I went along to the Camden Open Day on July 20th 2013 and offered my services on a full time basis as I had just been made redundant the previous week. I began work as part of the Admin team - three or four of us looking at around 5,000 unopened emails from the first Indiegogo campaign. This was how Ii came about the emails from Sean to the IOW on the £10,000 cheque...
I was given the link to the emails and worked from home. This then moved on to working in the Wembley studio from early September, cleaning and painting the whole place. It was tough! There was a situation in the middle of September when a racist comment was made by Deanna Amato in the presence of a black lady which although she said nothing at the time contacted me the following week and I gave her DI's private emails address to make a complaint directly. DI's response pretty much swept the whole thing under the carpet and she and two other volunteers immediately resigned their positions. Within a few days I was advised by Deanna Amato there was nothing else for me to do anymore and thank you, and she'd make contact should she need any further assistance. I found this strange seeing as there was a huge amount to do. However, I quickly realised it was very likely I was 'removed' from TPV as I was the last link there regarding knowing about the racist comment and they were simply removing me to protect themselves.
Around a month later this was rangling me and I emailed DI directly. His response was rude and totally unsatisfactory. A few emails back and forth then I left it.
Knowing what I know now it is very likely this whole thing has become, or was always meant to be a money making mission for DI, Sean Adl Tabatabai and Icke's family, even to the point now when there's the new company IKONIC Ads working with TPV...company dIrector Jamie Alexander Icke IOW. It is very likely money has been sent from the last Indiegogo campiagn ended Februray 3rd to this company. For what? If Jamie Icke was experienced in ethical advertising why didn't he offer his services for free like everyone else? Well to me it's clear, money was almost certainly re-directed to the new company deliberately. The whole thing stinks,
Thank God I saw the light!
I have pointed out here and there on this site and on Earthlinggb's blog that these "racist" remarks from Deanna the Australian are not as racist as they appear to Brits in this country. Once again I will re-iterate that the word WOG does not mean the same in the UK as it does to an Australian.
It has NOTHING AT ALL to do with black people but more is interpreted as Greek, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese or Slavic than anybody black. It is a word that is of common usage in Australia even by people of this background themselves. My own grand-daughters being English on their mother's side and Macedonian on their father's side refer to themselves as WOGS.
Look it up there are TV and theatres shows called WOGS OUT OF WORK and so forth.
I am in no way defending Deanna but I do believe this has been blown out of all proportion. Aussies have a nickname for most any nationality. It may not be OUR way, but it is THEIR way.
