In the meantime, while we're being distracted by immigration waffle, knee touching or and especially listening to the cow pat maths from a mixed group who have failed to control our economy for decades .
I like loads of you to donate money to a cause which at first glance you wont fully understand, hasn't been mentioned in the press much, but in fact is vastly more important than most of us realise.
Edit: 2.57pm same day. Job now completed. The funds have been raised. The problem is solved. Info in my 3rd post down.
Power to the people!
..only, without the tank.
Why here.
And some info and history here.
And an example of the gagging effect here.
Many of us have been fighting this PROBLEM for near a year or so now, petition after petition, thousands of letters to our MPs, huge 100,000 plus signatures in just a few days, just last week in two days flat 160,000 of us voted by petition again on this subject. We've made good changes to this gagging law, but its all very frustrating because our hard work can be flipped and rejected at the last minute!! ...gawd knows who and how the strings are being pulled but they are not giving up easy and listening to us, that's for sure.
Please have a search and a read about this gagging order, some things are worth paying for and this is surely one of them.
This is the plan.

'Tomorrow, Lords have to decide. Will they vote to put their improvements to the gagging law back in? Or do they give up and let MPs have their way? [1]
A growing coalition of organisations threatened by the gagging law – from Oxfam to Christian Aid, the Countryside Alliance to the Salvation Army – are planning full-page ads in major newspapers for tomorrow morning. They would carry a clear message: the public wants the Lords to hold firm and protect our democratic freedoms.
If we can raise enough money to run the ads, we can be confident they’ll get noticed. The House of Lords is the kind of place where newspapers get read. They’d be the talk of parliament’s tearooms as Lords weigh up how to vote.
The other groups involved will also chip in. But donations from 38 Degrees members will mean more adverts and bigger adverts. Please can you donate now to help make it happen?

Sometimes the Lords hesitate to challenge elected MPs. But on this occasion we can remind Lords that none of us ever voted for this attack on citizens speaking up. Neither the Lib Dems nor the Conservatives had this in their last election manifesto.
Our MPs need reining in, and the reality is that the Lords are the people in a position to do it.
So, an ad like this will remind Lords that groups representing thousands and thousands of people – charities, campaigners, voluntary groups – all support their attempt to make the gagging law less bad.
Will you chip in right now to make it happen?

It’s perhaps ironic that in a campaign that is all about protecting democracy, we end up relying on the unelected House of Lords. But the reality is that unless the House of Lords holds firm, the gagging law goes through. That would mean huge new restrictions on everyone’s freedom to speak up on the issues that matter.
And whatever you think about the House of Lords, these adverts would also tell a story that has been true throughout this campaign. The threat of the gagging law has brought all kinds of different people and organisations together. [2] We don’t all agree about everything. But we do all agree that everyone has the right to get organised and speak up for what they believe in. Let’s remind the House of Lords of that.'

I'm worried and kinda upset over this stuff as many of you know of me, so if you passionately disagree with my aims here could you be gentle or open another thread to counter rather than destroy my part n attempts to get this problem sorted.
Thanks.
