Glad we're back on topic - what's the difference between a "change in the law" and a "cut"?
Would it be anything to do with distancing the current government from the cuts, after all who remembers any recent legislation changing the law on this, so it must have been the other lot.And how palatable would it be for the average Telegraph reader to see the current government choosing to make cuts that would impact on them or their causes, rather than making cuts on welfare scroungers.

we seem to be getting to the point that the young don't know anyone who fought in the war or whose lives where altered by the war.
I think, sadly, that this is the case - and the more the years go on, the less attention will be paid to memorials & the memories of those who were lost during the wars.World War 2 teachings are (or were) missing off the Curriculum for KS3 History, but WW1 was included. I think this needs changing - I can still vividly remember my visit to Ypres & the Somme memorials, probably the most worthwhile trip I ever undertook at school.
The youngest (legal/18+) soldier involved in WW2 will be 83 now, so I doubt anyone born now will ever learn about the war from first hand accounts.
Also, did no one write poems in WW2? Where are all the WW2 poets?
Or is it just that the educationalists felt that WW1 poetry also backed up their view of the class system?.
I'm not sure what it was like for everyone else, but for me, a large part of history was about being presented with diverging sources and trying to form an accurate picture of what likely happened. In hindsight, I think it was one of the best things they taught us in school, even if at the time most thought it was a load of crap about stuff that had already happened.

"professional fees, including all design, surveying, project management, fundraising fees etc"
Times is tough - I'm afraid - and even worthy causes will have to tighten their belts.

I agree, but what about unworthy causes that seem to never have to tighten their belt and often have it expanded?Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
