Re: Karim's sentence hearing
I'd expect (hope for) more publicity after Dobbie's sentencing is handed down, especially if/when more is publicly made of the fact that Reverend Dobbie was a chaplain in the Chichester diocese who hosted Bishop Ball during his numerous visits to the school over the years. Sometimes it helps put th...

Re: A comment from a Sexual Abuse Victim from CH
Thanks for penning this, Colonel. It must have taken some deep reserves to do so. I wish you success in your dialogue with the school. I would gently suggest that through your palpable anger you recognise that this sorry affair that there are victims outside the span of Seaman and Newsome. Specifica...

Re: Letter to the Head Master
Your Limerick was crass, ill-judged and didn’t have any of the witty merit that sometimes means that such things are indulged. If there was a serious point behind the vulgarity then it was spectacularly well hidden. I complained, but interestingly the site told me that a complaint had already been m...

Re: Dr Ken Little
Rick’s death was a tragedy that stunned the school. I had no idea that a psychologist was drafted in to provide help - that was kept quiet. I wouldn’t have gone near the Chaplaincy at the time for anything - there’s enough here on Dobbie. Sheila Banyard was cold, cruel, and had an air of such sancti...

I’d rather hope that this was something governed by the law of the land rather than the wet statutes of the sky pixie people.Janey Jam-Jar wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 10:26 pmHe certainly should not have any sort of involvement with children once out of clink.

I certainly remember an alternative interpretation of the oft-scrawled ‘BBB’.

Re: Charity Commission
I wonder if the Charity Commission is a suitable avenue for approach and reproach for the School? They probably take a dim view of institutional child abuse, however historical.

Re: What was the food chain?
I can’t resist an alternative a response to the thread title:
The food was undoubtedly wholesome, nutritious, and delicious - right up until the point where it entered the CH Kitchens.
Mrs Keely made Lucrezia Borgia seem like Nigella.

Re: Christ's Hospital / The Church of England / Child Abuse
This issue of references is important and also actionable. As CH moved Karim on knowing full well he was a bad’un but supplied a reference that was sufficiently glowing for him to obtain employment elsewhere, then that is serious misconduct and a failure to even faintly recognise the obligation to p...
