In my last article for the Daily Sceptic, I covered The New Economy Organisers Network (NEON). To recap, this is a Left-wing training school for young people with very deep pockets. Funders include George Soros (via his Open Society Foundation), Unbound Philanthropy and the Paul Hamlyn Foundation (both of which have also funded HOPE Not Hate ’s charitable trust and City of Sanctuary UK). NEON has many other funders too, but I know these names the best, given how much they contribute to the UK’s open-borders industrial complex, as I call it.
Talking of open borders, one of NEON’s most famous alumni is Zoe Gardner, who completed its spokesperson training programme in 2022 (you can see her on the Far Left below):

Though she is regularly billed as an “immigration researcher” or “migration expert” on Newsnight and Sky News respectively, Gardner has become renowned for her extremely liberal, uncompromising takes on asylum. It seems that nothing more than, well, open borders will do, as far as she is concerned.

When Gardner isn’t on TV to offer her migration “expertise”, she has been busy working for a group titled ‘Stop Trump’. Most people will have never heard of it, but it was partly behind noisy protests in the Cotswolds two weeks ago when J.D. Vance visited. While the activist group Everyone Hates Elon posted ugly banners around town, trying as hard as possible to make the US Vice President feel “NOT welcome”…

…Gardner fronted a crowd that told

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
This is probably the reason Musk is all over the rape gang stuff.
Trump always appears friendly and complimentary towards Starmer but in fact he loathes and detests the man.
He hasn’t forgotten the insults from Starmer and Lammy nor has he forgotten the 50 activists sent by Labour to interfere in his election campaign.
He knows that the rape gang issue is extremely toxic to Starmer and his government so he is using Musk to keep a very bright spotlight on it. Trump is going to bring Starmer down.
The interesting thing is the profile of these asylum campaigners. They certainly come across as an entitled, privileged group. I guessed the background would be LSE or Oxbridge and sure enough. It would be useful to have a socio-economic breakdown and details of the schools attended. Certainly, their mannerisms and presentation style, whether trained or not, are doing them much damage, with the overall effect more likely to be counterproductive.
Haven’t they got proper jobs?
This small group of girls will not stop Trump, ever. However, the larger new super power of China, Russia and India, just might. Hopefully Mr. trump sees the light. The EU,UK and Israel, are not the way forward. Just the opposite.
China, Venezuela, Iran and the CIA have Trump in their sights. They have been behind the global corruption, since the 1940s:

Every revolting thing about modern Britain seems to be headquartered down Cambridge Heath Road. What is it about that god awful street.
Come and join us for some banner making with tofu and oat milk. Ha Ha.
They could just go to the Socialist Worker ‘banners & Signs’ unit.
We need to reopen the lunatic asylums.
Very early in a Reform government the Charities Commission, Lottery Fund and all tax payer funded bodies must be told to stop this.
“told to stop this.”
We can start by getting rid of the Charities Commission and the Lottery Fund.
The Charity Commission plays an important role in providing a register for charities as I know having run a local drama society. A more thorough audit of charities involved in political areas would be the better option.
Should a local drama society be a ‘charity’? Is there perhaps room for some other tax exemption?
Unfortunately none of these groups can actually hide, or change where left-wing politics takes a society – and it’s not to the imaginary utopia that exists inside these wealthy young people’s cotton wool-stuffed heads. The masses are becoming more and more aware of where these failed systems actually lead, however.
Most people grow out of their communist/socialist phase by the time they are finishing uni or so. There are quite a few for whom development stops there though; these are they, and this form of mental disability will always exist, it seems.
JFTR: Communist takeover of the universities took place in the 1960s. Before this time, they were generally regarded as bastions of the conservative establishment.
Interesting that they used more ‘home made’ banners to diss the JD Vance visit as they must have noted how many folk commentated on the identical printed banners at some other supposedly grass route demonstrations.
They are going to be hard to dislodge.
Yes, they learn fast how to dodge the critics. It really is deception at the highest level. So many “charities” need some deep investigation but there just aren’t the folk to do it…or those that could investigate have been taken over by the Blob. As RW pointed out above, this reflects on the way that universities were subverted back in the 60s and 70s.
I wonder if people buying National Lottery tickets know where their money is going.
We do the local Air Ambulance lottery. I would not want to donate to anything general like the National Lottery.
I bought a National Lottery ticket once, shortly after launch and was devastated when I didn’t get a win. I’ve never bought one since. 😀
Another paid twat, similar to that vacuous twat Springer, sad to think there is enough ignorance about for such activities to thrive, sad but not surprising….
As a supporter of Free Speech I accept that this group of people are free to speak how they want, even while I do not agree with their views.
Although *if* their protests turned to violence or damage they should be prosecuted.
Meanwhile thank you Charlotte Gill for exposing the funding streams of such people.
I agree with your free speech point but fundamentally these people are just paid by extremely well funded interests while representing themselves as grassroots campaigners
Except these are not really grassroots, volunteer organisations are they, they are to all intents and purposes businesses as pgstokes has pointed out.
In the cold war era these sort of groups were called Front Organisations. The left doesn’t change what they think works.
Excellent work. I wonder how long the grifters at Newsnight can keep falsely billing their expert?
Pelican House sounds like a fun place to work, not.
