** STOP PRESS **
1st Feb 2010 finally kicked out of the BCS for trying to run a business

The fascist twats at the BCS have finally kicked me out for advertising a "porn site" www.thesextree.co.uk even though they know its human rights web site, and news site inter alia and theres a recession on as well. So I can only say good riddance to bad rubbish, as they are a bunch of homophobic, racist twats who objected to the satanist angle as well. I'm straight but much like Obama I have a profile on glee as well. (call it the political angle as i object to the stance of Uganda inter alia)

 and now I'm out I can finally declare much like the British Government that they are no help to anyone and it is with much regret that I ever brought into their organisation or their qualifications in the first place. Call it the naivety of youth, when I thought qualifications matter, when I brought into the scaremongering and fear which they usually deploy to scare business off doing anything at all as I wished I hadn't joined, brought into the hype at uni now as it doesn't help you in business at all. notwithstanding the fact that they also left a huge gaping security hole on their email  lists which  they tried to cover up as well, and they are peeved for me trying to help them explain it. Oooops

Anyway I am no longer bound by their code of silence, and can reveal what really happened as I still have a copy of the emails which were exposed if anyone's interested in their f**kup

[observations:Doctored they stripped off the other mails so wouldn't actually be admissible in a court of law]

Letter Notifying Me of My Removal

(signed for!)
Letter telling me why (page 1)
Letter telling me why (page 2)
note: I sent them my views in an email before the hearing - but it appears they lost it, rather like the royal parlimentry courts of justice do.

Note: my recomondations are that any student thinking of bettering their career would be advised to spend the cash on hosting instead! As this lot are a waste of time and you will be judged by results, and not just words.
