Want to know part of the reason we can’t control our borders?
Charitable foundations in Britain. 🧵
1) Paul Hamlyn Foundation (£1.4m from British taxpayers 2020-23).
Here’s what it’s funded:
“No Pride in Deportation”
2) “migrant-led social sessions”
3) “Nurturing and Developing Migrant Leaders from the Grassroots”
4) Migrant Action
5) Refugee Legal Support
6) Work Rights Centre
7) Has also given hundreds of thousands to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, which blocked deportations to Rwanda:
8) It believes in open borders and has a Migration Fund for organisations that promote this vision: charlottecgill.co.uk/p/paul-hamlyn-…
9) HOPE not hate has won it three times - and had a total of £585k from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Here are all the other pro open border bodies it’s funded:
10) Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. Thankfully no taxpayer funding. But last year it gave out £3.4 million in migrant justice grants: esmeefairbairn.org.uk/our-aims/faire…
11) These include £180,000 last month to Migrants Organise and plenty of other migrant charities this year (as well as going back 2023 onwards).
12) Migrants Organise
“Towards unrestricted core costs to build capacity of migrant and refugee organisers to build alliances, effectively participate in decision-making on issues affecting their lives and challenge negative narratives”
13) Here’s Migrants Organise… organising.
How is this not a massive national security issue? “These Walls Must Fall”!
On and on it goes.
We have masses of foundations like this. And no one notices.
Part of why I suggest don’t protest is because we’d make more headway digging up this stuff and sharing it far and wide.
