The '''Quilliam Foundation‏''' is a London based 'counter-extremism' think-tank which claims to challenge Islamic extremism in the UK. It was set up by self-styled ex-extremists [[Maajid Nawaaz]], [[Ed Husain]] and [[Rashad Ali]], all former members of the political Islamic group, [[Hizb ut-Tahrir]]. Incorporated as a limited company on 20 November 2007, it was launched on 22 April 2008, receiving much media attention. According to the BBC's Newsnight, the Foundation, backed by the British government, is waging the 'ideas' part of the so-called 'war on terror'. It has links to neoconservative initiatives such as the [[Centre for Social Cohesion]] and [[Harry's Place]]. In 2009 it launched [[Khudi]] a project targeting Pakistan.<ref>[http://www.khudipakistan.com/faq/ FAQ], Khudi, accessed 2 December 2010</ref> The think tank has been embroiled in several controversies since its founding for encouraging domestic spying and preparing secret blacklists of citizens and groups that it alleges share the 'ideology of terrorists.'<ref name="q1"/><ref name="q2">Vikram Dodd [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/aug/04/quilliam-foundation-list-alleged-extremism List sent to terror chief aligns peaceful Muslim groups with terrorist ideology,] ''The Guardian'', 5 August 2010</ref>
Although the exact funding figure is unknown, the Quilliam Foundation reportedly received £700,000 as part of the government's [[Preventing Violent Extremism]] Programme, £400,000 of which was given by the [[Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism]] ([[OSCT]]).<ref name="q1">Vikram Dodd [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/16/spying-morally-right-says-thinktank Spying Morally Right, says Think-Tank,] ''The Guardian'', 16 October 2009</ref>
==The Quilliam Name==
The foundation takes its name from Abdullah Quilliam, a 19th Century British convert to Islam who founded a mosque in Liverpool. This is an ironic choice since Abdullah Quilliam was an opponent of the British Empire and a supporter of the Caliphate. He also argued that Muslims should not fight Muslims on behalf of European powers, citing specifically Britain’s enlistment of Muslim soldiers against the resistance in Sudan. In all these respects his activities correspond to those that the individuals running the Quilliam Foundation today hold up as evidence of extremism.<ref>[http://www.yahyabirt.com/?p=136 “Abdullah Quilliam: Britain’s First Islamist?”], YahyaBirt.com, 25 January 2008</ref>.

==Relationship with Centre for Social Cohesion==
Until late 2009 Quilliam Foundation enjoyed a close relationship with the [[Centre for Social Cohesion]]. Together their members run [[The Spittoon]], whose future now remains uncertain amid the public split between the two think-tanks. On October 23 2009, [[Douglas Murray]] of CfSC accused [[Ed Husain]] of holding 'extreme views...quite appallingly illiberal'<ref>Douglas Murray, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/oct/23/quilliam-islamic-fundamentalists-terrorism Quilliam's toxic take on liberty], ''The Guardian'', 23 October 2009</ref> after the Quilliam director had taken a position supporting spying on innocent people.
:QF has become part of the problem...The nature of QF and its funding arrangements ought to be a source of concern to all British taxpayers, no matter what their political or religious opinions, and finally be brought out in the open...QF is currently cosying up to the Conservative party to ensure its role under the next government. It would not be a bad thing if that party's first cost-cutting exercise was to stop funding an organisation that has come to represent the toxic juncture at which intense personal ambition and government propaganda meet.<ref>Vikram Dodd, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/16/anti-terrorism-strategy-spies-innocents Government anti-terrorism strategy 'spies' on innocent], ''The Guardian'', 16 October 2009</ref>
The piece generated a war of words between supporters of the two think-tanks in the article's comments section.<ref>Douglas Murray, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/oct/23/quilliam-islamic-fundamentalists-terrorism Quilliam's toxic take on liberty], ''The Guardian'', 23 October 2009</ref> The attack may have been instigated by an earlier article by [[James Brandon]] of Quilliam in which he attacked Murray, his former employer. In the article Brandon listed Murray as one of the leading 'preachers of hate', one of the right's 'non-violent extremists' who has 'routinely demonised Muslims collectively'. He accused Murray of failing to 'distinguish Islam from Islamism'. Of his resignation from [[CSC]] he wrote:
:My time there was a constant struggle to "de-radicalise" Murray and to ensure that the centre's output targeted only Islamists – and not Muslims as a whole. This October, however, I had finally had enough of this constant battle and resigned.<ref>James Brandon, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jan/13/islam-uksecurity Reining in the Preachers of Hate], ''The Guardian'', 13 January 2009</ref>

==Low key government support==
In an interview with ''The Guardian'' in March 2008, [[Maajid Nawaz]] stated that the organisation would be financially independent, and that money was coming “mainly from Middle Eastern businessmen and Muslims who are concerned about how Islam is being abused."<ref>Owen Bowcott and Riazat Butt, [http://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/mar/01/islam.religion Ex-Islamists start moderate think-tank], ''Guardian'', 1 March 2008.</ref> Similarly, the ''Irish Times'' reported that according to Nawaz, Quilliam ‘does not receive government funding and is financed instead by private donors from countries including Egypt and Kuwait.’<ref>Mary Fitzgerald, [http://www.irishtimes.com/news/an-inside-view-of-islamism-s-fundamental-flaws-1.922867 An Inside View of Islam’s Fundamental Flaws], Irish Times, 10 May 2008.</ref> A New Statesman article by [[Shiraz Maher]] the following month stated: “The Quilliam Foundation has ensured its independence by raising money from private Muslim donors, while, paradoxically, the government is inadvertently undermining it by funding separatist agendas through the PVE fund.”<ref>Shiraz Maher, [http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2008/04/government-impact-young Extremism is going unchallenged], ''New Statesman'', 3 April 2008.</ref>

[[Inayat Bunglawala]] of the [[Muslim Council of Britain]] wrote in Guardian Online's Comment is Free blog, that the [[Department for Communities and Local Government]] had hinted to UK Islamic groups that if they were prepared to work with the Quilliam Foundation, they could obtain financial support from the government:

:"Some representatives of various UK Islamic groups were invited to see senior officials at the Department of Communities and Local Government recently to discuss the work they were doing with young people. Strong hints were dropped that they could obtain financial support from the government, but only if they were prepared to work with - and thereby help lend credibility to - Ed Husain's soon to be launched Quilliam Foundation."<ref>Inayat Bunglawala, [http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/inayat_bunglawala/2008/04/abandoning_banning.html 'Abandoning banning'], Guardian.co.uk, 17 April 2008</ref>

At the Foundation's launch, advisor [[Abdel-Aziz Al-Bukhari]] reportedly argued in his speech that Muslims should 'love, obey and respect' the government<ref>Ziauddin Sardar, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/apr/24/islam.religion 'To lionise former extremists feeds anti-Muslim prejudice'], ''The Guardian'', 24 April 2008</ref>. Former ambassador Craig Murray sees a party-political reason behind the New Labour government's support of the Foundation. He has described it as 'the branch of New Labour tasked with securing the Muslim vote and reducing British Muslim dissatisfaction with New Labour over the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.'<ref>Craig Murray, [http://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2009/04/new_labour_corr.html New Labour Corruption and Quilliam], CraigMurray.org.uk, April 2009</ref>
''
For some of those who saw potential Quilliam's early claims to independence were crucial. One terrorism expert, [[M.J. Gohel]] told the ''Christian Science Monitor'' that ‘if there are people that have the platform and the ability to challenge and expose myths that Al-Qaeda purveys then that is very important and significant," but added that Quilliam ‘will have to prove its financial independence to keep its integrity intact.’<ref>Mark Rice-Oxley, [http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2008/0423/p01s09-woeu.html British ex-jihadis form ranks for tolerance], ''Christian Science Monitor'', 23 April 2008.</ref>

Within weeks of Quilliam’s launch, however, the ''Evening Standard'' would report that Quilliam’s un-named initial un-named backers had pulled out, and that Ed Husain was seeking new funding from Muslims in the UK.<ref>Gulf backers pull plug on Islamic peace think tank; The Londoner's Diary, ''Evening Standard'', 27 May 2008.</ref> Parliament would later be told that it was only after this incident that Quilliam began to receive public funding, from the Home Office PVE programme and from the Foreign Office.<ref>[http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201011/cmhansrd/cm110315/halltext/110315h0001.htm Hansard], 15 March 2011, column 2WH.</ref> The result was starkly at odds with Quilliam’s initial claims of independence. In 2008-09, Quilliam received £674,608 from the Home Office, equivalent to almost three quarters of its total income of £915,456 for that year.<ref>Home Office, Freedom of Information response, 6 May 2015.</ref>

