Here.s an idea .....

Get every 2 bit c88t karoake singer..to record a song on you tube ..with a video of Tom doing his walk .......and you get 1000s of shares ..

If you can use songs like Major Tom ..all the better ..you self centred C77tS.....and the majority of mongs will applaud you whilst you promote yourself ..

"The Moorish Science Temple of America is an American national and religious organization founded by Noble Drew Ali. He based it on the premise that African Americans are descendants of the Moabites and thus are "Moorish" (sometimes also spelled "Muurish" by adherents) by nationality, and Islamic by faith. do you mean this ??"

And for employing herself, husband and friends on fat salaries through a front company.  Said to have paid out more in administration costs than used for good causes.

We'd be an awful world without charities but so much in the world of charity is sus.  I didn't realise it until someone I knew was effectively fired and next thing ended up as a £100k+ head of a very well known charity.  They fired him too.
