Hmm, well according this article in the "Third Sector", Viva Palestina, also known as Lifeline for Gaza, was founded as a fundraising appeal by Galloway, the Respect MP for Bradford West, in January 2009, and ran a number of aid convoys to take food and supplies to Gaza. The organisation was registered as a charity in April 2009, but has never filed accounts with the commission. https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/commission-removes-galloways-viva-palestina-charities-register/finance/article/1219637 Also recall the problems with the Mariam Appeal in Iraq, similar blurring of boundaries of what constitutes a charity. Financial records were not available. GG may have good intentions but this sort of financial carelessness gives much ammunition to his political adversaries. He'd do better not to take political and financial short cuts, it smacks of arrogance. .
