The poppyshop were selling beautiful swarovski poppy brooches for £9.99, which have now sold out. Now of course they have popped up on ebay and some are going for stupid amounts.
One person is selling them for £125 yet only donating 20% to the RBL, another person is selling but some of the money is going to GOSH (which is a great charity, but surely it should go to RBL? It's a Poppy!)
It's such a shame that charities suffer through what I can only see as greed I'm not saying they should donate 100% to the charity, but a bit more than 20% would be nice imo and it should at least go to the right cause.
This is the first time I've noticed it, I guess it probably happens to other charities too
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