==Activities==
The Foundation's first publication, "Pulling Together to Defeat Terror: Recommendations for Uprooting Islamic Extremism", says that if Muslim leaders "must realise that the foreign policy of the British government will not be held hostage by any one community," and argued that the editors of "liberal newspapers" should "think twice before allowing column space to Hamas and its supporters while they remain committed to the destruction of Israel".<ref>Susannah Tarbush, [http://english.daralhayat.com/opinion/commentators/05-2008/Article-20080526-23da75e6-c0a8-10ed-01e2-5c73f881a09b/story.html 'The Quilliam Foundation'], ''Al-Hayat'', 26 May 2008</ref>

One of the Foundation's key aims is to cast doubt on the link between British foreign policy and the rise of extremism. In so doing the Foundation is fighting not only the consensus of the British and US intelligence communities and much of the security establishment, but also the empirical evidence from experts such as Robert Pape.<ref>For an aggregation of the assessment of various intelligence bodies and think-tanks, see David Wearing, [http://www.democratsdiary.co.uk/2005/07/ignoring-intelligence-how-new-labour.html Ignoring the Intelligence: How New Labour Helped Bring Terror to London], The Democrat's Diary, 22 July 2005</ref> While the Foundation is remarkably amenable to the neoconservative worldview, it shows little tolerance for Muslims in mainstream politics who do not, as advisor Shaikh [[Abdel-Aziz Al-Bukhari]] has suggested, 'love, obey and respect the government'. The Foundation has also tried to scuttle the political career of Osama Saeed, the SNP candidate for Glasgow Central, by accusing him of 'promoting religious separatism' and alleging that he does not understand 'basic democratic principles' because he once expressed amazement when one of Jack Straw's Blackburn constituents defended the former foreign secretary by blaming Iraqis and Palestinians for their own plight.<ref>[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/index.php/component/content/article/494 Quilliam Alert: Scottish National Party to endorse Islamist candidate], 17 April 2009</ref>
The organization has also recommended spying on Muslims unsuspected of any crimes, which led Jonathan Githens-Mazer and Robert Lambert to note:
:[[Charles Moore]] and [[Dean Godson]] of [[Policy Exchange]], have explained that this is a re-make of a 1980s Thatcherite counter-subversion strategy in which Husain is cast in the role of Frank Chapple the "moderate" trade union leader who was, they suggest, used to discredit and undermine the "extremist" miner's trade union leader Arthur Scargill. Husain, they argue, can help defeat Altikriti, Bungalwala and their colleagues in the same way.<ref>Jonathan Githens-Mazer and Robert Lambert[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/oct/19/prevent-quilliam-foundation-extremism Quilliam on Prevent: the wrong diagnosis], ''The Guardian'', 19 October 2009</ref>
===Neocon Nexus===
While the Foundation has been ecumenical in choosing its advisers, its endorsement of such hardline luminaries of the Israel lobby as [[Michael Gove]] shows that some forms of extremism are less unacceptable than others. The Foundation's lineup has since expanded to include such veterans of neoconservative think tanks as [[James Brandon]] (formerly of the [[Centre for Social Cohesion]]), who has also helped build bridges with such pro-war outlets as the notoriously Islamophobic [[Harry's Place]]. Brandon used the McCarthyite website as a platform for his attack on CND for participating in an antiwar protest with a coalition which included among others the British Muslim Initiative.<ref>James Brandon, [http://www.hurryupharry.org/2009/04/01/cnd-is-about-to-betray-its-founding-principles/ CND is about to betray its founding principles], ''Harry's Place'', 1 April 2009</ref> During his 2008 tour of the US, Majid Nawaz also spoke at the Israel lobby think tank [[Washington Institute for Near East Policy]]<ref>Maajid Nawaz, [http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/templateC05.php?CID=2911 The Way Back from Islamism], ''WINEP'', 16 July 2008</ref>. Nawaz also maintains ties with [[Michael Jacobson]] of [[WINEP]] who posted a response on behalf of Nawaz on the [[Counterterrorism Blog]], a website that devoted considerable coverage to his tour.<ref>Michael Jacobson, [http://counterterrorismblog.org/2008/08/quilliam_responds.php Quilliam Responds], ''Counterterrorism Blog'', 15 August 2008</ref> However, Quilliam was also attacked by the blog's [[Jeffrey Imm]]<ref>In a piece no longer online at the [[Counterterrism Blog]] website: Jeffrey Imm [http://www.unitedstatesaction.com/blog/imm-articles/092.html False Reports of Jihadists "Quitting" or Abandoning Islamic Supremacism] ''United States Action'', July 16, 2008, accessed 19 October 2009</ref>, but it was in turn defended by two other bloggers, [[Mark Levitt]] and [[Michael Jacobson]], both associated with [[WINEP]].<ref>Jeffrey Imm, [http://counterterrorismblog.org/2008/08/quilliam_foundation_and_gomaa.php Quilliam Foundation and Misdirection on Egypt's Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa], ''Counterterrorism Blog'', 18 August 2009</ref>

Nawaz was in the US to testify before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs where he appeared along with [[Zeyno Baran]] of the neoconservative [[Hudson Institute]]. He was also hosted by the [[Center for National Policy]].<ref>Andrew Cochran, [http://counterterrorismblog.org/2008/07/summary_of_statement_by_maajid.php Summary of Statement by Maajid Nawaz, Former Hizb ut-Tahrir Official, at Senate Hearing], ''Counterterrorism Blog'', 10 July 2008</ref> <ref>Jeff Stein, [http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/spytalk/2008/07/red-tape-nearly-stops-testimon.html Red Tape Nearly Stops Testimony by Top Former Islamic Radical], CQPolitics, 9 July 2008</ref>

===The Question of Palestine===
The Foundation's views however are not entirely in line with that of the British government. Whereas Tony Blair had recognized the Israeli occupation of Palestine as the central issue exacerbating relations between the Muslim world and the West, in an FAQ the Foundation tellingly presents the situation as an 'Arab-Israeli' conflict (to suggest parity), rather than a military occupation (it does not use the word <i>occupation</i> once). It draws parity between the Israeli military and Hamas, and while it has nothing to say about the crimes of the former, it accuses the latter of 'politicking with the lives of ordinary Palestinians'. The response to the question of Palestine ends with Muslims being encouraged to 'care about other conflicts and issues in the world, including Burma, Darfur, climate change, poverty, and gender inequality.' <ref>[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/faqs.html Frequently Asked Questions – A Candid Response] (Accessed, 28 July 2009)</ref>
===Double Standards===
The Foundation is clearly discriminating in the the type of extremist views it wishes to proscribe. While it opposed the UK government's ban on the extremist Dutch politician Geert Wilders (who [[Ed Husain]] described as 'undoubtedly an ill-informed, hate-driven bigot'), arguing that 'Banning Geert Wilders from the UK is not the solution. Just as the ideas of non-violent Islamist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir should be tackled through debate and argument, so should those of Wilders and others.'<ref>[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/index.php/component/content/article/404 Press Release: Quilliam Foundation challenges Geert Wilders to a debate on Islam] 12 February 2009</ref> However, three weeks later in March 2009, the Foundation intervened with the Bradford Police, the Council, and the Community Centre where Hizb ut-Tahrir was holding a public meeting in order to get it banned.<ref>[http://www.bedfordtoday.co.uk/bed-news/Call-to-ban-Islamic-meeting.5034541.jp Call to ban Islamic meeting], ''Bradford Today'', 3 March 2009</ref> The Foundation has also attacked various British figures for their links to Sheikh Qaradawi, yet it has been perfectly willing to publish its material on Islamonline.net, despite the website's conspicuous connection to Qaradawi.<ref>[http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&cid=1248078606878&pagename=Zone-English-Family%2FFYELayout Muslim Women and Unemployment], ''IslamOnline.net'', 21 July 2009</ref>

