"There's nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come" - David Icke re TPV. (Stolen from someone with infinitely more wisdom than him of course)

I have mentioned it before, and I will say so again, I wish some people would just look up the recent...and by that I mean just 10 days ago....over his latest venture into what he calls The Peoples Voice...a TV station he has set up with some £300,000 of his followers donations. By christmas not only was one of his presenters asking to see where all the money had gone, but so were many on his forums, some of whom had set up monthly payments.
After much haranguing from his 'donators' they were banned from his forums for questioning him. He has since produced a so called account...which I could have thrown together on a beer mat in the pub!

He now has the gall to go asking for more.....just do some research folks....I have followed David Icke since he started...I have agreed with lots of stuff he has to say over the years, and yes, still do with some of the bits and pieces he comes out with now....but isn't that the artestry of a conman?....look behind the smoke and mirrors please.

It makes my skin crawl that there is the expectation that just because someone is wealthy and may have shown an interest in 'alternatives' that there is an expectation they should cough up.

There is a very simple rule of business and that is to either fill a needed gap in the market or create a demand for your product.

There was not a gap that needed filling imho

TPV are not successfully creating the demand for their product - this is for many reasons but primarily because they are so far, not doing what they said on the tin, there is no sense of starting at a grass roots level and earning their way up, a total lack of transparency and the programmes themselves do not appeal enough to their core demographic.

looking to some celebrity to use as a cash cow is disgusting.

Looking brands campaign to help those with addiction I can see that it could actually change lives, comic relief managing it aside it will offer something tangible to those in need.

What does tpv offer that will change my life? an opportunity to sit back infront of the tv and passively soak up the information that icke thinks i 'need' to know? I threw out my tv years ago and my life has improved no end - I don't wish to go back to staring at a screen watching propaganda no matter what side of the fence its in aid of.

This is or was the chance to chip in for something selfless (i.e gifting money to the peoples voice for the benefit of people who are still hypnotised and confused about our world). Together we stand, divided we fall.
We all awaken together, or we fail together (the choice is ours).

Now that Cathar has waved his doom wand over TPV and they are a few days from closing, it's a very good time for revisiting this question.

What happens to the assets of a Private Limited Company that has no creditors, should it wind up due to lack of operating capital?

The answer to that question, is that the Owners/directors get to divvy it all up and go to Peru for an Ayahuasca binge

When the Ofcom thing first raised it's head, I speculated in this thread that perhaps this was Icke's intention all along. Funnily enough I now don't think I was far off.

Again, Icke. Issue shares to your donaters. Make them 'invested' in TPV. If you don't the only logical conclusion is that you and your cronies ultimately claim ownership to the assets of the company. Which would of course make you a total wanker deserving of the same respect one would give someone like Robert Maxwell.

We've already seen the basic breakdown of spending, so why on Earth do they want another £400K?

I was alarmed that they'd spent £75K on wages, but out of that original 300K+ they'd got all the equipment (which isn't on HP), furnishings, kitted the place out with lighting, plumbing, networking, flooring etc, non of which has to be bought again.

All I see to pay from now on is the bandwidth stuff, utility bills and rent/rates, and the £75K wages to the 'voluntary workers'.

Plus, there has been other donations all along the way.

They shouldn't spend money on Documentaries. People should send their own documentaries in, to be edited, tweaked, polished, and that workload should perhaps be outsourced to volunteers around the Planet to tinker with.

Something just doesn't smell right. Why call it 'ThePeoplesVoice' when the only voice the the people get is during the odd phone in.

A television channel, for the people, by the people. Yeah right!

It seems to me that someone can't stop thinking of it as 'their baby' and refuse to let go of the reigns, instead trying to build an empire of sorts. The reality is, it is our baby, it belongs to those who have donated time or money.

They supposedly have tons of stuff people have sent in as they asked for before the launch, so where is it? The excuse at the moment seems to be that the don't have the editing equipment. That could be done with video editing software for a PC, which can be outsourced if need be.

I'll wait until the end of the Month, but if things haven't started changing by then, I'm washing my hands of TPV.

Its quite straight forward what's going to happen. They'll flog the equipment to pay creditors, and Icke will put in a bill from one of his sock companies claiming for some non-existent service. It'll go into his bank account and he'll pay sean half of it based on some other fake bill for a non-existent service.
