Our long-time friend and colleague (and Golden Eagle Species Champion!) Andy Wightman is being sued for alleged defamation.
His pursuer is claiming astronomical damages of £750,000 (plus 8% annual interest). If Andy loses the case and these damages are awarded in full, he will have to declare bankruptcy and thus stand down as a Member of the Scottish Parliament.
For someone of such integrity, who has campaigned for so long against the abuse of power, this would be the epitome of injustice. We cannot stand by and watch this happen.
Andy is crowdfunding to raise the £120,000 required to cover his judicial costs to fight the case. He’s already raised over £99,000.
Please help him. Visit his crowdfunder page HERE
His crowdfunder closes tonight at 23.42hrs.

Good MPs, Scottish or otherwise seem in very short supply. I can think of very few that deserve any support or sympathy. However, even to my jaundiced, English view, Andy seems a very genuine good guy. He would get my vote and has had my money.
I can only add my voice to your appeal to support him. At this late stage, every little will help.
Let’s put this another way, if you support a good guy, then maybe some of the other wasters will sit up and take notice. Stick in the price of a couple of pints tonight. Please.
