Bureaucratic Hogwash

How your charitable donations get spent! In office work, of course.

Sheffield Wildlife Trust has now produced its 'draft' of a new Management Plan. This blog refers passim to the process and the shameless manipulation of so-called 'consultations' that they claim have led to the plan. Local conservation bureaucrats have now, they believe, got this to a fine art after years of staff time devoted to dissembling during the years leading up to Sheffield Moors Partnership. There are many scandals associated with the production of these documents. I'm not going through them all now, but to compile a list of them would result in a kind of parochial version of Machiavelli.

But the first reaction is simply anger that public funds and charitable donations have been used to employ staff in this duplicitous scrivening. What they should be doing is getting out onto Blacka and getting to know and understand the place at first hand. Instead, like all their documentation,  it's driven by the self-interest of the organisation, their employees and the wider conservation industry. More on this when I've read the whole depressing document.
