Could be Gorgeous George Galloway. I'm sure he has a show on there.

Anyone can launch a crowdfunding page.
It is up to the willing to donate. It is not obligatory.

 

[SirGalahad]

Are you objecting because he is wealthy and can afford it? Or that it's for legal expenses?
Or something else?

He will claim he is not objecting, just asking.

For a wealthy man who claims to be for the people I find it a bit distasteful

Tommy Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon, the English Defence League founder, habitual criminal and convict?

Crowd fund if they like . Tis up to people if they want to chip in . I wont be.

Never cared for Salmond but he is a very clued up politician/ operator . Sharp as a razor blade

Sharp enough to

channelled earnings of more than £120,000 through a new “personal service company”. This would allow him to pay corporation tax at 20 per cent on the money, rather than income tax at up to 45 per cent. ... Mr Salmond’s tax bill this year will be reduced by approximately £35,000 after his corporation tax has been paid.