===Focus on Pakistan===
In 2009, the Quilliam Foundation turned its focus on Pakistan, hiring two new individuals specifically for this. In April-May 2009 Foundation co-founder Maajid Nawaz went on a lecture tour of Pakistan where spoke on 'combating extremism' in Islamabad among other places where he was hosted by [[Pervaiz Hoodbhoy]], a pro-war academic. Nawaz was accompanied on his trip by a security team provided by the British Foreign Office. The tour received sympathetic coverage from the BBC's Newsnight, which had a team accompany Nawaz on the trip.<ref> BBC Newsnight, 9 May 2009. The video is archived on Quilliam Foundation's own Youtube channel [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yixGca6zZg4 Part 1][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3unCtnLVZ-4 Part 2]</ref> In July 2009 the Foundation's co-founders went on another tour of Pakistan in partnership with [http://www.bargad.org.pk Bargad], a Pakistani NGO whose director [[Sabiha Shaheen]] arranged Nawaz's tour of various universities on which she accompanied him.<ref>Ed Husain, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/jul/31/pakistan-young-generation-west Can we befriend Pakistan?], The Guardian, 31 July 2009</ref><ref>[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/pakistan-university-tour.html Pakistan Universities' Tour and Student Leaders' Conference, April - July 2009]</ref> According to Pakistani scholar Ayesha Siddiqa, the organization also 'funded a conference of the vice-chancellors of various Pakistani universities to convince them of the project that [Majid] Nawaz later undertook' - i.e., to lecture their students against 'global jihad'.<ref>Ayesha Siddiqa, [http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/columnists/14-ayesha-siddiqa-an-alternative-discourse-209-zj-04 An Alternative Discourse], ''Dawn'', 2 October 2009</ref> The conference titled “National Conference on Peacebuilding and Women Leadership Development on Campuses”, held 3-5 March 2009. The conference invited Vice Chancellors and prominent faculty members from across the country to share their views and experiences on various themes of the complex phenomenon of radicalization. On 1 March 2010, it appeared Quilliam's activities in Pakistan finally bore fruit when it announced that it will be hosting [[Tahir-ul-Qadri]], a Pakistani cleric of mixed repute, to launch an anti-Terrorism fatwa (religious edict). Considering that the fatwa was supposedly directed at Muslim jihadis, the choice of Westminster as launch venue was odd, since no militant activity has been reported in the British parliament yet. Quilliam claims the fatwa would counter fatwas that preach otherwise.<ref>[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/index.php/component/content/article/630 Anti-terrorism fatwa launch in London], Quilliam Press Release, 1 March 2010</ref> The logic of such a move has been questioned by Brian Whitaker of the Guardian among others, who argues that it would achieve no more than launch a fatwa war.<ref>Brian Whitaker, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2010/mar/02/fatwa-anti-terrorism-minhaj-qadri Fatwa wars aren't the solution], ''The Guardian'', 2 March 2010</ref> The event was preceded by a PR campaign that included supportive articles from Douglas Murray and [[Boris Johnson]]'s ex-wife. Qadri used the occasion to engage in divisive sectarian politics by declaring Salafis and Deobandis outside of the Sunni tradition, adding: 'Every Salafi and Deobandi is not a terrorist but I have no hesitation in saying that everyone is a well-wisher of terrorists and this has not been appreciated by the Western governments'.<ref>Allegra Mostyn-Owen, [http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23810140-is-this-a-triumph-for-the-islamic-peacemakers.do Is this a triumph for the Islamic peacemakers?], ''Evening Standard (London)'', 26 February 2010</ref><ref>Douglas Murray, [http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23810140-is-this-a-triumph-for-the-islamic-peacemakers.do Why this fatwa for peace matters so much to us all], ''Evening Standard (London)'', 26 February 2010</ref>

===Attacks on Muslim Organizations===
The Quilliam Foundation has attacked various British Muslim organizations accusing them of having ties with the Pakistani Jamaat-e-Islami and the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, two mainstream political parties with large followings in their respective countries. The organizations which the foundation has targeted include Muslim Council of Britain, Islamic Forum Europe, Muslim Association of Britain, Islamic Foundation, Islamic Society of Britain, UK Islamic Mission, the London Muslim Centre and Da’awatul Islam.<ref>Martin Bright, [http://www.thejc.com/comment/comment/20601/denham-challenged-prevent Denham challenged on Prevent], ''TheJC.com'', 1 October 2009</ref><ref>Press Release, [http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/index.php/component/content/article/498 Quilliam Alert: Islam Channel and the promotion of extremism], 30 April 2009</ref><ref>Ed Husain, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/sep/08/moderate-muslim-groups-funding Beating the Extremists], ''The Guardian'', 8 September 2009</ref>

Ed Husain's contention that the government's Prevent strategy should target those who meet his expansive definition of 'Islamist', whether they are suspected of violent extremism or not because they "provide the mood music" for people like the July 7 bombers was criticized by Jonathan Githens-Mazer and the former head of the Metropolitan Police's Muslim Contact Unit Robert Lambert who noted that there was 'no credible evidence to support this view', but,
:it is one that Husain shares with influential thinktanks including [[Policy Exchange]] and the [[Centre for Social Cohesion]] in the UK and Daniel Pipes' [[Middle East Forum]] in the US. On this account, regular Cif bloggers Inayat Bunglawala and Anas Altikriti are described as "extremists" and "subversives" who should be targeted and stigmatised in the same way as terrorists inspired or directed by al-Qaida.<ref>Jonathan Githens-Mazer and Robert Lambert[http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/oct/19/prevent-quilliam-foundation-extremism Quilliam on Prevent: the wrong diagnosis], ''The Guardian'', 19 October 2009</ref>

===Against Civil Liberties===
After it was revealed by the Guardian that the government's 'Prevent' programme to counter radicalism was being used to gather intelligence on innocent people not suspected of involvement in terrorism<ref>Vikram Dodd, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/16/anti-terrorism-strategy-spies-innocents Government anti-terrorism strategy 'spies' on innocent], ''The Guardian'', 26 October 2009</ref>, Ed Husain defended the government's actions arguing that it was 'morally right'. 'It is gathering intelligence on people not committing terrorist offences. If it is to prevent people getting killed and committing terrorism, it is good and it is right', he told the Guardian. Of course, as the Guardian noted, the foundation has received £700,000 from the same program.<ref>Vikram Dodd, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/oct/16/spying-morally-right-says-thinktank Spying morally right, says thinktank], ''The Guardian'', 16 October 2009</ref>. Interestingly, one of the strongest reactions Husain's comments elicited was from Douglas Murray of the neoconservative Centre for Social Cohesion, who accused the Quilliam director of holding 'extreme views'.
:These statements strike me as quite appallingly illiberal: wrong in principle because the police should not investigate innocent people and very obviously damaging in practice...Husain also seems to be under the impression that if a Muslim seems "suspicious" to anyone, the police should be called straight away...Husain, in particular, ought to know the difference between a police state – especially since his co-director was until recently in such a state's prisons – and a developed liberal democracy...QF is now using public money to advocate increasingly totalitarian attitudes towards the general public and judging Muslims by their own early standards.<ref>Douglas Murray, [http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/oct/23/quilliam-islamic-fundamentalists-terrorism Quilliam's toxic take on liberty], ''The Guardian'', 23 October 2009</ref>

===The Spittoon===
While the Foundation under its own name employs press releases, alerts, and its contacts in the media and politics to take on opponents, its members are also associated with the blog The Spittoon where they attack critics anonymously in less temperate manner. Key targets have included Inayat Banglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain<ref>Admin 1 (George Reading), [http://www.spittoon.org/archives/1065 Bungles continues comical crusade against Quilliam], ''The Spittoon'', 15 June 2009</ref> and Bob Pitt of Islamophobia Watch<ref>Yossarian, [http://www.spittoon.org/archives/2289 Bob and Bungle – Forget the BNP, let’s attack Quilliam], ''The Spittoon'', 20 August 2009</ref>.

==Quilliam and the EDL==
In July 2011, announced that it was holding a roundtable meeting with two former activists in the [[English Defence League]], [[Leighton Evans]] and [[Harry Burns]].
<ref name="IWEDL">Bob Pitt, [http://www.islamophobiawatch.co.uk/quilliams-former-edl-members-speak-out-stunt-unravels/ Quilliam's 'Former EDL members speak out' stunt unravels], ''Islamophobia Watch'', 15 July 2011.</ref><ref name="RBEDL">Richard Bartholomew, [http://barthsnotes.com/2011/07/17/quilliam-foundation-abused-by-advertised-former-edl-speaker/ Quilliam Foundation Abused by Advertised "Former EDL" Speaker], Bartholomew's Notes on Religion, 17 July 2011.</ref> Both Leighton and Burns had been involved with an '[[Anti-Extremism Alliance]] that had protested against a [[Hizb-ut Tahrir]] meeting in East London, earlier that month.<ref name="IWEDL">Bob Pitt, [http://www.islamophobiawatch.co.uk/quilliams-former-edl-members-speak-out-stunt-unravels/ Quilliam's 'Former EDL members speak out' stunt unravels], ''Islamophobia Watch'', 15 July 2011.</ref> Quilliam had also criticised the HuT meeting in the local press.<ref>Nadia Sam-Daliri, [http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/campaigners_hit_out_at_hate_peddling_group_s_east_end_conference_1_938873?ot=archant.PrintFriendlyPageLayout.ot Campaigners hit out at "hate peddling" group's East End conference], East London Advertiser, 27 June 2011.</ref> An open letter on the issue carried on the Anti Extremism Alliance website listed Quilliam's [[Ghaffar Hussain]] among the signatories.<ref>[https://antiextremismallianceblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/05/open-letter-to-tower-hamlets-council-and-east-london-advertiser/ Open letter to Tower Hamlets Council and East London Advertiser], Anti-Extremism Alliance, 5 July 2011.</ref>

