Title: I need your help!
Post by: LauraLee on 16 October 2015, 06:40:58 pm

Hi all. As you probably know, I have been fighting the Swedish model for two years in Northern Ireland now and in spite of my best attempts, it came into law on June 1st. I have instructed Counsel and am ready to raise a judicial review at the High Court in Belfast. It's going to cost ?7,000 to get heard, and that's where you come in.
 
Please don't assume that because it's NI, it won't affect you, it will. I'm hoping the case will go all the way to Europe so we can have the Swedish model struck down, once and for all and the state will leave consenting adults ALONE.  :FF
 
Here's how you can donate -
 
There's a fund raising page set up here - https://www.gofundme.com/3rikpo which will be a Paypal payment. (Ultimate goal on the page is set at 30k because I just don't know how far it will go, and I'm also raising a Supreme Court challenge in the Republic of Ireland.)
 
If you prefer, you can donate via online banking to the following Santander account - 090132 33624686.
 
I will of course, pop back here and let you know how it's going. I won't stop until this battle is won, you have my word on that.
 
Many, many thanks.

Thank you LauraLee, it is fine now.

Just a thought:  I myself am familiar with the 'Swedish Model', however, it may be useful for some readers if there was a link to a concise summary of the situation somewhere on the net.  I wonder if you might include more info on your gofundme page?  Just an idea which may be helpful and encourage even more donations hopefully.

As requested, here is some valuable info from SCOT PEP on the Swedish model, and the New Zealand model too.

Good evening folks. As promised I'm popping back in to give you an update. The first stage of my challenge has been set down for hearing on Feb 17th at the High Court in Belfast. A massive thank you to all who supported me, I couldn't do this without you. I'll keep you up to date as we go along.
