To be honest, I think charity law needs a complete and total rewrite for 2023, not 1723.
Do you know certain favoured 'charities' (Eton is one) are not even answerable to the Charity Commissioners? How can that possibly be defended?
In my view, tax relief should only be available for tangible services to people and animals. Not, for example, for lobbying governments or spreading propaganda, which is more or less all certain 'charities' do. The so-called Taxpayers Alliance, for example. (It should be called the Tax Dodgers Alliance.)
That's already the law, the Tax payer's alliance aren't a charity.
Charities are able to lobby providing that it isn't their primary purpose., e.g., Greenpeace aren't a charity, but RSPCA or RSPB are.