Quilliam's initial statement on its roundtable meeting said that: "For the first time ever, Quilliam is able to bring together former senior members of the EDL who have renounced the group and are willing to speak out against it publicly and to answer questions about the organisation and their time inside it.”<ref name="IWEDL">Bob Pitt, [http://www.islamophobiawatch.co.uk/quilliams-former-edl-members-speak-out-stunt-unravels/ Quilliam's 'Former EDL members speak out' stunt unravels], ''Islamophobia Watch'', 15 July 2011.</ref> However, Evans subsequently stated in a Facebook post:
:i refused to go along with what the quilliam wanted me to do which was renounce the edl. i wont do that and it was never on the agenda in my email exchanges with ghaffar hussain. he said i’d be asked why i joined, what i did, why i left and what i think know. he then released that load of old bollocks which i was never party to.<ref name="RBEDL">Richard Bartholomew, [http://barthsnotes.com/2011/07/17/quilliam-foundation-abused-by-advertised-former-edl-speaker/ Quilliam Foundation Abused by Advertised "Former EDL" Speaker], Bartholomew's Notes on Religion, 17 July 2011.</ref>

===Stephen Yaxley-Lennon===
In October 2013, Quilliam put out a press release entitled 'Quilliam facilitates Tommy Robinson leaving the [[English Defence League]]' (EDL) and held a press conference to announce that the [[EDL]] founder - real name [[Stephen Yaxley-Lennon]] was leaving the far-right street movement. [[Kevin Carroll]] also departed the group and QF stated their reason for leaving was that 'they feel they can no longer keep extremist elements at bay.'<ref name="Tommy">[http://www.quilliamfoundation.org/press/quilliam-facilitates-tommy-robinson-leaving-the-english-defence-league/ QUILLIAM FACILITATES TOMMY ROBINSON LEAVING THE ENGLISH DEFENCE LEAGUE], Quilliam Foundation, 8 October 2013, accessed 17 December 2015</ref>

The press release stated: 'Quilliam has been working with Tommy to achieve this transition, which represents a huge success for community relations in the United Kingdom. We have previously identified the symbiotic relationship between far-right extremism and Islamism and think that this event can dismantle the underpinnings of one phenomenon while removing the need for the other phenomenon.'<ref name="Tommy"/>

Days later, Ben Quinn noted in the Guardian that 'senior figures working in the growing field of the study of counter-extremism and the rehabilitation of former extremists have been viewing [Quilliam's] link-up with Robinson as a high-stakes gamble that has raised serious questions about the motivations of an organisation that has played a particularly controversial role.' Academic [[Matthew Goodwin]] for instance described the arrangement as 'disingenuous nonsense'. Quinn notes that according to the latest published accounts - for the financial year up to March 2012, the high-profile injection of publicity that came with their dealings with Lennon also came 'at a time when it may be facing challenging financial circumstances'.<ref name="Quinn">Ben Quinn, [http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/12/tommy-robinson-quilliam-foundation-questions-motivation Tommy Robinson link with Quilliam Foundation raises questions], Guardian, 12 October 2013</ref>

Quinn noted:

:'Two years after the Home Office began to wind down its funding for the organisation, those accounts show that Quilliam was facing mounting debts, while having little in the way of relative assets. Income from training, consultancy and publications were haemorrhaging, while its income from grants and donations fell from just over £900,000 in 2011 to £532,099 in 2012. The company was in particular trouble in 2011, making a loss, but after taking radical action to cut back on expenses and parting company with half of its staff, it was just about able to make it into the red again in the following year, when Nawaz paid himself £77,438.'<ref name="Quinn"/>

In December 2013, the blog Political Scrapbook reported that an FOI request to the Home Office had shown that QF received zero public funding, contradicting the organisation's website which described it as 'funded by both private and public funds'.<ref>[http://politicalscrapbook.net/2013/12/quilliam-foundation-deny-closure-threat-before-tommy-robinson-link-up/ QUILLIAM FOUNDATION DENY ‘CLOSURE THREAT’ BEFORE ROBINSON LINK-UP], Political Scrapbook, 4 December 2013</ref>

====Payments to Lennon====
Just months after Lennon left the [[EDL]] it became clear from statements he posted on twitter that his views had not changed. In early December 2015, this was confirmed when he announced he was starting [[Pegida UK]], a branch of the German anti-Islam, anti-immigrant movement. Days later it emerged that Quilliam had made payments to him around the time it was 'facilitating his departure' from the EDL.

''Huffington Post'' reported that in his newly published book 'Enemy of the State', Lennon claimed that 'he was on the Quilliam payroll for six months and received about £8,000.'<ref name="Hopkins">[http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/12/03/tommy-robinson-claims-quilliam-paid-him-to-leave-edl_n_8710834.html Tommy Robinson, Former EDL Leader, Claims Quilliam Paid Him To Quit Far-Right Group], Huffington Post, 4 December 2015</ref>

In a statement, Quilliam responded: 'Quilliam never claimed to "deradicalise" Tommy, nor "reform" him, only that we facilitated his departure from the EDL. Quilliam cannot comment on Tommy's intentions (or "staging") for leaving the EDL, as it cannot read his mind. We simply helped him leave the EDL, rendering that group leaderless since. Tommy has never been a Quilliam member of staff, nor on our payroll, nor did he join Quilliam. Tommy was remunerated, as an external actor, after invoicing us for costs associated with outreach that he & Dr Usama Hassan did to Muslim communities after Tommy's departure from the EDL, in an attempt to reconcile Tommy with our Muslim communities.'<ref name="Hopkins"/>

Robinson reportedly called Quilliam's response 'PR-Spin'. He also wrote in his book that he had been 'in a desperate place' at the time, and characterised his relationship with Quilliam as one in which 'I was using them, they were using me'.<ref name="Hopkins"/> In February 2014, emails obtained by the Political Scrapbook blog under FOI showed that [[Maajid Nawaz]] had contacted [[Mark Carroll]], head of counter-extremism at the [[Department for Communities and Local Government]] to ask for funding for QF, including specifically making mention of the organisation's need for finances in order to 'cut off [Robinson's] previous dependency on EDL donors'.<ref>[http://politicalscrapbook.net/2014/02/quilliam-foundation-wanted-taxpayer-cash-for-tommy-robinson/ QUILLIAM FOUNDATION WANTED TAXPAYER CASH FOR TOMMY ROBINSON], Political Scrapbook, 3 February 2014</ref>

==Gatestone Institute==
In January 2015, just days after the Paris attacks targeting magazine [[Charlie Hebdo]] and a kosher supermarket, [[Usama Hasan]] and [[Maajid Nawaz]] of the Quilliam Foundation were among the signatories of a statement put together by the [[Gatestone Institute]]. Hilary Aked writes:

:Gatestone spent approximately $100,000 taking out a full page advert in the New York Times. To drive home its implicit message that a 'good Muslim' supports US power, two out of the three Muslims pictured in the Gatestone advert were posing next to the American flag. Mentioning violence in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt – and, 'Africa' - the text of the advertisement effortlessly ignored all other violence in the world not involving any of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims and simultaneously glossed over the context-specific political factors at play in each conflict. The subtext was very clear: Gatestone was advocating a mono-causal explanation for this violence and put the spotlight firmly on Islam.

:Ostensibly a 'counter-extremism' initiative, this advert was typical of how contemporary anti-Muslim racism is articulated: by generalizing specific behaviours and attributing them deterministically to religious ideology. This fundamental problem of collectively imputing blame is not negated by the fact that all 23 signatories were Muslims. Though the statement calls on 'all people of conscience' to sign up, since the word 'duty' is twice used in relation to Muslims it is clear that they, far more than others, are expected to prove they reject violence. Thus the Gatestone declaration serves the same function as the so-called 'Charter of Muslim Understanding', which similarly called for Muslims to be required to make special denunciations. Commissioned by [[UKIP]]’s [[Gerard Batten]], that document was called 'frightening' even by pro-Israel Tory MP [[Robert Halfon]], who compared it to a first step towards wearing a yellow star, as Jews were required to do under Nazi rule.<ref name="Aked2">Hilary Aked, [http://www.alternet.org/investigations/one-americas-most-dangerous-think-tanks-spreading-islamophobic-hate-across-atlantic One of America's Most Dangerous Think Tanks is Spreading Hate Across the Atlantic], Alternet, 23 November 2015</ref>

==Quilliam U.S.==
Quilliam was incorporated in California in January 2009.<ref>[http://kepler.sos.ca.gov/ Business Search], California Secretary of State, accessed 12 December 2016.</ref> It's registered address is [[4100 Macarthur Boulevard, Newport Beach]], the home of [[Gen Next]], a non-profit associated with the Makarachian family, whose real estate businesses are also located there.<ref>[http://www.loopnet.com/Property-Record/4100-Macarthur-Boulevard-Newport-Beach-CA-92660/ZqU9uS66Q/Tenant/?LID=18150220&LinkCode=21740&From=Profile&FromLocation=Profile&ng=y&ngu=%2fListing%2f18150220%2f4100-Macarthur-blvd-Newport-Beach-CA%2f 4100 Macarthur Boulevard, Newport Beach, CA 92660], LoopNet, accessed 8 December 2016.</ref>

