　　英國多個華人社團今日發起【一人一鎊支持張敬龍參選大行動】，為十九歲的華人青年張敬龍籌募經費，參加本屆歐洲議會選舉。張敬龍對各地華人的支持表示感謝，有信心能夠在四月底之前達到第一階段籌款目標，取得五千英鎊繳付選舉按金。歐洲議會之入場費高昂，選舉按金，比參加地區選舉高出十倍。

張敬龍是2009年度戴安娜皇妃大獎之得獎者之一，現年十九歲，若參加選舉，預計將為歐洲議會選舉最年青的參選人，亦為首位參加該選舉之英國華人。

英國華人參政計劃成員張敬龍在本週二（四月七日）宣佈有意參加競選，數日之間已籌得一千六百一十英鎊。在倫敦華埠宣佈【一人一鎊行動】之後，不少華人均即時捐款表示支持。他說：「部份商戶將會放置捐獻箱，又表示將會進行義賣，也有朋友計劃舉辦音樂會募捐，令人看到華人團結的力量。儘管一鎊的價值不高，但倫敦有二十萬華人，只要一人一鎊，我們便可以有足夠的經費，正式競選。更重要的是，捐贈來自普羅大眾，我的競選就有了他們的實質參與，我的政綱自然會更迎合他們的需要，我為華人爭取權益時，也便更有代表性了。」
