A nanny who splashed tens of thousands of pounds in donations linked to a Black Lives Matter demonstration on her own lifestyle, including almost £6,000 on Uber rides and food deliveries, has been jailed for two and a half years.
Xahra Saleem, 23, had set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Covid personal protective equipment, before the landmark march in Bristol that saw the toppling of Edward Colston’s statue on 7 June 2020. Following the publicity around the march, donations soared, and £32,344 was raised.