Sweet, formerly a counter-terrorism official in the administration of [[George W. Bush]] was appointed as director and served for two years from 2011. Also in 2011, Sweet had set up a non-profit in Texas called '[[Ted Cruz]] for Senate', helping the Republican - who would latest be a contender for the GOP's presidential candidate - to gain election to senate in 2012. Sweet also directs 'Texans for Ted Cruz', and has personally donated to Cruz's attempt to run for president.<ref name="Ahmed1"/>

As Ahmed notes, 'Cruz represents the very far-right of the Republican spectrum and is close to the most bigoted elements of the Tea Party movement.' he has spoken alongside notorious anti-Muslim bigot [[Robert Spencer]] at an event organized by the [[Young America's Foundation]] which has also hosted [[David Horowitz]] and [[Ann Coulter]] and in 2011 merged with the group [[Young Americans for Freedom]] who had played host to Holocaust-denier [[Nick Griffin]] of the [[BNP]].<ref name="Ahmed1">Nafeez Ahmed, [http://www.alternet.org/world/how-violent-extremists-hijacked-london-based-counter-extremism-think-tank How violent Extremists Hijacked a London Based Counter-extremism think tank], Alternet, 28 April 2015</ref>

===US Funding===
In its first year of operations, Quilliam’s US branch received $265,000 in grants.<ref name="Quilliam9902011">Quilliam Foundation, Form 990, 2011.</ref> Of this sum, $250,000 was allocated to recipients in Europe, to help fight counter-extremism.<ref name="Quilliam9902011">Quilliam Foundation, Form 990, 2011.</ref> Filings state that this was sent to a UK charity, placing a question-mark over the assumption in some coverage that the money went directly to Quilliam in the UK, which does not appear to be registered as a charity.<ref name="Quilliam9902011">Quilliam Foundation, Form 990, 2011.</ref>

Quilliam's US revenue rose to $265,875 in 2012 and $282,994 in 2013, almost all of which was sent outside the US.<ref>Quilliam Foundation, Form 990s, 2012-13.</ref>

==Funding==
On the day of the launch in May 2008 the director Maajid Nawaz told Newsnight: "We have absolutely not received government money, despite being offered it by the [[Preventing Violent Extremism Pathfinder Fund]], and we have said that it is not appropriate for us at the moment - although I would emphasise that I don't have a problem in principle in receiving taxpayers' money for a good cause, as long as it comes with no strings attached."<ref>Susannah Tarbush, [http://english.daralhayat.com/opinion/commentators/05-2008/Article-20080526-23da75e6-c0a8-10ed-01e2-5c73f881a09b/story.html 'The Quilliam Foundation'], ''Al-Hayat'', 26 May 2008</ref>. However, according to The Times the government has underwritten the Foundation's operations to the tune of £1 million in taxpayer money, despite the reservations of government and opposition members. According to the story, the foundation is paying 'about £110,000 a year to rent offices at one of Central London’s most prestigious addresses, which, for security reasons, have no name plate or sign outside'. The foundation's co-directors are believed to be receiving annual salaries of £85,000 each. <ref>Richard Kerbaj, [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article5549138.ece Government gives £1m to anti-extremist think-tank Quilliam Foundation], '''The Times''', 20 January 2009</ref>.According to Ed Husain's evidence given to the Select Committee Hearing on [[Preventing Violent Extremism]], the Quilliam Foundation is in receipt of '''"about £850,000"''' of government funding, per annum. <ref>[http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200910/cmselect/cmcomloc/65/65.pdf Preventing Violent Extremism: Sixth Report of Session 2009-10], House of Commons Communities and Local Government Committee, March 2010, Ev 4 - accessed 25.04.10</ref>

Riccardo Boscherini:

{{Template:Revolving Door badge}} [[Image:Katie Perrior.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Katie Perrior]]
'''Katie Perrior''' is the former director of communications to UK prime minister [[Theresa May]], serving from July 2016 <ref name= "Guard"> Rajeev Syal, [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/21/theresa-mays-spin-doctor-quit-pr-roles-after-questions-over-conflict-of-interest Theresa May's spin doctor gets paperwork right after questions over conflict of interest], ''The Guardian'', 21 February 2017, accessed 2 March 2017. </ref> to April 2017 <ref> [http://www.prweek.com/article/1430771/katie-perrior-resigns-downing-street-comms-chief-pm-announces-snap-election Katie Perrior resigns Downing Street comms chief PM announces snap election], ''PR Week'', 18 April 2017, accessed 21 April 2017, </ref>. She previously worked as May's spokesman in her bid for the Conservative Party leadership.

==Background==
{{Template:Lobbying_Portal_badge}}
Perrior's company [[iNHouse PR]] ran Boris Johnson’s PR during his 2008 bid to become London mayor, and his successful 2012 re-election campaign. <ref> John Harrington, [http://www.prweek.com/article/1401144/former-boris-johnson-pr-chief-katie-perrior-joins-theresa-mays-leadership-team Former Boris Johnson PR chief Katie Perrior joins Theresa May's leadership team], ''PRWeek'', 5 July 2016, accessed 9 December 2016. </ref>

Perrior is also a former media director of the [[Stockholm Network]] think tank, which has strong links to the pharmaceutical industry<ref>Stockholm Network, [http://issuu.com/stockholmnetwork/docs/annual_report_0506 Annual Report 2005-06], ISSU, Accessed 20-April-2010</ref> and the PR companies [[iNHouse PR]], [[iNHouse Connex]] and [[Hersay]] Ltd. <ref>Katie Perrior, [http://www.inhouse-pr.co.uk/index.php/meet_the_directors/ Meet the Directors], iNHouse PR, Accessed 25-June-2010</ref> <ref>Katie Perrior, [http://www.prweek.com/uk/news/opinion/814709/Lobbyists-Boris-willingness-listen/ Lobbyists should make the most of Boris' willingness to listen], ''PR Week'', 5-June-2008, Accessed 25-June-2010</ref>

Before this role she worked as a media consultant on the game-show ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'', and for the Conservative Party Chairman and Conservative shadow home secretary during high profile campaigns.

She is the first non-journalist to become a prime minister's spin doctor in recent history. <ref> David Singleton, [https://www.totalpolitics.com/articles/news/pr-boss-katie-perrior-theresa-mays-top-spin-doctor PR boss Katie Perrior is Theresa May's top spin doctor], ''TotalPolitics'', 15 July 2016, accessed 9 December 2016. </ref>

==Conflict of interest==
In February 2017 Perrior formalised her resignation as director of three public relations companies, five months after she was appointed Number 10's chief spin doctor. This came just days after [[Labour]] raised questions of a potential conflict of interest.

Perrior had only notified Companies House in December 2016 that she had stepped down as a director of [[iNHouse PR]], [[iNHouse Connex]] and [[Hersay]] Ltd, all three of which she co-directed with former Conservative Party staffer [[Jo Tanner]]. She blamed her failure to register these resignations with parliament on an 'administrative oversight'.

Since joining Downing Street, Perrior has appeared at several of iNHouse Communications' official events, including a press event for lobby journalists held to promote a West End play organised by the PR agency. <ref name="Guard"/>

==Non-executive role on housing development==
In June 2015 as director of iNHouse Perrior was appointed by the secretary of state as a non-executive director of [[Ebbsfleet Development Corporation]], the largest development project in Britain. On her appointment Perrior said:

:I am delighted to take up this post and will work hard to deliver much needed homes and community facilities for the area. I will be putting my communications skills to best use so that we can truly involve the existing community into forming the plans for the future as well as attracting new families to what will be a great place to live and work. It is an exciting time to be part of this amazing project. <ref>[http://inhouse.london/secretary-of-state-appoints-inhouse-director-katie-perrior-as-a-non-executive-director-of-ebbsfleet-development-corporation/ iNHouse London, Perrior appointed to Ebbsfleet Development Corporation], ''iNHouse London'', 25 June 2015, accessed 4 February 2016</ref>

Riccardo Boscherini:

[[Image:Ameet Gill.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Ameet Gill via LinkedIn]]
'''Ameet Gill''' served as director of strategy to the former Prime Minister [[David Cameron]], for which she earned an annual salary of £80,000. <ref> [https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/388825/spad_data_november_2014.csv/preview Special advisers in post, 30 November 2014] ''GOV.UK'', accessed 28 April 2015.</ref>

==Career==
Gill was a long serving adviser to Cameron, having started working for him in 2006. Prior to joining Cameron's team, he worked as a researcher for the historian [[Niall Ferguson]], assisting him with some of his documentaries. <ref> Tim Walker [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8155084/David-Camerons-voice-Ameet-Gill-finally-speaks.html David Cameron's voice, Ameet Gill, finally speaks] ''The Telegraph'', 24 November 2010, accessed 9 October 2014 </ref>

In 2015, after the general election, Gill was promoted from head of strategic communications to [[Steve Hilton]]'s former role as director of strategy.<ref> Frances Perraudin [http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/may/21/sunday-times-camilla-cavendish-head-number-10-policy-unit-david-cameron Sunday Times columnist Camilla Cavendish to head No 10 policy unit] ''Guardian'' 21 May 2015, accessed 26 May 2015.</ref>

===Cameron's terrorism speech===
Ameet Gill was reportedly the main writer of the speech in which Cameron described the fight against terrorism as the 'struggle of our generation'. According to the reports, most of Cameron's speech was an expression of Gill's thoughts.
:'Extremists do not represent Islam. But, because the Islamists self-identify as Muslims, we need to challenge them. And that needs help from Muslim communities, and from Muslim scholars who can say they are wrong. [...] It is right to say these people have nothing to do with the true nature of Islam. But that, on its own, is not enough. We need to go further'. <ref> Sam Burne James, [http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/48240361.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst Ameet Gill is the Indian-origin man behind David Cameron's anti-extremism speech], ''Economic Times'', July 27, 2015. Accessed October 20 2016</ref>

==Revolving Door==
He resigned from his post in the summer of 2016.

