WHY CAN'T ALL OF THESE TOSSERS GET STUFFED, BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some time ago, someone put forward a suggestion that we organise a charity game and donate the proceeds to a charity or charitable trust which supported anti-guncrime projects and iniatives. I believe the proposal was that we demonstrate that while we were not anti-gun, we did have sympathy for the victims of gun crime and were keen to see a reduction in the levels of crime involving guns.
Having done some research over the last few days, on both the interweb and by phone, I have discovered that there were two major charities involved with the funding of anti-guncrime iniatives and groups. The first of these, The Disarm Trust, appears to have shut down among rumours of ineffective leadership and financial impropreity. All the numbers listed on their website are either unobtainable or are being used by some other organisation. Having talked to people where I could, no-one seemed to be aware of the organisation and no-one appeared to have a forwarding address or contact number.
The second charitable trust, Connected, is administered by none other than ... The Home Office. Having had a flick through the website, I found that one of the organisations that benefitted from the first round of funding was Mothers Against Guns (London). Is it just me, or does anyone else find it slightly irksome that the HO is actually funding an organisation that is trying to discredit and destroy the image of our sport, while trying to introduce legislation to do away with us?
