamin · 09/02/2016 18:54

Indeed. Just imagine having millions you could just fritter away on pet projects and people, and not bear any responsibility to prove the positive effects of it? No wonder she seemed positively giddy.

I think she's got something on old cam chops so he won't push for the 2mil she owes

Ooh she's going to be on Woman's Hour on radio 4 at 10am today. Not sure I can bear to listen to her self-justification and spin but could be interesting

LyndaNotLinda · 12/02/2016 10:23

You should all listen to this - apparently her chauffeur's child had SEN and was statemented but the LA wouldn't pay for her school. So that's why they paid his school fees.

She's basically watched that documentary and is now trying to paper over the bloody big gaffes that she made

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2016 10:33

She has an answer for everything. Nothing was her fault. She sent one of her 'clients' to Champneys ffs - because he was psychotic and Champneys had a doctor and nurse and was the only place she could get him into.

I'm going to have to download the podcast because I missed WH. Did they give her an easy ride?

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/02/2016 14:44

Not an easy ride, no. Jenni Murray just sat back and let Camila dig her own grave

Thank you. I listen when I get home.

Listened to first half of Radio 4 prog today but plumber came to do shower so will listen to the rest later.

She didn't come over as crazed as she did on the recent TV documentary imo, but she had obviously been able to prepar in advance for what was going to come up.

But really what I heard today was every bit as out of touch, evasive and ridiculous as the tv doc. Same shit, different interviewer, different day.
