So, this large donation means:
- he has now met his original target (£25,000)
- which means he no longer has to return all the donations so far
- which means he can go ahead with instructing a solicitor, etc, knowing that none of the money has to be given back
I reckon he has lent it to himself, as the brotherhood was not digging deep.
Either way, as PPs have said, the legal spectacle will be amusing 😄
