Good for them. The action taken against them must be unconstitutional as well as immoral, and, since they have to close if they surrender, then they may as well use their funds in fighting it.

Well you’ve probably seen my take on this story. Just to reply to Roger’s comment, I think what is truly immoral is when a charity that only received 2.6% of its income from donations – yet 94% of its income comes from either direct charging for services or charging the local government and from grants (i.e. the vast majority of the charity’s income comes from the taxpayer) – plays the victim when without government money it wouldn’t be able to do 90% of the scope of work that it does at present.
He who pays the piper calls the tune!
