A Black Lives Matter activist, who was instrumental in organising the infamous protest that saw the statue of Sir Edward Colston torn down and thrown in the Bristol Harbour, has been jailed for fraud after using donations intended for a children’s charity on herself.

Xahra Saleem, born Yvonne Maina, a founding member of the BLM offshoot All Black Lives Bristol activist group, has been jailed for two and a half years after being found guilty of stealing £32,344 in charitable donations to a local children’s group, Changing Your Mindset, which had planned to use the money to fund a trip to Africa for disadvantaged children in the area.

For you 10cc fans out there:

"...Khan-Cullors tearfully defended her $3.2 million real estate empire,..."

I'm Not A Thief
(Sung to the tune of I'm Not In Love" by 10cc)

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to scam you, but then again
That doesn't mean your Leftist creds are gone
So if I rob you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell the evening news I’m stealing cash
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

(Be quiet, Marxists don't cry)
Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)
(Marxists don't cry)

I got my mansions with stolen cash
I hide the cash transfers in bank accounts
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know I got no salary
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear, ooh

I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief…

Here's the BBC's foto of her leaving court after entering her
"not guilty" plea. Seems she's developed a sense of modesty.

Grifters gotta grift. But, beyond that, is a trip to Africa what “disadvantaged” black kids need? In the West, a black has to be pretty disadvantaged to be as disadvantaged as the vast majority of African populations, and I doubt to show the kids how relatively well of they are was the point of the proposed trip. Foolish donors and their money are soon parted

Just suppose they get what the democrats have been dying to give them: reparations. Within 30 days all of the $5 million will have been spent. Sellers of menthol cigarettes, malt liquor, Maxim, illicit drugs and hos will become rich overnight.

Not a cent will remain, and they’ll be demanding more money. It will never end.

Don't forget the manufacturers of solid-gold spinning hubcaps.

“...a trip to Africa for disadvantaged children in the area.”

So they could see what real disadvantaged children look like, many of sho work hard to rise above their circumstances instead of being victims.
