FUCKING HELL, this shit is actually pissing me off! Their bloody orange crew are trying to criminalise people for asking valid questions, don't we live in a democratic society? Do we not have freedom of speech? Her silly cult should look up 'constitutional' law . I read law and I'm actually going to consider pursuing this a little more as I'm beginning to find Saff's behaviour more and more offensive. I'm beyond suggesting she needs help as I believe she is well aware of what she is doing.
I think that with everything we have seen on social media (hoping people have videos and screenshots) we can honestly ask for their Trustee positions to be suspended pending an investigation. I have highlighted the relevant legislative copy in red text for viewing ease

Policy paper Power to disqualify from acting as a trustee May 2016 1 of 11 Power to disqualify from acting as a trustee How the Charity Commission proposes to make decisions about the use of the
statutory power in the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 to disqualify individuals from acting as trustees and from senior management positions at charities.
Background
The Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 (‘the Act’) gives the commission
power to make orders disqualifying individuals from acting as trustees1 under certain circumstances. While a person is disqualified under this power they are also disqualified from holding senior management positions within the charity or charities concerned. This is a power for which the commission has long argued and the commission welcomes its inclusion in the Act.
The power will enable the commission to disqualify, for a proportionate period, individuals who are unfit to be a trustee in order to protect a charity or charities generally, other trustees and the public. The commission recognises, however, that this is a significant new power. It is important that the commission provides reassurance that it will only use it when there is a clear case for doing so and that the commission clearly explain what it will take into account before using the power. This paper gives details of the commission’s approach to using this power. There are important safeguards built into the use of this power.
Before an order is made there will be a notice period in which the individual will be able to make representations to the commission and, in some cases, representations can be made by the public. An individual will also have the right to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Charity) (‘the Tribunal’) if an order is made and to apply to the commission for an order to vary or discharge the disqualification order. The commission’s policy on applying to discharge a disqualification order will be informed by its policy on applying for waivers for automatic disqualification.
The 3 tests that have to be met for the commission to use the power
The Act provides that the commission will only be able to make a disqualification order when it is satisfied that each of the following tests is met:
1. At least 1 of 6 ‘conditions’ applies
2. The person is unfit to be a trustee2
3. The order is desirable in the public interest in order to protect public trust and confidence in charities3
The relevant principles of good regulation and the human rights and equalities protections will apply to the decision to disqualify, as they do to all of the commission’s decisions.
There are several conditions, but only 1 is required. I've highlighted the most relevant
Condition D - a trustee, officer, agent or employee of a charity was responsible for, contributed to or facilitated misconduct or mismanagement in a charity or the person knew of the misconduct or mismanagement and failed to take any reasonable step to oppose it
Example - providing false or deliberately misleading information to the commission (ii)
an individual, by virtue of their conduct, has received unauthorised private benefit and this has caused loss to the charity’s assets (including its reputation) (iii) repeated failure to meet reporting requirements (iv) a breach of a commission order or direction
TEST 2 the person is unfit to be a trustee
The commission is likely to have concerns about someone’s honesty or integrity if it finds evidence they have abused a position in which they were trusted to hold and properly use charity or public funds or any funds not belonging to them. Conduct of that type or that abuses the trust of others more generally will also call into question their fitness to act. Examples of such conduct will include (but not be limited to):
•
exploiting a position of trust for personal gain
• dishonesty, deception or cheating
• breach of a trust or confidence
•
misleading the public
• misleading a public body or failing to tell the whole
There are many other than apply, see here -
