Otherwise, I cannot disagree, Edward. It is a subject that is only patchily covered though EURef has done a lot of work on it. But the problem goes beyond just the EU. As do most problems, of course.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057487038565855826.post-24911380888229750712012-03-09T13:14:03.000+00:002012-03-09T13:14:03.000+00:00Ominously the authorities now refer to charities a...Ominously the authorities now refer to charities as "The Third Sector" - the other two being government of all kinds and business of all kinds. The trouble is that with PFI etc government and business are thoroughly mixed up in a way which is intended to be inextricable and the same goes for government and much (though not all) of the "Third Sector". <br /><br />People who want to relieve famine are giving to "charities" which promote the global warming/climate change agenda.
