Brake should be disqualified from charitable status as they act more like a Political pressure group than a charity.

True, I am kind of interested in how they achieve charitable status in law, under the circumstances.

It would have been the RNLI - but they're not on the list

How do they qualify as a charity?
Do they perform any charitable acts?

counselling ... brainwashing Encouraging to "hate that nasty person who uses a car to get from A to B"

No ... the only good things they did waas tackle the rogue mechanic/haulier and advise of the dangers of driving whilst unfit.

So .. er.. not exactly a "charity".

Independent schools (some - not all) get away with "charitable status" because they allow the local community to access their facilities outside school times. Brake does not offer anything other than a political point of view supporting red-green party politics and lentil soup.

Brake? No - it's a political raison d'etre these days as very little a-political about their ethics and values.

Don't they offer support for families of fatality crash victims ?

Because they offer a real and tangible service as in service for the public and in the case of the schools - a facility which the local community can use.


As said -= Brake's "counselling service" indoctrinates as it is subjective and not really constructive in that it encvourages wallowin in a "blame/hate/revenge" culture. I speak from the experience of this in the past. Best counsellors to cope with grief are the completely professional and objective ones which your GP can put the bereaved into contact with. They are provided by the NHS by the way You already paid for them with the "charity donation paid to the government in taxes"
