What the petition asks
A "charity" which receives taxpayer funding is simply not a charity. In light of the Kids Company scandal it is fair to say that a symbiotic relationship between gov. and charities is unhelpful and innappropriate. Taxpayer funding turns charities into unaccountable Quangos. This is morally wrong.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-33376467 - Kids Company has, allegedly, repeatedly mishandled taxpayer money.