In October 2016 he came under fire for launching a lobbying firm and accepting clients without getting clearance from [[ACOBA]], a government watchdog responsible for monitoring the business appointments of former civil servants. The consulting agency he launched is called [[Hanbury Strategy]] and has a focus on Brexit. The firm was launched with the Vote Leave PR lead, [[Paul Stephenson]]. <ref> [http://www.prweek.com/article/1408476/vote-leave-pr-lead-camerons-former-strategy-chief-join-forces-new-agency?utm_content=buffer597b8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Vote Leave PR lead and Cameron's former strategy chief join forces in new agency

The committee expressed its concern about his behaviour in a damning letter to civil service chief John Manzoni.
:I would like to register the Committee’s concern that Mr Gill’s consultancy and the fact that it had already secured clients was announced before the Committee had had the opportunity to offer its advice. [...] To fulfill the remit given to it by government the committee needs to be able to consider an application fully and freely before offering its advice. It is impossible to do this in a way that will command public confidence if an appointment has already been announced and taken up.'
[[ACOBA]] noted that Gill would have to gain approval for every new client the company wins over the next two years. <ref> [https://www.rt.com/uk/362637-cameron-aide-launch-lobby/ Ex-Cameron aide launches lobby group… without govt watchdog’s approval], ''RT News'', October 12 2016.

Center for Security Policy: Affiliations and Funding

2017-03-24T11:55:05Z

Riccardo Boscherini: /* Funding */

[[Image:Cfsp_.png‎ ||400px|thumb|right|Center for Security Policy logo circa 2015]]
See main article: [[Center for Security Policy]]

==Funders==

Due to the nature of the CSP and its position as a non-profit organisation funding is acquired through donations made by individuals and other organisations. Grants from various foundations which reveal its links to other right wing factions.

In the two decades from 1988 until 2008 the CSP received $6,237,624 in grants from different foundations ranging from $1,000 to $350,000. On some occasions the reason for giving the sum of money is not disclosed, suggesting a somewhat opaque tactic of funding. This is particularly true of the foundations which regularly donate to the CSP. <ref> Centre For Security Policy [http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientgrants.php?recipientID=489 Recipient Grants] accessed 20 March 2008 </ref>

The [[Carthage Foundation]], the [[Scaife Foundations|Sarah Scaife Foundation]] and the [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] Inc. have all made regular donations and state that they are funding general operations.

===The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation Inc===

The [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] describes the Foundation's founding as follows:
:The Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is likewise devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles, and values that sustain and nurture it. Its programs support limited, competent government; a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity; and a vigorous defense, at home and abroad, of American ideas and institutions.<ref>The Bradley Foundation [http://www.bradleyfdn.org/foundations_mission.asp The Bradley Foundation's Mission] accessed 21st March 2008 </ref>

This kind of stance is dangerous in the hands of a foundation with assets surpassing $700 million. Supporting the CSP is in their advantage as the groups both ascertain that capitalism without the glove would benefit America, or in other words the wealthy minority.<ref> Media Transparency [http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=1 The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation] accessed 21st March 2008</ref> So by providing grants to the CSP they obtain a powerful ally which has a high degree of influence over policy-making.

===The Sarah Scaife Foundation and the Carthage Foundation===

[[Richard Mellon Scaife]] has control over these two foundations which regularly donate to CSP. Scaife is well-known for his contributions to “conservative” causes. This may be due to the interest he has over policy regarding his main assets and interests. These are his family’s ownership over [[Gulf Oil Corporation]], ownership of Koppers and Carborundum corporations and participation in the uranium cartel. By 1999, the [[Washington Post]] reported that the [[Scaife Foundations]] had given $340 million to conservative causes and institutions.<ref> SourceWatch [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Scaife_Foundations Scaife Foundations] accessed 22nd March 2008</ref>

===AIPAC===
In 2015, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group [[AIPAC]] contributed $60,000 dollars to the CSP as part of a campaign against the nuclear deal with Iran. In the same year, AIPAC set up the [[Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran]], an organisation that invested close to $20 million in ads, publications and other initiatives meant to influence U.S. public opinion against the deal with Iran brokered by the Obama administration. An official stated that the $60,000 donated to the CSP formed a small part of this budget, and was spent on public advertisements. <ref> Amir Tibon, [http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-1.777541 AIPAC Gave $60K to Group That Inspired Trump's Muslim Ban], ''Haaretz'', 16 Match 2017, accessed 24 March 2017. </ref>

==Affiliations==
===JINSA===

The [[Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs]] is closely tied to the Center for Security Policy. These two institutions have been likened to the [[Committee on the Present Danger]] and their influence in the Carter Administration. A number of the members of both organisations have filtered into governmental positions through the Clinton Administration and maintained the neo-conservative agenda through active pursuit of goals such as support for national missile defense, opposition to arms control treaties, backing of wasteful weapons systems, arms aid to Turkey and American unilateralism. However, central to all these is the current Israeli situation.

[[Richard Perle]] and [[John Bolton]] are both highly influential members of JINSA and CSP. Perle is a Consultant to the Secretary of Defense and several US multinational companies and Bolton served as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations from August 1, 2005 to December 9, 2006. The mission statement of the organisation states:

:JINSA works to strengthen support for the U.S. military and its ability to meet future challenges and crises. Changes in American military deployments since the end of the Cold War, new deployments in the war against terrorists and the states that harbor and support them, and changes in funding and technology for our forces, require an informed and supportive public. JINSA works to educate its 20,000 members, leading policy makers and the public at large about key policy initiatives and requirements.<ref> Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs [http://www.jinsa.org/about/agenda/agenda.html JINSA's Major Agenda Items] accessed 21st March 2008</ref>

War is the agenda that is pursued by JINSA and its members. [[Michael Ledeen]], a highly influential figure in the organisation, stated that "regime change by any means necessary in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority is an urgent imperative. Anyone who dissents -- be it Colin Powell's State Department, the CIA or career military officers -- is committing heresy against articles of faith that effectively hold there is no difference between US and Israeli national security interests, and that the only way to assure continued safety and prosperity for both countries is through hegemony in the Middle East--a hegemony achieved with the traditional cold war recipe of feints, force, clientism and covert action.<ref>The Nation [http://www.thenation.com/doc/20020902/vest "The Men form JINSA and CSP," 15th August, 2002]accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

JINSA's pursuit of American/Israeli interests in the Middle-East will potentially result in what Michael Ledeen calls "total war".

===Project for a New American Century===

:"We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities." <ref> Project For A New American Century [http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm Statement of Principles, 3rd June, 1997] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

The close-ties between the CSP and [[Project for a New American Century]] are by far the most prominent. Top officials and influential figures are members or maintain close links with both organisations. These include Frank Gaffney, the founder of CSP, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney amd Donald Rumsfeld.

Once again it is clear that an aggressive pro-military action is clearly on the agenda of these closely-tied organisations. Reference to the Reagan administration in the statement of principles portrays a lust to return to the older ruthless regime. Combined with the continued presence of individuals such as [[Donald Rumsfeld]] and [[Dick Cheney]] in current government activities, it is clear that the right-wing influence was embedded deep into the Bush II administration.

===Weapons manufacturers===

Due to the CSP's stance on aggressive military improvement, weapons contractors are keen to support the influential group in lobbying for further advancements to be given the green light, in particular the Star Wars operations.

The biggest beneficiary think tank of Ballistic Missile Defense is Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, which has received over $2 million in corporate donations since its founding in 1988, mostly from major Star Wars contractors like [[Lockheed Martin]] and [[Boeing]].<ref>elitewatch911 [http://elitewatch.911review.org/CSP.html Center for Security Policy] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

These corporate donations are then spent on lobbying for higher military spending, enabling weapons manufacturers to profit from government budgets.

