The other thing is, was the trip to the USA really necessary? And most important, were the expenses for the trip covered by the contributors? Looks like someone (quite a few of the youngsters actually) just went there to have some fun and shoot a couple of promos.
with today's technology, you don't really need to take trips do you ? You can skype to discuss things, you can fax. email. text and phone... methinks it was a great excuse to travel on a holiday.
PS we have reached our server target .. just hasn't show up yet. Should be @ £ 202 pounds now
BTW when DI mentioned in a video there was going to be a USA/LA studio he brought across an ex child hollywood actor, now mid 30's, called Matt Smith to see the Wembley set-up. Matt brought across his lady friend (can't remember her name), and it was decided initially the LA studio would be built in Wembley (actually where they now record The Banned) and Matt would record it from there until early January 2014. A flat was rented in Islington for them which Deanna Amato subsequently lived in. Then 2 or 3 days later his father Frank Smith was brought over to help build it with Daniel (the guy on the front of the appeal for the latest £400k who was basically a good odd job man for the first few months).
I met Frank Smith at Heathrow airport and we taxied back to Wembley, so he was straight off the plane from LA and ready to get to work. Commendable. This was Thursday 19th September. Deanna rang me the middle of the following week to say Matt, his lady friend and his father Frank had gone home because one of them (the girl) had infiltrated TPV and DI had made the decision to send them home!!!
Ok, so on the financial accounts... I will assume the cost of 3 plane tickets was met by TPV . This was probably mentioned in that financial statement as an amount for £2069.25. There was also a flat rented in Islington for them, that I will again suggest from the financial statement was the sum of £2440.14. Deanna subsequently used the Islington flat. £4,500 wasted with The People's money???

Deanna was also initially staying in Camden, I don't know those circumstances. Where are Deanna's accommodation costs from June 2013 until she left? I am assuming she has left!
Wasted money and missing financial accounts by chance?
This is the weird thing about the whole TPV setup. The waste of money and lack of transparency.
Surely if you were using money from public donations, you would take the utmost care not to waste a single penny, and would want the money to stretch as far as possible. You would certainly treat the money as very precious fodder.
In the case of TPV this doesn't appear to have been the case at all. Merely going by the released Accounting information (debatable figures in any case) there has been such obvious, blatant carelessness with the money. Do people really need a show like 'the Banned', especially given the manipulative rhetoric by Mr Icke that the situation is urgent, we are doomed, blah blah blah?
There has been no consideration for the fact that people might not want to, or be able to donate more money. People's goodwill and generosity has been taken for granted, and this is what is disturbing in the whole thing.
It feels as if the whole thing was meant to fail, or at least there doesn't appear to have been any effort to ensure it succeeds.
This is what sets my alarm bells ringing.
