    I've had some contact recently with Martin on Twitter, These are his replies....
    - I do what I believe in. And I've been workng on both NRAM and MCD with many agencies.
    -Ive raised NRAM with powers that be many times, yet got nowhere. I think you think I've more power than I do
    There's another one about him not being an MP and that the situation is always raised at monthly MSE meetings....

    Yep, I'm up for that Keg and would most certainly contribute heavily provided it's a majority contribution. I would not wish to fund a Supreme Court appeal between the minority for ALL to benefit from.

    Sorry, but there were a load of last minute interlopers who suddenly appeared when it looked like success was imminent.

    IMHO - The only way forward is colossal media exposure!

    I agree. I am totally disheartened by this result, and have been avoiding looking on here too much as it just makes me feel worse. I have be racking my brains for a loophole for us, but I can't see anything. Even if we did find something, how do we fund the legal costs?


    I think media exposure is a way forward, but where to start, and what do we expect out of it?

    I agree, media exposure. Legally that's it now, unless new evidence comes to light and the only way it is likely to do that is if there is a proper investigation and that isn't going to come without pressure, and the only way to get that pressure is from the media.

    So where do we start? Watchdog? Local/national papers?

    Watchdog might be a good start...
