Now this will be interesting, if Rankin is found to have lied about
having an affair will Key fire her or keep her ?
Hell, Labour should hold fire for like Lee and Bennett she is a gift
that keeps on giving.
Now I see a few questions about a charity.
Nah let her stay Labour, that way we can hear about the photos of
Rankin, Princess Di and Mandela together on the commission wall.

yes, seems that when Rankin was on dancing with the stars, any money she
earned for a charity whilst on the show went to the "For the Sake of Our
Children Trust".

That charity is of course the one Rankin led. It seems there were only 2
employees, Rankin and her son.

If any truth to this, really really bad conflict of interest.

Off with her head - the skanky mutton adulteress.

The whole damn commission needs the bullet. A pointless waste of
taxpayer's money.

Bill.

Where's the conflict of interest? Any employee of a charity can surely
promote that charity.

Go on a TV programme, ask people to give money to your charity, you are 1 of
2 employees. A little close to home isn't it?

It depends on how much she was paid. If she got paid 'extra' because
the charity got a bit of 'extra' money from her being on the show then
there is conflict of interest. And if that's the case then Rankin was
basically being paid for her performance while pretending she was
doing it all for charity.

I for one wouldn't miss their condescending and racist ads.

Actually, to be accurate, that should be 'she was making money from
being on Dancing with the stars while ...'

No. Not at all. Would it be any different if she was the only employee? One
of 200 employees? Or worked at the place next door?

If you're suggesting that an employee for a charity can't be paid bonuses or
a commission, then there must be a helluva lot of people who are in the
wrong.

I'm very concerned about the morals of the Commission.. there's
more marriages there than commissioners. And that "informal
adoption" of a child by one of them.. very suspicious.

Not a good look.

Would require an opening of the books to show a reasonable use of
the money.

It depends on the amount of the commission/bonus. If she was pocketing
say 90% of the donations then there was something very dodgy going on.
