If we don't get anywhere with HMRC, then we should take this to the media - they'll have a field day with this.
I don't think we should contact the media at this stage. HMRC are entitled to reject any application if they think it's not a charity - and given the absense of any UK charities doing similar things to Wikimedia UK it's not completely unreasonable what they've done. They've found a case whcih supports rejecting the application so they've done that.
Complaining to the media or to politicians could reflect badly on us before we've exhausted the avenues for appeal.
