The Henry 'Scoop' Jackson Society turns a profit*

Hurrah! They have filed their first year's accounts with the Charity** Commission. I'm not entirely sure they had to, as their income is less than £10,000 per year. But here goes - for calendar year 2006:

Gross Income - £4,082
Gross Expenditure - £1,806

Happiness. "Scoop" would be a little embarassed, I would imagine, given it wouldn't buy a set of tyres on a shiny 747, but he's been dead quite a while.

* Or a surplus, if that's what charities do.
*yes, bizarrely it is a charity - it exists "TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC POLICY, INCLUDING THE PROMOTION OF RESEARCH IN ANY OF THOSE AREAS AND THE PUBLICATION OF THE USEFUL RESULTS OF SUCH RESEARCH"
