J’Accuse…..
We have a problem, Houston; and another BIG one as well ……in a hijacked Charity that I
have been “looking into” for just under 2 years; and the same problem also exists,
indubitably and incontrovertibly, in other significantly more unlikely places; unlikely unless
you are a world-weary bod, who understands that there are many establishment-level
problems, and not just in child abuse…... I am not the first person to say: “J’Accuse……”
Here I am, as publicly as possible, accusing William Shawcross, Chairman of The Charity
Commission, Ben Younger, its Chief Executive, and Harry Iles, its Welsh Director of
Operations, of Criminal Conspiracy to Pervert the Course of Justice, in the skewing of an
investigation into a hijacked charity, the Institute of Brewing and Distilling.
I have accumulated over 250 relevant documents in that time, and, among other things,
provoked about half a dozen Trustee / Trustee resignations, along with the production of
some of the most profoundly stupid, absurd and bizarre emails and letters that I have ever
encountered.
The link at the bottom of this thread post is to a page on The Charity Commission website.
It is an “Operational Compliance Report”, about this “Institute of Brewing and Distilling”
(269830) and it includes a short paragraph, early on, that reads:
“Separately, concerns were raised with us by a complainant, who alleged that there had
been fraud and money laundering totalling several million pounds.”
That “complainant” was ol’ sweetie-pie moi, and the exact total of the RECEIPTS into the
Charity’s bank accounts, according to filed accounts, which RECEIPTS are in my view at
the very initial heart of the matter, is £7,437,553.
The makeup of these bank RECEIPTS, by year, as per audited (clean) and filed
“Accounts”, goes as follows:
2001 £4,000,000
2003 £2,093,553
2004 £195,000
2006 £632,000
2007 £209,000
2008 £308,000
Now, combining details both from the Operational Compliance Report, and from direct
emails sent to me by Harry Iles, The Welsh Operations Director of The Charity
Commission, appointed (bizarrely – he is not in Compliance in the CC – that’s somebody
else’s job) to investigate “Mr Gretton’s complaints of fraud at the Institute of Brewing and
Distilling”, very close scrutiny was given, with the help of the charity’s own staff and the
Charity’s Auditors, Chantrey Vellacott, (who all, perhaps, have a vested interest?) to
10,000 PAYMENT transactions between 2008 and 2011.
Our Great Admiral, Horatio, Lord Nelson, is said on one occasion to have put a telescope
to his blind eye, but Harry Iles is NOT Horatio Nelson, as are NOT William Shawcross,
Chairman of the CC (a fellow University College, Oxford, Alumnus) and Ben Younger,

Chief Executive Officer of the CC; I have made it my business to carefully involve BOTH of
these two, on top of Iles and the “Senior Commission Accountant”, Jeff Prescott, being in
this up to their necks in it, at very least.
The critical people within the IBD, that are still there, are KENNETH JOSEPH
FAIRBROTHER, “General Scientist”, but non-Accountant Treasurer since just before the
first, £4,000,000 RECEIPT above, “Simpleton” SIMON JAMES JACKSON, Company
Secretary and Chief Executive since 2006, and LEONARD SPECTREMAN (I joke not),
Accountant now promoted to “Chief Financial Officer”. Jackson was preceded by a BRIAN
PEGNALL, who seemed to leave with a £300,000 extra contribution to his pension pot.
CONCLUSION: All of the above named individuals / organisations, Shawcross, Younger,
Iles, Prescott, Chantrey Vellacott, Fairbrother, Jackson, and Specterman have been
involved in this sordid scandal, either actively in the money laundering and piggy banking,
or in a conspiracy to conceal money laundering and piggy banking, thus conspiring to
Pervert the Course of Justice, in the first place in the amount of £7,437,533, before
another closely related organisation is taken into account, The British Beer and Pub
Association.
In simple terms, any pseudo-investigation that does NOT invite the central accuser to point
them in the key direction, and then looks in all the WRONG places, is utterly false and
vexatious, and is INEVITABLY part of a conspiracy to conceal significant and fraudulent
activity, as in Perverting the Course of Justice.
‘Nuff said…. I have ANOTHER of these charades going on in the Avon and Somerset
Constabulary……hello DC “Andy” Bessell, of Bath CID; it’s mind-boggling, as my
Philosophy Tutor, Gareth Evans, used to say…
If anybody wants to initiate an Action for Defamation against me, then I look forward to
running my evidence and motivation past a Judge in a Court of Law. I can be contacted on
George at Grettons dot Co dot Uk
I note in passing that my concerns were first aroused when JACKSON, Company
Secretary, said to me over the ‘phone:
“I do rue the fact that we have to file accounts in the public domain.”
The COMPANY SECRETARY of a £7 million net asset organisation says this to a
PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT?
Thus, in the first instance of many, my use in language of the epithet “Simpleton”……