Center for Security Policy: Affiliations and Funding

2017-03-24T11:54:27Z

Riccardo Boscherini: /* AIPAC */

[[Image:Cfsp_.png‎ ||400px|thumb|right|Center for Security Policy logo circa 2015]]
See main article: [[Center for Security Policy]]

==Funders==

Due to the nature of the CSP and its position as a non-profit organisation funding is acquired through donations made by individuals and other organisations. Grants from various foundations which reveal its links to other right wing factions.

In the two decades from 1988 until 2008 the CSP received $6,237,624 in grants from different foundations ranging from $1,000 to $350,000. On some occasions the reason for giving the sum of money is not disclosed, suggesting a somewhat opaque tactic of funding. This is particularly true of the foundations which regularly donate to the CSP. <ref> Centre For Security Policy [http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientgrants.php?recipientID=489 Recipient Grants] accessed 20 March 2008 </ref>

The [[Carthage Foundation]], the [[Scaife Foundations|Sarah Scaife Foundation]] and the [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] Inc. have all made regular donations and state that they are funding general operations.

===The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation Inc===

The [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] describes the Foundation's founding as follows:
:The Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is likewise devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles, and values that sustain and nurture it. Its programs support limited, competent government; a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity; and a vigorous defense, at home and abroad, of American ideas and institutions.<ref>The Bradley Foundation [http://www.bradleyfdn.org/foundations_mission.asp The Bradley Foundation's Mission] accessed 21st March 2008 </ref>

This kind of stance is dangerous in the hands of a foundation with assets surpassing $700 million. Supporting the CSP is in their advantage as the groups both ascertain that capitalism without the glove would benefit America, or in other words the wealthy minority.<ref> Media Transparency [http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=1 The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation] accessed 21st March 2008</ref> So by providing grants to the CSP they obtain a powerful ally which has a high degree of influence over policy-making.

===The Sarah Scaife Foundation and the Carthage Foundation===

[[Richard Mellon Scaife]] has control over these two foundations which regularly donate to CSP. Scaife is well-known for his contributions to “conservative” causes. This may be due to the interest he has over policy regarding his main assets and interests. These are his family’s ownership over [[Gulf Oil Corporation]], ownership of Koppers and Carborundum corporations and participation in the uranium cartel. By 1999, the [[Washington Post]] reported that the [[Scaife Foundations]] had given $340 million to conservative causes and institutions.<ref> SourceWatch [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Scaife_Foundations Scaife Foundations] accessed 22nd March 2008</ref>

===AIPAC===
In 2015, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group [[AIPAC]] contributed $60,000 dollars to the CSP as part of a campaign against the nuclear deal with Iran. In the same year, AIPAC set up the [[Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran]], an organisation that invested close to $20 million in ads, publications and other initiatives meant to influence U.S. public opinion against the deal with Iran brokered by the Obama administration. An official stated that the $60,000 donated to the CSP formed a small part of this budget, and was spent on public advertisements. <ref> Amir Tibon, [http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-1.777541 AIPAC Gave $60K to Group That Inspired Trump's Muslim Ban], ''Haaretz'', 16 Match 2017, accessed 24 March 2017. </ref>

:"We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities." <ref> Project For A New American Century [http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm Statement of Principles, 3rd June, 1997] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

The close-ties between the CSP and [[Project for a New American Century]] are by far the most prominent. Top officials and influential figures are members or maintain close links with both organisations. These include Frank Gaffney, the founder of CSP, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney amd Donald Rumsfeld.

Once again it is clear that an aggressive pro-military action is clearly on the agenda of these closely-tied organisations. Reference to the Reagan administration in the statement of principles portrays a lust to return to the older ruthless regime. Combined with the continued presence of individuals such as [[Donald Rumsfeld]] and [[Dick Cheney]] in current government activities, it is clear that the right-wing influence was embedded deep into the Bush II administration.

===Weapons manufacturers===

Due to the CSP's stance on aggressive military improvement, weapons contractors are keen to support the influential group in lobbying for further advancements to be given the green light, in particular the Star Wars operations.

The biggest beneficiary think tank of Ballistic Missile Defense is Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, which has received over $2 million in corporate donations since its founding in 1988, mostly from major Star Wars contractors like [[Lockheed Martin]] and [[Boeing]].<ref>elitewatch911 [http://elitewatch.911review.org/CSP.html Center for Security Policy] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

These corporate donations are then spent on lobbying for higher military spending, enabling weapons manufacturers to profit from government budgets.

==Funders==

Due to the nature of the CSP and its position as a non-profit organisation funding is acquired through donations made by individuals and other organisations. Grants from various foundations which reveal its links to other right wing factions.

In the two decades from 1988 until 2008 the CSP received $6,237,624 in grants from different foundations ranging from $1,000 to $350,000. On some occasions the reason for giving the sum of money is not disclosed, suggesting a somewhat opaque tactic of funding. This is particularly true of the foundations which regularly donate to the CSP. <ref> Centre For Security Policy [http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientgrants.php?recipientID=489 Recipient Grants] accessed 20 March 2008 </ref>

The [[Carthage Foundation]], the [[Scaife Foundations|Sarah Scaife Foundation]] and the [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] Inc. have all made regular donations and state that they are funding general operations.

===The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation Inc===

The [[Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation]] describes the Foundation's founding as follows:
:The Bradley brothers were committed to preserving and defending the tradition of free representative government and private enterprise that has enabled the American nation and, in a larger sense, the entire Western world to flourish intellectually and economically. The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation is likewise devoted to strengthening American democratic capitalism and the institutions, principles, and values that sustain and nurture it. Its programs support limited, competent government; a dynamic marketplace for economic, intellectual, and cultural activity; and a vigorous defense, at home and abroad, of American ideas and institutions.<ref>The Bradley Foundation [http://www.bradleyfdn.org/foundations_mission.asp The Bradley Foundation's Mission] accessed 21st March 2008 </ref>

This kind of stance is dangerous in the hands of a foundation with assets surpassing $700 million. Supporting the CSP is in their advantage as the groups both ascertain that capitalism without the glove would benefit America, or in other words the wealthy minority.<ref> Media Transparency [http://www.mediatransparency.org/funderprofile.php?funderID=1 The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation] accessed 21st March 2008</ref> So by providing grants to the CSP they obtain a powerful ally which has a high degree of influence over policy-making.

===The Sarah Scaife Foundation and the Carthage Foundation===

[[Richard Mellon Scaife]] has control over these two foundations which regularly donate to CSP. Scaife is well-known for his contributions to “conservative” causes. This may be due to the interest he has over policy regarding his main assets and interests. These are his family’s ownership over [[Gulf Oil Corporation]], ownership of Koppers and Carborundum corporations and participation in the uranium cartel. By 1999, the [[Washington Post]] reported that the [[Scaife Foundations]] had given $340 million to conservative causes and institutions.<ref> SourceWatch [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Scaife_Foundations Scaife Foundations] accessed 22nd March 2008</ref>

==AIPAC==
In 2015, the powerful pro-Israel lobby group [[AIPAC]] contributed $60,000 dollars to the CSP as part of a campaign against the nuclear deal with Iran. In the same year, AIPAC set up the [[Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran]], an organisation that invested close to $20 million in ads, publications and other initiatives meant to influence U.S. public opinion against the deal with Iran brokered by the Obama administration. An official stated that the $60,000 donated to the CSP formed a small part of this budget, and was spent on public advertisements. <ref> Amir Tibon, [http://www.haaretz.com/us-news/.premium-1.777541 AIPAC Gave $60K to Group That Inspired Trump's Muslim Ban], ''Haaretz'', 16 Match 2017, accessed 24 March 2017. </ref>

==Affiliations==
===JINSA===

The [[Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs]] is closely tied to the Center for Security Policy. These two institutions have been likened to the [[Committee on the Present Danger]] and their influence in the Carter Administration. A number of the members of both organisations have filtered into governmental positions through the Clinton Administration and maintained the neo-conservative agenda through active pursuit of goals such as support for national missile defense, opposition to arms control treaties, backing of wasteful weapons systems, arms aid to Turkey and American unilateralism. However, central to all these is the current Israeli situation.

[[Richard Perle]] and [[John Bolton]] are both highly influential members of JINSA and CSP. Perle is a Consultant to the Secretary of Defense and several US multinational companies and Bolton served as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations from August 1, 2005 to December 9, 2006. The mission statement of the organisation states:

:JINSA works to strengthen support for the U.S. military and its ability to meet future challenges and crises. Changes in American military deployments since the end of the Cold War, new deployments in the war against terrorists and the states that harbor and support them, and changes in funding and technology for our forces, require an informed and supportive public. JINSA works to educate its 20,000 members, leading policy makers and the public at large about key policy initiatives and requirements.<ref> Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs [http://www.jinsa.org/about/agenda/agenda.html JINSA's Major Agenda Items] accessed 21st March 2008</ref>

War is the agenda that is pursued by JINSA and its members. [[Michael Ledeen]], a highly influential figure in the organisation, stated that "regime change by any means necessary in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority is an urgent imperative. Anyone who dissents -- be it Colin Powell's State Department, the CIA or career military officers -- is committing heresy against articles of faith that effectively hold there is no difference between US and Israeli national security interests, and that the only way to assure continued safety and prosperity for both countries is through hegemony in the Middle East--a hegemony achieved with the traditional cold war recipe of feints, force, clientism and covert action.<ref>The Nation [http://www.thenation.com/doc/20020902/vest "The Men form JINSA and CSP," 15th August, 2002]accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

JINSA's pursuit of American/Israeli interests in the Middle-East will potentially result in what Michael Ledeen calls "total war".

