Camila Batmanghelidjh and Alan Yentob

[Saint in Paradise]

 

Camila Batmanghelidjh – the former CEO of Kids Company – stiffened. This time, Bernard Jenkin had gone too far.

“On what basis,” she inquired haughtily, “have you decided that this was a ‘failing’ charity?”

The Conservative MP for Harwich & N Essex met her glare equably.

“It’s gone bust,” he said.

 

It was chaos from the start. The kaleidoscopically flamboyant Ms Batmanghelidjh – looking more than ever like a pile

of Aladdin’s laundry – seemed incapable of giving a straight answer. Paul Flynn (Lab, Newport West) snapped that her

replies were “verbal ectoplasm”. Mr Jenkin asked whether it was true that Kids Company routinely handed teenagers

cash in brown envelopes. In the space of six seconds, Ms Batmanghelidjh said this was “a myth” and “not a myth”.

I love that phrase "verbal ectoplasm" - I feel that it could very well be said to several posters on here.

Well this made me LOL

 

Disbelievingly Mr Flynn read out a Kids Company document claiming that if it was shut down, swathes of South London would “descend into savagery”. Mr Yentob insisted that this was “not a wild exaggeration”, because there had since been stabbings and a murder. Mr Jenkin said he’d heard this was because local youths could no longer use Kids Company’s money to “pay their drug pushers”.
