The last week was a difficult one for Mark as he recovered from his recent trip to London only to contend with the loss of a much-loved family pet - a formerly stray cat who served as the inspiration for "Feline Groovy: Songs for Swinging Cats".
As club member Lev Shmukler noted, "(Senator) Ted Cruz of Texas mentioned Marvin at the 'global warming' hearings, when Republicans were in majority."
Indeed, Marvin's influence was wide. He even got a mention from Mark's barrister in the aforementioned hearing of Mark's suit against the UK's chief censor Ofcom in The Royal Courts of Justice...
While we await the judge's verdict, we continue to raise funds to help cover the expenses of that trip including airfare and accommodation as well as legal fees. We are ever so grateful for those who have been inclined and able to support this important fight for free speech - which even if Mark wins - will not result in any personal benefit to Mark. The only hope is that a victory in the King's Bench of the High Court will stall and reverse the sick and remorseless power grab of the WEF puppets at Ofcom.
