    I hope BG members know the answer to that.
    Is it

    a) that one has already been to the FTT & UT whilst the other is nowhere to be seen?

    b) that the arguments for one are known (and in the public domain) but in the other are a secret (even from those paying for them)?

    c) that funds raised for one aren't invoiced nor have VAT added, but the other does?

    d) that if there is any surplus contributions or if litigation does not proceed the contributors, rather than shareholders, get the excess?

    e) all of the above.

    I look forward to the BG sales and marketing team on CUK responding. Don't let me down Eek.

    Given how far the Hoey case has got I think the need for transparency and questioning is more appropriate elsewhere.
    Exactly what have I been saying about not attacking Big Group as it provides zero reasons to encourage members there to contribute to this case as well?

    *I'm not saying that is the case here but the approach used does mean that once you've sent the money you have no control over how it's being used regardless of the claims within the request.

    Mind you sitting on £5000 with a target of £250,000 really isn't the best way to raise money - you should start with achievable targets and point out where the other sources of funding are coming from. At the moment that fund isn't going to pay out a penny as it's not going to get anywhere near the desired target (as the continual attacks and insults on here aimed at the only people likely to contribute to the fund makes very clear).

    Good luck with the magic beans. ������������

    And I doubt any BG members will either.

    End of story.

    I wouldn't be putting money in LCL either. Nothing seemed to come of LCJ and LCL seems to be going the same way. And there is a common factor between the two. Just my opinion and others are entitled to theirs and they can spend their money however they like.
