I am tracking all the spending on @WokeWaste and bear in mind I'm a one-woman team:

And for paid subscribers: How university grants quietly fuel Britain’s border crisis.

Paywalling some as I am doing the project 7 days a week - mostly for free (until the last few months with new paid subs - thank you)

Putting this as it exploded. If you want me to keep being nosy, please consider a paid subscription to Woke Waste. I don't want any funding to retain my independence. With £5 pm/£50pa, you can find our where your taxes went & help defeat "The Blob"!

See the man who is tweeting this (left)? The X veteran “Farrukh”.

He’s called Farrukh Younus. He is part of Shill HQ with Carol Vorderman. He’s their content creator (clipping up videos they can all react to eg Question Time goodies and baddies, to further their shilling). Image
Image
Farrukh singled out the “racist bald man” Image
His hero, on the other hand, was the “Man in red” Image

Did you know USAID has gone to the BBC?🧵

USAID funds "BBC Media Action" - basically the BBC's philanthropic arm.

I wonder how many British voters even know this exists. They're charged A LOT for it too.

1) On the Charitable Commission website, BBC Media Action explains that it "uses media and communication to reduce poverty and promote human rights, thereby enabling people to build better lives."

2) "In 2023-24, our main donors included the UK FCDO, USAID and SIDA (Swedish), among many others." Image

I am in the process of setting up DOGE UK (@WokeWaste) with the help of amazing volunteers. I'm trying to go as fast as possible, it's just a lot of juggling balls (and trying to keep my own income going!). In the mean time I've written a lot on it #afuera

What would DOGE UK look like?

Why does Kim Leadbeater care so much about the Assisted Dying Bill? It makes *NO* sense. She has *no* personal connection to assisted dying. What she does have is a connection to "More in Common", whose poll was used to show majority support for assisted dying. Not a coincidence.
This is why she is so out of her depth. She has no connection, intellectual or otherwise, to the Bill. She's just been brought in like a QVC saleswoman, to try and sell us it. More in Common is the link (and below you can see more of the connection). Image
The UK funders can be found on other things.

The European Climate Foundation funds C40 Cities and Professor Mariana Mazzucato's UCL department.

Re Barrow Cadbury Trust, Ruth Cadbury is an MP who supports the Assisted Dying Bill & is a Quaker. Image
