Maybe you're not getting my point, despite how many times I say it! What is the point of getting the attention of MP's or highlighting the project in a paper or the radio? What is this supposed to achieve?

Doesn't matter how many MP's you contact or how many newspapers pick-up the story, it's clear that nothing is going to happen as a result. So, as I keep saying, all of this good-intentioned action needs to be directed so that it actually achieves something, and as I've said repeatedly, there is only one practical solution - to pressure HLF into providing more funding, and to pressure them into investigating and sorting-out whatever TVOC have done with all the HLF's money.

You can forget petitions, EDM's, radio interviews, newspaper features. They're lovely but they don't do anything apart from maybe raising a few more pounds of donations. There's only one way this saga can be resolved, so why can't all this effort be directed towards a specific aim?
