Supporting my efforts

I welcome and greatly appreciate support towards my primary goal of securing the investigations into the response to the Covid crisis that I have articulated in my manifesto. Equally, I am very mindful of the need to maintain my impartiality on these investigations - this extends to ensuring that there is nothing which could be interpreted as compromising my impartiality.

The most important way to support my efforts - vote for me!
The main way to support my efforts is to vote for my election to IFoA Council. This will give me a democratic mandate that will empower me in three important ways:
  • I can creditably assert that my investigations are worthy of attention because my peers will have deliberately sanctioned this activity.
  • My investigations will carry legitimacy because my peers will have endorsed my credentials for carrying out this work.
  • My election gives me the authority to demand answers as I raise questions.

I cannot understate the importance of these three elements: their absence has previously undermined my attempts to raise concerns about the Covid response, even in the situations where I enjoyed some success. Therefore the most powerful way you can support me is by voting for my election to the IFoA Council in summer 2025 and I thank everyone in advance for this support - I will endeavour to be worthy of it.

Other ways to support my efforts:
  • Raise awareness of my campaign by sharing the details with UK actuaries, requesting that they take a look. However please refrain from sending out a generic mass email: one personalised endorsement is preferable to a generic cover message sent to 100 people. I need to engage with my fellow actuaries, not spam them!
  • Subscribe to my regular newsletter. This allows me to gauge how well my message is penetrating the actuarial community.

Financial support:
It is possible that some of you may wish to support my efforts through financial contributions. I do not consider it appropriate to accept any contributions of this kind: this would compromise my appearance of impartiality which is worth infinitely more than anything I could be given.
Notwithstanding these comments, I appreciate that my activity is costly to me. For example, there are expenses associated with running this website. Consequently I may explore some limited monetisation at some point. However it will never extend to asking for donations nor will I sell anyone’s data without their explicit consent (for the avoidance of doubt, subscribing to my monthly newsletter will never equate to this consent – if I do judge it appropriate to go down that path in some way then I will reach out separately for consent).
