[Baroness Cox said her failure
to register support from the not-for-profit company Equal and Free Limited - which was used to pay for her parliamentary researcher - was an "oversight". The crossbench peer also failed to declare that she was an unpaid director of the company.] Yes Cox a Oversight you wanted to HIDE ![]() [Baroness Cox brought controversial far-right politician Geert Wilders to the UK in 2010] [Minutes of meetings obtained by the anti-racism campaign group Hope not Hate and shared with Sky News reveal that Equal and Free Limited has received funding from an American organisation run by two evangelical philanthropists. Based in Los Angeles, Fieldstead and Company handles the donations of Howard Ahmanson Jr and his wife Roberta Ahmanson, and focuses support on "religious liberty issues" as well as art, culture and humanitarian relief work. In a 2011 interview with Christianity Today, Mrs Ahmanson said: "We are probably the single largest supporter of the intelligent design movement, and have been since the beginning." Questions about US funding? [Minutes from a meeting attended by Baroness Cox in 2014 state that "money has come in from USA mainly to pay for Muslim women coming to give evidence… $40,000 from Fieldstead & Company; and £8,000 has been promised from another source". The organisation has been reported to have links to a 2008 campaign in California to ban same-sex marriage and the American Anglican Council - an orthodox Christian group.] [A recently published document sent to Sky News by Baroness Cox states that Equal and Free "remain sincerely grateful for Fieldstead and Company's support". The peer declined to clarify how much money her firm has received from the Los Angeles organisation. However, parliamentary records show that Equal and Free began funding a House of Lords researcher in 2014.] https://news.sky.com/story/westminst...vists-12817087 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroli...,_Baroness_Cox Last edited by arista; 25-02-2023 at 06:11 PM. |
