An anonymous complaint from the Scottish Office of First Minister has resulted in The Company Investigations Team within The Insolvency Service being asked to launch an investigation into the Private company limited by guarantee without share capital which was incorporated on 20 November 2019.
The anonymous complaint alleges The Free Speech Union are soliciting cash to be used as legal fund to protect free speech in Scotland. This alleged activity has been roundly condemned by Amnesty International and the ACLU. Spokespersons for both fake charities gave a joint statement: “Soliciting cash from uninformed citizens is a serious business. This should be left to professionals like ourselves who have only been scraping by for years now. There is only so much money to go around.”
A spokesperson from The Free Speech Union expressed surprise at the complaint. “We’ve been completely open and transparent about our determination to protect the citizens of Scotland from a Hate Crime law which should never have been passed in its current form. We will continue to seek funding in order to provide a legal defence to people unjustly prosecuted via this law.”
Companies House had this to say: “It often surprises people but Companies House does not have any investigatory powers.”
The Notional understands that despite the complaint, The Free Speech Union is still soliciting donations via its website: https://freespeechunion.org/donate/
