| If one did not care about the Commons (and a good number of the Conservators past and present clearly do not) then this would all be quite funny and material for a localised series of 'Yes Minister' or 'The Thick of It'. One has to admire the 'media release’ from Windy Towers which informs us that 'the Board continues to work with its legal advisors CRS on the implementation of the Charity Commission’s October 2015 Formal Action Plan'. Eleven months have passed and nothing. It is well that there was so much going on in the news over the same period or we might all have been bored waiting rather than just let down. If our Conservators really require lawyers to implement the Plan then perhaps the Charity Commission should be requested to rewrite this using words of one syllable before we hit the Plan’s first anniversary. What please is the point of having Conservators if this is the best they can do? While some on the forum might call the Conservators ‘liars and cheats’ this is harsh although for sure they are incompetent. If the Charity Commissioners deployed any meaningful governance the Board would have been dismissed long ago. Who on the Board said ‘O, my offence is rank it smells to heaven’? While, like Claudius, those occupying the Hamlet on the Hill may seek to sweep matters under the Common’s turf the scholars among them (there must be one) will know what happens in the end. |
