Another lobby group allowed to be a charity

The Court of Appeal has decided:

The Better Public Media Trust should now be registered as a charity under the Charities Act 2005 with effect from the date of its application.

The Better Public Media Trust is a lobby group that demands more taxpayer money for public media. It is no more a charity than the Taxpayers’ Union.

The courts have now decided that BPMT and Greenpeace are charities, but Family First are not. I think this is inconsistent. I think the law should be amended so no lobby group should be eligible for charitable status with a test that would exclude any organisation whose lobbying goes beyond a minor aspect of what they do overall.
