Asked on the programme whether she felt she was owed an apology from anyone in government, Ms Batmanghelidjh said Mr Gove, now the Cabinet Office minister, had been "disingenuous".
She added: "I can live without Michael Gove's apology but the staff and the children are owed an apology from Michael Gove, [former Conservative MP] Oliver Letwin, all these people who promised that they were going to help us resolve the fact that children were pouring in through our doors." "And I think we got sandwiched between these two concerns and that was why there was such a ferocious attack on us."
And a government source said after the Woman's Hour interview: "As two independent official investigations found, Kids Company was badly run, couldn't survive without government handouts and was beset by a litany of failures. That is why the charity collapsed."The Official Receiver brought High Court proceedings against Ms Batmanghelidjh and the former trustees, arguing they were "unfit" to hold directorships because of their handling of the charity.
Didn't she rince the money from the charity...?
👀🤔🤷♂️😷
Absolutely unbelievable. Where did all the tax payers money go? She couldn’t/ wouldn’t account for it. If anyone in a private firm had been so negligent, they probably be serving a jail sentence. But because she’s a woke virtue signaller she’s put on a pedestal. I despair.
Gove should be sacked
Has she accounted for the millions of taxpayer pounds pumped into this London-centric “company” yet?
The woman has a brass neck.
What about the £M she defrauded the taxpayer of? Swimming pool in own mansion
Cammy Batman should apologise to the people of Wigan for depriving them of their daily pies!
A morbidly obese, ugly woman, inside and outside. Typical BBC rubbish. Not long now to GB News.👍👍👍👍👍👍
MICHEAL GOVE TO PAY ALL THE CHILDREN THAT LOSSED OUT DUE TO THIS WITCH HUNT OR STEP DOWN AND ADDMIT HE WAS JUST DOING HIS STAB IN THE BACK TORY TACTICS!!
Can't stand the site of that fat mamma jamma 🤮
Should be her apologising for being a pratt
FSF - rearrange this common abbreviation please. Then OF - rearrange that common abbreviation too.
Zzzzzzzzzz
What happened to the money given by government.? Mismanagement that shes responsible for.
ok, so if anyone here doesn't agree with paying their tv licence, there's a legal loophole, lol......DM me
She received a hard time this morning on 'Woman's Hour' from an un-sympathetic Emma Barnett but held her own...
And what about the millions she pissed up against the wall. Get back under your rock man.
Why does she get air time? She’s the only one who needs to apologise. Lowest of the low to scam charity money
This woman has no shame 😳
I expect nothing else from the BBC. notaxationwithoutrepresentation
Wtf is that
Didn't she just pinch all the money
She should apologise for stealing my fruit bowl
She didn’t know her ass from her elbow finance wise.
She should explain what happened to the £3million. Should have been locked up!
Jail
She shouldn’t apologise, for mismanagement
Dreadful woman!!! Didn't she employ family members & friends on such high salaries, there was no money left for the children of the charity!!!
DefundTheBBC
She should pay the missing money back first, and even then she’s got some neck asking for an apology, if I were her, I’d wind my neck in and shut the fuck up, in case someone decides to investigate properly where the money went.
Has she had a dip in her money. New clown outfit needed? People are waking to the corrupt CEOs of so called charities. If you earn over 80k your doing it for you.
Is this a joke 😂😂😂😂
BBCPolitics She should apologise for losing £3m days before her charity collapsed 🙄
Stupid cow.
Carmen Miranda put on a few pounds I see.
She's a crook and you report this?
Why should he apologise to a crook?
Just Deserts Ms Batmangelidjh ?
Shameless Fat Grifter Grifts some more
Absolutely not. This woman should not be allowed anywhere near tax payers money ever again.
There is a woman with no soul and a truck load of Prozac in her
Ffs, is the BBC still championing this horrendous woman? Seriously, get a fuckin life.
She was on £15000 !
Batman has certainly changed through the years.
The Boris Bashing Corporation is at it again. Are you sure your Charter allows this skewed anti Government biased reporting? I am so glad I don't give you any of my hard earned money.
That old bat was on the fiddle. She should be doing time.
All these corrupt Charities need auditing
Camilla Batmansandwich spouts again, strange it’s the that gives her the platform!
That lady should be locked up
She siphoned the money into her personal accounts.
He should do that after Ms Batmanghelidjh apologises to the parents of the children she ate.
BBCPolitics You should be investigating where all the money went! It’s disgraceful!
I do remember her being described as 'looking ever more like a pile of Ali Baba's laundry' in one article.
Unbelievable. The neck on some people.
This woman should be ashamed of herself such arrogance is breathtaking 🤬
No intrest in her or what she has to say ..best forgotten completely
Wonder if she introduces herself as “I’m BATMANghelidjh”
Look at the fucking state of it. How could anyone take anything she says seriously? Oh, and money disappeared here there and everywhere
Whatever! I raised funds for this charity and they were not appreciative and did not want to engage or speak about the charity to encourage more giving. Maybe because everything was about celebrity this and that and we were not.
Nothing to do with taxpayers money to the tune of millions given to kids company that was pissed up the wall. Fuck me she's got some cheek.
She should be in prison.
BBCPolitics Seriously? What planet is she on? Where has all the money gone?
BBCPolitics Isn’t it Batman who should be apologising?!
Pathetic scum media
If he cared he would
Absolute Loon!!! Corrupt Slime.
Excuse me?
Because of her incompetence, nah .
Kids Company Was Not a Valid Charity and Was Wrongly Given Taxpayers Money That Had Half The Frauds in London and Bristol Turning Up In Expensive Cars To Get Envelopes Full Of Cash! Batmanghelidjh Needs To Apologise, Not Gove!
Where is the millions of pounds that went missing?
She should be in jail
Why?
