No effect I can see but Richard who monitors these things is in interviews all day.I get notification of one-off and In fact a few quite generous donations over the last 24 hours which surprised me. (£66.40 in total) These normally happen at the weekend when I suppose people are at home, using wikipedia and then feel generous. This was a bit different. Can't really think there is a link one way or not.

A few jumps in logic too far.
We are independent.
The Foundation have been very clear that matters pertaining to the UK chapter are our business.
How recently did they communicate that?
The Chapters agreement is pertinent; in it WMUK agree to avoid "engaging in any activity that might negatively impact the work or image of the Foundation."
This is a matter across several venues of the movement - one of which includes us and our reputation.
