: It's actually ú30,000 to each plaintiff and therefore
: about ú30,000 pounds each from Helen and Dave (ignoring the strange ratios of resposibilty ruled by Justice Bell - see summary)

This was actually due to the fact that Helen spent less time involved with the production & distribution of the leaflet, so the Judge thought. It was ú27,500 rather than ú30,000 for Dave.

: Help them out by continuing the campaign regardless of the verdict.
: Who would want to donate money to be handed over to the McBullies.

McDonalds say they aren't bothered about picking it up anyway. What's
ú60,000 when they have a ú10,000,000 bill for costs? And compared to their annual turnover that's nothing. *sigh*

They'll probably claim the money anyway and give it to some wonderful children's charity, the saints...
