Hi all, I just wanted to bring your attention to the fact there is a fundraiser set up for the burgled farmer's legal defence.
Don't know if I'm allowed to post a direct link? You can Google Rob Lomas fundraiser and you will find it.
Aware there is another thread discussing this bit fundraiser buried in there a bit.

They've raised 35k, their initial target was 10k (although it has been amended to 20k).

I think I need my money more than they do. They've got enough now.

That's totally fine, there is no pressure for anyone to donate and of course there will be people that do not have the money to donate but there will also be people who would like to donate.
Good legal defence will cost way more than 35k in my experience though.

Already contributed.

If the CPS don't bring charges, and he doesn't need a solicitor, then he can donate it to Farming Help.

Why does he need legal defence? He hasn't (yet) been charged with anything. Police are still investigating.

Might turn out to be self defence. Or does it need to go to court for that to be accepted?

Has the other thread been pulled as I was part way through and it seems to have disappeared?
