Difficult to see how they're going to arrive at a just outcome here. Maybe the court appearances for supposed trespass and vehicle theft will be thrown out, and I understand that the cops, while no friends to hippie types, don't appreciate being used to settle petty scores, so maybe there will be a surprise on that front. What's more concerning/shameful IMO is the way the charity commission have washed their hands of any involvement, given what a clear abuse of power has been going on with the new trustees. Fairlie is right to warn of the dangers inherent in the charity model, illustrated by this case.
Did a search of Monbiot's twitter for 'monkton' and 'fairlie' and nothing came up relating to this. He's got to be aware of it, one would think, and they seemed to be on good terms still at the latest debate despite strong disagreements, so who knows...
cheers,
