Obviously a fair bit of money has been raised and there have been some controversies such as Jennifer James admitting borrowing some of the cash for her own use. Thankfully she had the decency to admit that, apologise and seems to keep fairly open and transparent accounts. However, others do not. Would it therefore be a good thing if those who have raised a lot of money through fundraisers were to publish a detailed breakdown of their accounts? I'm sure every penny has gone back into campaigning of course, but by publishing those details it would silence those who maliciously make comments about people using money to pay for holidays etc.

My money, my decision how/where I spend it.

No one is debating that, but when those with fundraisers for specific purposes take the same attitude then it could obviously become a problem.

Yup, also happy with my various donations.

I see there's at least one I haven't chipped in to yet, so thanks for the reminder! Another tenner in the pot.

Thanks, but no thanks.

It's always a good idea to have that kind of transparency. It's not always easy though with less formal types of fundraising, there really isn't anyone whose job it is to oversee that element. The individual controlling the money, even if supplying details, could lie. And many people might not lie but are just very poor at money management.

I’ll spend my money as I please.

I'd rather concentrate on the multiple millions funding genderism by cognitively captured grant making orgs - BLF, CiN, EHRC, etc.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I'll pass.
