Oh dear, never mind
Who cares? Why not? Do you think she should be giving it all in tax and contributions to the state instead?Sounds as if the daughter has been milking her late fathers name in more ways than one.
Laws are laws. Rules are rules. If I was to break the law and drive at 120mph in my car and it didn’t affect anyone, would that make it okay for others to do the same or should they be prosecuted?Who is it affecting?
Agree but we all know planning rules are so vague they can be interpreted in many ways.Laws are laws. Rules are rules. If I was to break the law and drive at 120mph in my car and it didn’t affect anyone, would that make it okay for others to do the same or should they be prosecuted?
The issue is that planning was applied for to create the building as a kindof Sir Tom museum and public facility. It was built and then a revised plan was submitted to convert it to private use.
I suspect the planners/councillors felt they'd been fibbed to.
It could be more innocent than reported.. It could be that the building was built for the foundation in his memory, but because the charity commission is pretty much winding up the foundation due to mismanagement, the building had no role and an application for private use followed.
I suspect that is a stretch.
So yes to teach them a lesson for lieing to us we will cut off their nose to spite their face. Yep makes sense of course...
I donated to the Captain Tom appeal. If they paid for it out of that and it was to be used for the stated purpose, no problem. If they used my donation to enrich their already comfortable lifestyle by switching it to their personal use, it should be pulled down and they should pay every penny back into Captain Toms fund.
