I wish to thank all those who have so kindly contributed funds to my legal costs. The potential costs are huge, and this assistance is greatly appreciated. I also apologise to those who tried to donate to a GoFundMe account set up in my name for this purpose. Considerable difficulties were experienced with GoFundMe and it was subsequently learned that legal campaigns such as mine are not supported by this site and it was eventually closed. All money that was donated through GoFundMe will be returned.
