A blast from the past.

As far back as 2008, people had me rumbled:

You have cited the ‘Liverpool Preservation Trust’, approvingly. This is an organisation that appears to be un-registered with the Charities Commission, to have no constitution, one ‘trustee’ (or ‘chairman’) and no members. I understand the sole ‘trustee’ parted ways with the Merseyside Civic Society because of his idiosyncratic views about the future of the city. The ‘trust’ is always happy to provide personal opinions; it is for others to decide how representative they are in reporting them and the credibility it imparts on the reporter in doing so.

Needless to say, Charles Korsham was quick to my defence.
Other names to watch include David Swift, Dr Anthony Small and Simon Taylor, all of whom mysteriously appear, in similar tones, when anyone dares to pay any attention to the man behind the curtain.

Jim Warren of the often very effective Bath Heritage Watchdog (which, while it doesn't yet have a constitution does have a polite, informative and open website http://www.bathheritagewatchdog.org/index.html with all the relevant information about membership etc), on the other hand, is real.
