Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Hays,
Through my wife's involment in and organisation, I have a minor interest into the workings of the Charity commision and I think you have be sold a pup.
Undoubtably, there have beensome episodes of false accounting, which have been allowed by the unforeseem side effects of weak legislation.
As said before I am a little ambivalent about some charities and certainly a society which some think should depend on them.

I know quite a bit about the case. I was living with the girlfriend at the time and saw some of the documents when they qualified the accounts. She said that there had been a number of similar high profile cases.

Hays.
"She said that there had been a number of similar high profile cases."
You knew her I didn't.
It wouldn't be the first time I am wrong.
But I don't think either of us think very highly of many individuals, some of whom are involved in "charities" and other areas of work.
In general, l I think such cases should be exposed"prosecuted" if they are at a significant level and if the actions are done knowingly.

I think the thing about the latest tory "Charity Tax" debacle, and the mounting U-turns, is that I think that Cameron and others in the party previous jobs were as PR men and presentation was their game.
I thought that job entailed presenting information to the public in a way that they would swallow it.
Cameron and Osborne present policies to the public and then asks for help from the cabinet to modify them to present to his own party.
I can see why they left their previous jobs, probably, nobody would hire them.
I only wish they would do some other jobs than the ones they are doing now.

PS.
By PR, I didn't mean per rectum.

Dreams,
Definitely a good look alike of the Cameroon and the surveillance state that he is trying to create.
Again, what he ignores is that he is also being observed. (UggHH)
I laughed when I hear he was "telling" the local electors not to vote Labour councillors because they were incompetent.
This cabinet is not only detached from the "public", but reality as well.
What is he going to do, now that Rebecca has deserted him. Flog a dead horse.

Fred re surveillance state, nobody promoted that more than labour, if they had been elected we would now be forced to allow access to our homes by the council at their whim. That said, Cameron, Clegg and co have been abysmal.

Cleric Abu Qatada arrested again
Radical cleric Abu Qatada has been arrested and told the Home Office will try to deport him, the BBC understands.
He is expected to appear at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission on Tuesday afternoon, when the home secretary will update MPs on his case.

This shows that he lost support of his supporters. He is going to be lonely...
Anyway, inflation has not been that bad, I&J and GS beat estimates - J&J 1Q profit jumps 12.5 pct
