Mr E

I think that this debate has been flogged to death. Funding matters are
usually reviewed periodically and I am sure at appropriate time the
BFA will conduct a review along with UK Sport.

Personally I don't think that it is appropriate to discuss other persons
funding on a public forum.

funding is decided by the BFA the same BFA that we are all members of.
if this seems a hard thing to talk about it shows how obsurd the decision was in the first place.

Various people have said JW did not do this and he is too that
then it comes to light that other people are did not do this and too that and yet still funded.
the decision not to fund JW who is ranked so far higher and acheived so much more than these others who are funded, attracts ridicule because it is such a strange decision.

a nice detailed expaination from who ever made it would end the speculation
around the real reason.

I know none of the epeeists discussed here and wish them all well although I wonder if Jon Willis feels like he's in his own weird amalgamation of Being John Malkovich and Groundhog Day if he ever sets eyes on this thread.

I'm often left with the impression that you think that nothing should be discussed.
