The Left-Wing Trust Handing Out Millions to the Migrant Democracy Project, Lib Dems, Greens and Many More

by Charlotte Gill
18 April 2025 9:00 AM

Last week I wrote about the extent to which Quakers are interfering in British democracy. Today I wanted to expand on the subject, delving into the grants of the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust (JRRT) – one of several foundations linked to Joseph Rowntree (1836-1925).

To add a bit of historical context (in case needed), Rowntree was an English Quaker philanthropist and chocolatier at the family business Rowntree’s (now owned by Nestlé). Like other successful Quakers (such as the Cadburys), Rowntree used his business wealth for many charitable causes. I don’t doubt that he was an impressive and honourable man who changed people’s lives for the better. The issue is how centuries old Quaker philosophy transposes to the modern day. Too often Quaker trusts in Britain sound as if they were being run by Novara Media. Just look at how Quakers in Britain responded to Wednesday’s Supreme Court judgment on the definition of a woman:

    It’s hard to disagree with those who say Democracy is a sham. Nobody voted for this and yet it’s foisted on us anyway. At least the pro-Pally f-wits in London are prepared to fight for the future they want. Everyone else just sits at home waiting to get shafted some more.

    Actually Net Zero was in Labour and Tory manifesto’s. It is just that most people have no clue what is involved for their freedom and their prosperity. ——Most will probably think that there really is a climate crisis and all we need to do is get rid of fossil fuels and use wind and sun and everything will tick along just fine. ———-NOPE. IT WILL NOT

    “London councils were the most likely to implement these charges, with responses revealing that at least 20 of the capital’s 32 boroughs have them in place.”

    So, although many London councils claim to be against ULEZ they are nevertheless more than happy to screw their own people for not driving the correct car. In other words these sanctimonious so and so’s are lying barstewards who in reality are dancing to the same tune as the Khant.

    Not damned bright enough to be aware of their own crude hypocrisy and lies.

    A mini dump.

    A short but grim read.

    As many of us on here have stated Hancock is bang to rights on the Care Home murders – Democide.

    I’ve been driving around my local area over Xmas with family guests and have noticed a significant increase in both 20 mph zones and surveillance cameras everywhere since the summer. This in a rural area with a p*ss poor bus service and mostly narrow country lanes with few or no footpaths. Oh, and fuel in these parts is 20p/litre more than guests pay at home. Democracy has died, bureaucratic totalitarianism rules.

    Green = Red. ———Public policies are strangling us with regulations, mandates and impoverishment with climate the hammer that nails us to the floor. The pathetic excuse that we are in a “climate emergency” is not just a slap in the face to hard pressed families depending on their car. It is 5 uppercuts from Mike Tyson. There is no tyranny worse than the one that terrorises you for your own good as these people never sleep.

    Why only concentrate on tailpipe emissions. EV’s are heavier than an equivalent ICE and produce more tyre and road wear, so instead of a clear new diesel, a filthy EV that will have to drive at least 60,000 miles before it is ‘carbon-neutral,’ will be producing micro rubber and plastics from tyres while causing greater road wear. I say penalise EV drivers for their selfish actions.

    Rest assured they will have to move onto this soon enough – as more and more people are forced into EVs (or nothing) they’re obviously not going to drop parking charges just like they’re not going to give up fuel duty, so they will come up with some way of ranking EVs also or simply charge everyone sky high rates if they can’t be bothered.

    They certainly won’t give up as long as the majority of those that vote tend to vote for establishment parties. No sympathy can be extended to the inconveniences and costs experienced and endured by the unthinking establishment party voter. Apart from the EU referendum the British people haven’t tried boycotting the establishment line by voting for centre Right challenger parties but it is way past time they gave it shot in 2024.

    “Councils argue that such charges are need to improve air quality and encourage people to use more sustainable forms of transport”———–The first part of that is dubious and the second requires that this “sustainable transport” is available 24 hours a day to every workplace and back straight to your home which IT IS NOT. —Where is the sustainable bus at 5.30 am to take people right to their place of work? Or at midnight to get home from late shifts or start night shifts? Why are we letting these phony planet savers away with this tyranny? People go out to work and have bought vehicles in good faith with hard earned money only for these eco parasites to come along and tell them they cannot use those vehicles instead of allowing them to come to the end of their natural life and is a diabolical disgrace.
