Catch 22 or what.

If he wants to help the disabled, don't the Guernsey people need his money and involvement more than those in Jersey? Or have I misunderstood? Was Mr L hoping to benefit from support already put in in place at the expense of a territory not his own?

Sure, this man can afford to look after himself. But he was trying to draw attention to others on the island who have a visual impairment but aren't as financially secure (or as vocal) as he is. Or would your solution be to ship all of them off to Jersey too? You guys have completely, and conveniently, missed the point.
