This is the 3rd time I've tried to create this thread. So apologies if it's a glitch and they suddenly all show up.

The headline imo is a bit clickbaity misleading but, hopefully, it'll help some non-gardeners find the allotments.

the court costs in total were an estimation of £1 which includes a significant amount of donation money.

whoops. £1 million, not £1!

Not all cases result in a win though, and sometimes the person being donated and the money suddenly disappears off the face of the internet and Earth.

Allison Bailey lost twice against Stonewall, the court costs in total were an estimation of £1 which includes a significant amount of donation money.

Then the case of Marion Millar which began in 2021 I think. She received a lot in donations, at least tens of thousands are estimated. The donations were for a court case which to this day hasn't happened, and her defence was an MSP who wasn't charging anything. Marion also then shut down her twitter account she was using to communicate with the public about her case. So, dare one ask what became of everyone's money who donated to her?

From what I saw at the time all MM's crowdfunding attempts on various websites were eventually shut down for breaking the terms of service, I recall one of them saying they would donate to an LGBT-rights charity in response after finding out the context. That means some of the money that was donated to MM ended up going to a LGBT charity.

"Graham Linehan, co-writer of Father Ted, is caught up in a separate gender-critical discrimination case"

The article is being rather secretive about what's happening with GL. He is currently being sued by a homosexual man for libel, so far the judge has rejected GL's claims that he was just stating an opinion. I have a link if anyone's interested.
