It is an incorporated independent Charity funded in the main by member subscriptions, charitable donations and self-generated consultancy income.<br /><br />Also, it is a lot less "political" in a party sense that it was back in the Mandelson era. I for one am a Conservative, and as all trustees are elected by the membership I'm not sure if it was full of communists that i'd ever have got elected!<br /><br />Trustee, BYCTim Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906455079319012437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-50029907473753449502010-08-04T19:11:57.844+01:002010-08-04T19:11:57.844+01:00You were brilliant at the convention.

In that he was honest and the other 3 were not. Does the voting age move with the age of consent?<br /><br />Otherwise Pound - jolly old Mr. Punch - did his usual avuncular act it seems.
