Yawn!

Nobody is remotely interested in the CUK's survey on corporate governance (reply by 12 December), apart from one or two  misfits like me. Typical member response:

1. Yawn
2. Delete.
3. Whatever I say will make no difference.
4. Regret at leisure.
Most of you will have ignored or deleted unread, as anticipated, the 29 November CUK email survey on governance and  revision of the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association. Quite understandable. That is how democracy is relinquished.  They even admit that most of them do not even understand their own  Memorandum and Articles of Association. That does no stop them from seeking guidance from members, so much better informed than themselves, as a cloak for the changes that they intend to make. Just respond to their leading questions or say nothing.

Here is a link with a comment or two from an interested party, to the politburo's weaselly survey questions and the breathtakingly biased selective commentary grooming your response.

My request for a poll of the membership on the conversion of the Cyclists' Touring Club to a charity is implied to be an abuse of the system, the costs of which should be personally charged to me.

Future polls should require twice the number of member signatures 400 instead of 200.

Do you  agree?

 The charity wants you to say yes or say nothing. Silence is consent. There is much more to say but I shall shut up! Have I upset somebody in Red Square? Too bad! Exile to the luxuriant wilderness beyond the desert of CUK awaits.
