Soldiers Off The Street
Soldiers Off The Street (SOTS) is a campaign for homeless ex-service people. The Conservative anti-BNP campaign Nothing British has charged that it is a BNP front group.[1]
A complaint by Maurice Cousins of Nothing British was rejected by the Charities Commission as the organisation is not a registered charity. Soldiers Off the Street organiser Bill Murray said his organisation would apply to become a charity when it reached the £5,000 registration threshold.[2]
