Would you please stop disparaging all the hard work done by various people in setting up and running the original WMUK!
WMUK did a lot of things, and very successfully too as even a little research would show. I realise you would like to think we were all useless, but we weren't.
You keep saying this, but have yet to give any examples beyond some PR work (which David did prior to the chapter's creation).

To date, no funds have been raised in the UK, with or without the income tax recovered. Hence, fund raising over the past two years was all USA based.
again, I do wish people wouldn't keep trying to state things as facts which they do not know about. WMUK *did* receive funds, and these were used in part-payment of the start-up and operating debts.
Your start up got as far as incorporation, which carries a fee of £30 if memory serves. That's a trivial amount of income for over 2 years. Any other income you got you wasted, so I would keep quiet about that if I were you.
