In response to Josh Babarinde’s racist attack on the English, we announced our intention to launch a legal fundraiser in order to protect our identity. While the vast majority of people have been supportive, there have been some dissenting voices. In the interests of full transparency, we wish to address these concerns in full. When we started Wyvern, we wanted to be different. You will not see us appearing on podcasts in new Stone Island clothing or booking trips to Ibiza. When we drafted our constitution, we pledged to publish a full annual breakdown of our accounts for public scrutiny. We are a not-for-profit organisation. In fact, we have lost money in the process, as our directors have contributed their own funds to keep Wyvern operational. We are aware of parliamentary privilege, and legally challenging Babarinde’s bill itself is, of course, not possible. However, other routes are available, which we are currently discussing with experienced lawyers and experts from a number of leading European universities. Those who are not lawyers and have little to no legal knowledge have not merely voiced their own objections to our campaign- which is their right- but have also spread malicious falsehoods to others interested in our organisation, alleging that we are motivated by self-gratification. We understand that the prevalence of grifters in so-called ‘patriot’ movements is why people are sceptical. This is precisely why we placed financial transparency at the heart of our constitution. There are others who are simply talkers rather than doers. For far too long, we as Britons have remained on the sidelines, complaining for the sake of complaining, without taking productive action. We need to publicly oppose Babarinde, his fellow MPs supporting his bill, and anyone who attacks our identity. We will fight, whether we win or lose. If, after further legal discussion, we conclude that the chances of success are slim to negligible, we will be transparent with our supporters. In that event, we may still choose to proceed purely on principle, and those who wish to support us regardless are free to do so. Complaining for its own sake is not going to fix anything. Repeating the same talking points about issues on which we all already agree is not going to fix anything. We need to try something new. That is what Wyvern is for. To all our supporters, thank you. We will always have your back.
