Subject: RE: BS: Charities and Oxfam
When I was a kid scoutmasters were scoutmasters and teachers were teachers and nothing further was thought about it. Today no-one can work near children without being thoroughly vetted. Does anyone here think that is a bad thing? Does the world stop going round because of a hiatus caused by vetting? Of course it does not - We live in a more enlightened time and regard such safeguards as essential in order to offer the maximum levels of protection to children.
Why do we not have more safeguards built into the running of charities. I see no difference between the objectives of both processes. i.e.maximum good for minimum harm!
Only a sicko like shaw and his tame acolytes would try to make political capital out of the very public, localised failure of a charity. By the way shaw public schools have charitable status. Are you so busy point scoring about brexit that you forgot that you regularly criticise their status?
