    Is that a registered charity?

    You have included a (partial)domain name link. The one to twitter.

    You should be aware of this rule:
    To be on this board posts must obey the following rules:

    1. Any links must benefit a UK registered charity. The details of the charity number and link to the website must be given.
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.
