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” Image
2) “migrant-led social sessions” Image
3) “Nurturing and Developing Migrant Leaders from the Grassroots” Image
4) Migrant Action Image
5) Refugee Legal Support Image
6) Work Rights Centre Image
7) Has also given hundreds of thousands to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, which blocked deportations to Rwanda: Image
Image
8) It believes in open borders and has a Migration Fund for organisations that promote this vision: charlottecgill.co.uk/p/paul-hamlyn-…Image
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: Image
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…Image
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). Image
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” Image
13) Here’s Migrants Organise… organising.

How is this not a massive national security issue? “These Walls Must Fall”! Image
Image
Image
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.
If anyone wants to see for themselves, go onto this website and type in key words eg “asylum”: threesixtygiving.org

Why are Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell involved in efforts to lower the voting age to 16?
Essentially a longer version with images

"He will never take credit for it, but Alastair Campbell helped me set up @MyLifeMySay 11 years ago and has since opened so many doors that has enabled so many opportunities for young people."

Correction: He USED you to access the youth vote.

I haven’t finished writing up everything I know about Led by Donkeys yet.
Rough list so far:
- They are all past or present Greenpeace employees
- Keir Starmer prepared their defence in 2008 (when two of them scaled the Kingsnorth Power station in Kent, as part of a Greenpeace protest). They won
- They helped create and publicise the Covid Memorial Wall
- James Sadri was co-Director of Team Halo, a vaccine uptake programme sponsored by the U.K. government, Bill Gates, the UN, among others
- Sadri once worked for the UN and BBC
- Sadri promoted BBC Verify about vaccine uptake. There’s a UN Verify. I believe BBC Verify is the UK’s UN Verify
- Sadri links to Palestine activism
- Led by Donkeys work with German activists on anti-Musk stuff
- German activists hate the AfD (the German political party that wants to leave the EU)
- Elon Musk supported the AfD and Reform (who are also anti-EU)
- anti-EU sentiment is the REAL reason why Led by Donkeys and German activists targeted Musk: aka it’s about Musk threatening the integrity of the EU
- Soros is the biggest funder of pro-EU/ anti-Brexit activism. He also gets subsidies from the EU
- Led by Donkeys has advertised with Global (which produces LBC, News Agents and owns all the tube advertising)
- Carol Vorderman did a voiceover for Led by Donkeys and worked/ works for Global (LBC)

There’s even more than this.

“Just four blokes who met in a pub” 😉
I accidentally posted the first tweet twice btw - one version has more links.

Eg. The European Commission was part of “The Vaccine Confidence Project” with Sadri, the UN, WEF, others. Among other things, it helps reinforce the link between Led by Donkeys and the EC. Image
More in Common is the other significant link. It’s also funded by Soros among others. James Sadri is in its report from 2020:

Everything we know about the Assisted Dying Bill from a funding and networks perspective.

I've also done an article on my Substack, but I want to share as much as possible, so doing a thread too🧵 charlottecgill.co.uk/p/everything-w…Image
1) Campaigners have been trying to push this legislation for decades (not years, but decades): Image
2) You can also tell this from the Companies House profile of Sarah Wootton, CEO of Dignity in Dying, which show the different names this campaign has had given since as far back as 2007: Image
