Free Speech Union Raised £60,000 for a Case Fought Pro Bono; No Public Accounting of the Gap

The Free Speech Union crowdfunded roughly £60,000 for retired officer Julian Foulkes's wrongful-arrest claim against Kent Police. The legal work was done pro bono; Foulkes received a £20,000 settlement. Founder Toby Young said surplus funds went to other cases, but no detailed accounting has been published and donors appear not to have been informed of any reallocation.
