A good read, and something we need to keep in mind with the referendum debate

    Has anyone got any information about the Black People’s Union? eg, the history of the organisation, who founded it and when, management, members and who the major sources of funds are etc? I couldn’t find any information on their website.

        They have information about what the beliefs are and what is wanted.

        Just none about anything else, so how can anybody tell if it’s a legitimate organisation that represents the views of thousands of members, or one bloke standing on a soapbox? Eg, ANTAR clearly states “ANTAR is a non-government, not-for-profit, community-based organisation driven by a voluntary Board of Directors and a small, dedicated team of professional staff.” and you can look at their annual reports, their Key people and so on.

        I guess conspiracy theories, the internet and phone scams, and everything else has made me sceptical by default…
