Over the last year I’ve looked through a lot of Quaker grants and it hasn’t been pretty. I’d go as far as to say Quaker foundations are one of the main culprits when it comes to the promotion of open borders.

It’s been just over a week since the Government announced plans to introduce digital ID cards. According to a press release from Number 10, “This initiative builds on the government’s crackdown on illegal working and its mission to control borders as part of the Plan for Change.”

What crackdown? You may wonder… Never mind the idea that digital ID will prevent illegal working.

This justification is clearly ridiculous when you look at the thousands of UK charities and organisations being allowed to promote open borders. Many of these have deep pockets and are hardly/ unknown about by most voters - making it much easier for them to push their own political agendas through.

Readers of my Substack may know that I have a strong interest in Quakers - even devoting a whole section to the subject:

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.

Last month, you may remember the Met Police raided a Quaker meeting house in Westminster, causing huge uproar.

Over 20 uniformed police, some equipped with tasers, entered and arrested six female members of the activist group Youth Demand who had gathered there. They were arrested on suspicion to cause a public nuisance, under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the Public Order Act 2023, but have since been released on bail (apart from one who was released and will face no further action).

On the surface of it, the police raid might appear excessive and authoritarian. Even the most hardened on the Right could find themselves agreeing with George Monbiot in the Guardian, who criticised the police’s heavy handedness, recounting how “six women were having tea and biscuits” before their arrests.

My own view, however, is that it’s actually good that Quakers have had some heat on them. During my research on political funding, Quakers often turn up, undermining our democracy and subsidising causes that harm British interests. Too often their places of ‘worship’ are used for hard-Left activities, and Quakers’ ‘religious’ beliefs sound more like political positions.

To give you an example, Friends House, the central offices of Quakers in Britain, hosts an annual ‘Reparations Conference’ which was attended last year by the MPs Diane Abbott, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Clive Lewis.

These MPs happen to be part of the All Party-Parliamentary Group on Afrikan Reparations, which receives £10,501-£12,000 from Friends House, as well as £15,001-£16,500 from Rockefeller Philanthropy. It’s all rather mysterious:

In this article, I wanted to introduce readers to The Barrow Cadbury Trust - which regularly comes up when I am researching left-wing funding networks.

The Trust has enormous amounts of money at its disposal. Indeed, from 2012 to October last year it handed out over £43 million in grants, according to 360 Giving Data:

The Barrow Cadbury Trust was founded by two Quakers, Barrow and Geraldine Cadbury - the former being the grandson of John Cadbury, founder of the Cadbury chocolate business (hence why the Trust has such wealth).

Its preoccupations reflect those of Quakers more generally, one of the most left-wing cohorts of Western society. Just take a look at these images below from British Quakers’ Instagram feed, which could have been posted by a Momentum activist:

First of all, Happy New Year everyone!

You may remember late last year I wrote about All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) and their utter ghastliness:

I promised I would show you some of the worst examples of these random, sometimes sponsored, groups gaining access to Parliament.

Another day, another incredibly strange finding…

Yesterday I discovered that the Conservative government gave £250,000 to the Barrow Cadbury Trust:
