More on the rest of the Board…
Foxnwolf comments……
I didn’t notice any help and/or support for Al Blackman from H4H!!!Obviously, apologies abound if I am wrong…
Personally, for some time now any “funds” I have go straight to the RMA. As good a job that H4H does it does rip the arse out of the RM Coffers. Plus the “Boards” Salaries are somewhat questionable and “Judge Dredd” just put the nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned…
As for the “Judge” I think he should have “passed” sitting on that case due to his commitments as a Director/Trustee on the board of H4H (maybe he needed the £££). The two “LG`s” also sitting on the board must feel a tad uncomfortable (I hope so) …
