GLP are going after Sarah Philmore and are going to lose

It's giving "over enthusiastic youtube content creator takes on many staff based on lucky first year of google adsense revenue"

Or is it "after receiving huge over funding for initial kickstarter campaign, spends all the money on expanding a new business unrelated to fulfilling original kickstarter pledges"

I vaguely remember someone digging up an address in Covent Garden. Very spenny

Mostly dated 2025. That's just posts that needed filling, of course.

I also found one advert for a part-time job, 21 hours, in Scotland, dated 3/1/2023. https://goodlawproject.org/vacancy/public-law-lawyer-scotland/

GLP announced on 27/11/2022 that it was opening a Scottish office, though the job advert says "You will be working with a leading Scottish law firm based in Edinburgh either as a secondee or as a consultant."

What range of salaries? Do you have rough descriptions of the positions?
Would be interesting to know if the work could only be performed in London.
At 300k and 35 people it would be nearly 10k a head for offices - seems a lot

I looked at that too - lease liabilities of £395k in 2024 and £245k in 2025, so I wondered if lease costs were around £150k per year with about 20 months of lease left to run.

I think your assumption that GLP is paying for day offices is likely incorrect.

The accounts show liabilities for operating leases of £245k which would indicate that they probably have a rental lease term of at least a year and the rent is at least £245k per year

So far I've found 7 jobs, paying various salaries up to £75,000 p.a., and all have the same wording under 'Location', "Hybrid working. The postholder will be expected to attend our office in central London regularly – minimum of 2/3 days per week", for full time jobs (35 hours per week).

This makes the assumption that the job advertised as 2/3 days per week in London is typical of all GLP positions. The real average could be higher or lower

=((((52×5)-28)×35)׳/⁵)×£65
Max £316,680 ?

So Regus, a big provider of office space, charges from £65 per person per day for day offices. If 35 staff have to be in the office 2/3 days a week, let's say office space for 17.5 people 5 days a week all year. At £65 per person per day that comes to just under £300,000.

Have I got my sums right?

sorry yes somehow I didn't notice that. Then I think @ArabellaScott is right, they can use that space for meetings and hotdesking as needed.

Crazy how much effort and money goes into losing these court cases on behalf of the blue-haired community.

The registered / correspondence address is in Seal, Sevenoaks.

The job adverts specify presence in central London 2/3 days a week.

Probably just an address you can use as your Registered Company Address as a service. At a minimum they forward on your company mail to where you (or your Company Secretary) actually live/work.

I've used things like that when I have run a Ltd Company as a self-employed IT contractor.

Wouldn’t it be funny if they did and it turned out it was Tufton Street.

So have they got another top seckrit and very expensive central London address?

Bcs the Portland St one seems more for kind of hot desking? Or have I misunderstood.

The GLP’s registered address is the Sevenoaks one in the footer of that letter.

The Great Portland St address hosts hundreds of companies, lots of meeting rooms for hire, serviced office space, answering services etc.

GLP's current registered and correspondence address is 3 East Point, High Street, Seal, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN15 0EG - the office of Lee, Dicketts & Co, Accountants.

Above per Companies House and its website.

From a job advert posted in June 2025, under the heading Location, " Hybrid working. The postholder will be expected to attend our office in central London regularly – minimum of 2/3 days per week".

If, purely hypothetically, I had donated to a legal crowdfunder to support a cause close to my gender-identified heart. And later found that the money had mainly been diverted via some byzantine tax-efficient procedures, into a retired tax-lawyer's back bin... and had produced less forward progress than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping (C) Captain Blackadder

Well I'd be quite curious and then furious about that.

It's normal to have a registered office that isn't your place of business.

It's less normal to put a registered office address in your letter head.

GLP has used 167 -169 Great Portland St 5th Floor, but this might be a holding address as hundreds of companies are registered there, and it provides a lot of rooms for hire / serviced offices / answering services etc.

There’s a wider pattern in relation to this.

I know (from a distance) quite a few people who have made a living over the past 5 years from public speaking and consultancy - using their lived experience to educate the ignorant. They are now unable to make a living as the work has dried up. Those who I know are pretty much unemployable due to undiagnosed personality disorders/ traits that would lead them to fail probation periods even if they managed to be selected after interview.

Widespread acceptance /tolerance of critical theory has passed and with it has come legitimate questions/ challenge. The ‘public speakers’ I know either seek reassurance before ‘speaking’ that there will be no tolerance of challenge or they have behaved appallingly at one of their engagements in response to challenge. Both scenarios make them unappealing to the HR boss who previously hired them.

Good question about the address.

The registered / correspondence address is an accountant's office, of course.

AI says the main office is in central London, presumably from scraping job adverts.

I can't for the life of me figure out why GLP would have 35 employees.

I remember, some years ago, hearing that Stonewall had 130 employees, and asking, what do they all do? And Stonewall is a big organisation, and was bigger then.

will go towards our work fighting to stop hate

I think Jolly's definition of hate includes acts of hate against him, and he defines suing him as one of those acts of hate. Tenuous link but one that pays his bills.

That's some healthy income right there and a decent enough operating margin of ~20%.

Too bad the 'administrative expenses' puts them into a healthy loss meaning no corporation tax due at all. Must have got a hot tax lawyer involved there...
