No more money for Murphy. He gets enough from fake charities, even those with more than one name. The RNLI, however, is a real charity, and a grand example of why we don’t need governments to provide services that the market cannot provide.

I would hazard to say that Tim will never confuse the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust and Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust again.
