Blair to Use TATE for Wednesday celebration

[kenny g]

Interesting post over at Ian Bone's blog. http://ianbone.wordpress.com/

Apparently this is just a commercial transaction. Can't see how it fits with TATE'S "ethics policy" http://www.tate.org.uk/about/freedomofinformation/ethics-policy.pdf

4 Ethical Fundraising
4.1 Consistent with the principles outlined in Section 2.2 above, Tate will not accept funds in
circumstances when:

b. The donor has acted, or is believed to have acted, illegally in the acquisition of funds,
for example when funds are tainted through being the proceeds of criminal conduct; or,
c. When acceptance of the funds would, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees, having
taken the advice of the Ethics Committee where appropriate, significantly damage the
effective operation of Tate in delivering its mission, whether because such acceptance
would
1. Harm Tate’s relationship with other benefactors, partners, visitors or stakeholders;
2. Create unacceptable conflicts of interest;
3. Materially damage the reputation of Tate; or,
4. Detrimentally affect the ability of Tate to fulfil its mission in any other way than is
mentioned above.

Would be nice to get a really good crowd along for this.

This is the start of a "Groundhog Day" for any public event he turns up to.

Ironic in that the result of his part in "fighting for freedom" he can't step outside of his front door without the presence of a significant guard. The freedom of a gated community anyone?
