Ok, here is the information that has come from different sources, some of which I am unable to verify.
I am moderating what I post for two reasons. Firstly, and more importantly, I do not want to do anything which jeopardises the outcome of Tuesdays meeting. And secondly, there are things which need addressing via the appropriate authorities and that will be directed through them.
No.1 There is absolutely a link between FoSB and Mr Middleton, and the Campbells have socialised with Mr Middleton on numerous occasions, including celebrating his recent election victory. These links are extended through Mr Campbell and Mr Middleton and a third party that I will not name on here due to their political position.
The links pre-date FoSB and they have been working together in this campaign from the outset. The belief is that Mr Middleton saw this as an opportunity to gain political standing in the hope that he could fight a GE as a Green MP with the support of local Lib Dems following boundary changes.
No.2 There are splits showing within FoSB and their campaign with certain individuals being really upset by the nature of the tweets from Mr Middleton. The problem for FoSB is that they have spent so long denying any link to IM that they are now in an impossible position of wanting to publicly distance themselves from his comments but can't without the truth coming out.
No.3 There are concerns about the amount of money this is costing with one prominent FoSB wanting to spend thousands of other people's money, which another is questioning this approach - especially as crowd funding is often covered by donations from older Kidlington residents. There are concerns that terrifying the elderly into funding a vanity project is a bad look. The bottom line is that the money has run out and they probably can't afford to keep going, which is why they are throwing so much s**t right now.
There are more specific details and things that I could add, but I don't have total confidence in the information being shared.