===Project for a New American Century===

:"We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities." <ref> Project For A New American Century [http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm Statement of Principles, 3rd June, 1997] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

The close-ties between the CSP and [[Project for a New American Century]] are by far the most prominent. Top officials and influential figures are members or maintain close links with both organisations. These include Frank Gaffney, the founder of CSP, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney amd Donald Rumsfeld.

Once again it is clear that an aggressive pro-military action is clearly on the agenda of these closely-tied organisations. Reference to the Reagan administration in the statement of principles portrays a lust to return to the older ruthless regime. Combined with the continued presence of individuals such as [[Donald Rumsfeld]] and [[Dick Cheney]] in current government activities, it is clear that the right-wing influence was embedded deep into the Bush II administration.

===Weapons manufacturers===

Due to the CSP's stance on aggressive military improvement, weapons contractors are keen to support the influential group in lobbying for further advancements to be given the green light, in particular the Star Wars operations.

The biggest beneficiary think tank of Ballistic Missile Defense is Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, which has received over $2 million in corporate donations since its founding in 1988, mostly from major Star Wars contractors like [[Lockheed Martin]] and [[Boeing]].<ref>elitewatch911 [http://elitewatch.911review.org/CSP.html Center for Security Policy] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

These corporate donations are then spent on lobbying for higher military spending, enabling weapons manufacturers to profit from government budgets.

==Affiliations==
===JINSA===

The [[Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs]] is closely tied to the Center for Security Policy. These two institutions have been likened to the [[Committee on the Present Danger]] and their influence in the Carter Administration. A number of the members of both organisations have filtered into governmental positions through the Clinton Administration and maintained the neo-conservative agenda through active pursuit of goals such as support for national missile defense, opposition to arms control treaties, backing of wasteful weapons systems, arms aid to Turkey and American unilateralism. However, central to all these is the current Israeli situation.

[[Richard Perle]] and [[John Bolton]] are both highly influential members of JINSA and CSP. Perle is a Consultant to the Secretary of Defense and several US multinational companies and Bolton served as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations from August 1, 2005 to December 9, 2006. The mission statement of the organisation states:

:JINSA works to strengthen support for the U.S. military and its ability to meet future challenges and crises. Changes in American military deployments since the end of the Cold War, new deployments in the war against terrorists and the states that harbor and support them, and changes in funding and technology for our forces, require an informed and supportive public. JINSA works to educate its 20,000 members, leading policy makers and the public at large about key policy initiatives and requirements.<ref> Jewish Institute For National Security Affairs [http://www.jinsa.org/about/agenda/agenda.html JINSA's Major Agenda Items] accessed 21st March 2008</ref>

War is the agenda that is pursued by JINSA and its members. [[Michael Ledeen]], a highly influential figure in the organisation, stated that "regime change by any means necessary in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority is an urgent imperative. Anyone who dissents -- be it Colin Powell's State Department, the CIA or career military officers -- is committing heresy against articles of faith that effectively hold there is no difference between US and Israeli national security interests, and that the only way to assure continued safety and prosperity for both countries is through hegemony in the Middle East--a hegemony achieved with the traditional cold war recipe of feints, force, clientism and covert action.<ref>The Nation [http://www.thenation.com/doc/20020902/vest "The Men form JINSA and CSP," 15th August, 2002]accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

JINSA's pursuit of American/Israeli interests in the Middle-East will potentially result in what Michael Ledeen calls "total war".

===Project for a New American Century===

:"We seem to have forgotten the essential elements of the Reagan Administration's success: a military that is strong and ready to meet both present and future challenges; a foreign policy that boldly and purposefully promotes American principles abroad; and national leadership that accepts the United States' global responsibilities." <ref> Project For A New American Century [http://www.newamericancentury.org/statementofprinciples.htm Statement of Principles, 3rd June, 1997] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

The close-ties between the CSP and [[Project for a New American Century]] are by far the most prominent. Top officials and influential figures are members or maintain close links with both organisations. These include Frank Gaffney, the founder of CSP, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney amd Donald Rumsfeld.

Once again it is clear that an aggressive pro-military action is clearly on the agenda of these closely-tied organisations. Reference to the Reagan administration in the statement of principles portrays a lust to return to the older ruthless regime. Combined with the continued presence of individuals such as [[Donald Rumsfeld]] and [[Dick Cheney]] in current government activities, it is clear that the right-wing influence was embedded deep into the Bush II administration.

===Weapons manufacturers===

Due to the CSP's stance on aggressive military improvement, weapons contractors are keen to support the influential group in lobbying for further advancements to be given the green light, in particular the Star Wars operations.

The biggest beneficiary think tank of Ballistic Missile Defense is Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy, which has received over $2 million in corporate donations since its founding in 1988, mostly from major Star Wars contractors like [[Lockheed Martin]] and [[Boeing]].<ref>elitewatch911 [http://elitewatch.911review.org/CSP.html Center for Security Policy] accessed 24th March 2008</ref>

These corporate donations are then spent on lobbying for higher military spending, enabling weapons manufacturers to profit from government budgets.

[[Image:Nigel_Farage.jpg|right|thumb|Nigel Farage, MEP]]
[[Nigel Farage]] (born 03 April 1964, Farnborough) is a British politician who was the leader of the [[UK Independence Party]] from 1999-2009, then 2010-July 2016. He was a founder of is an MEP for UKIP since 20.07.1999 (re-elected).<ref>European Parliament, [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/members/archive/alphaOrder/view.do?language=EN&id=4525 MEP Directory: Nigel Farage], accessed 06 November 2010.</ref>

==Education==
Born in London, Farage was educated at Dulwich College, London.<ref>{{cite web

|work=The Guardian
|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jun/05/nigel-farage-ukip-interview}}</ref>

==Resignations==
===May 2015 elections===
Farage resigned as leader of UKIP having failed to gain the seat of Thanet South during the 2015 general elections. Speaking about his defeat, he insisted he had 'never felt happier', with a 'weight lifted off his shoulders'. <ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32633719 Nigel Farage resigns as UKIP leader as the party vote rises], ''BBC News'', 8 May 2015. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

He re-joined the leadership seat after 4 days, as the party had found 'overwhelmingly evidence' that [[UKIP]] members did not want Farage to go. <ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32696505 Farage stays as UKIP leader after resignation rejected], ''BBC News'', 11 May 2015. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

In March 2017, the pressure group [[Hope Not Hate]] called on Kent Police to investigate claims that Farage exceeded his spending limits during the 2015 general election campaign. <ref> Jordan Bhatt, [http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/kent-police-urged-investigate-nigel-farage-expenses-2015-election-south-thanet-1612008 Kent Police urged to investigate Nigel Farage expenses from 2015 election in South Thanet], ''IBT'', 16 March 2017, accessed 22 March 2017. </ref> The group allege that Farage's campaign failed to appropriately declare at least £26,302 in its electoral returns, and possibly well over £35,000, spent on campaign staff, billboards and mobile ad-vans. Farage strongly rejected the claims. <ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39055343 Calls to investigate South Thanet UKIP election costs], ''BBC News'', 22 February 2017, accessed 22 March 2017. </ref>

===Brexit referendum 2016===
After the victory for the 'Leave' camp, Nigel Farage resigned as leader once more, saying he had fulfilled his political ambitions and that it was time for him to take a rest. Speaking at a press conference in Westminster, he said: 'During the referendum I said I wanted my country back … now I want my life back.' <ref> Rowena Mason, Robert Booth and Amelia Gentleman, [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/04/nigel-farage-resigns-as-ukip-leader Nigel Farage resigns as Ukip leader after 'achieving political ambition' of Brexit], ''The Guardian'', 04 July 2016. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

However, Farage also decided to stay on as leader of the party’s group in the European parliament, creating a separate power base in Brussels and wielding some influence over funding. <ref> [http://www.independent.mk/articles/36576/UK+Diane+James+Elected+First+Female+Leader+of+Ukip UK: Diane James Elected First Female Leader of Ukip], ''Independent'', September 16, 2016. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

==Comments after Paris attacks==
Following the January 2015 attacks in Paris including the murder of 12 people at the offices of magazine [[Charlie Hebdo]], Farage commented:

::We do have, I'm afraid, I'm sad to say, a fifth column that is living within our own countries, that is utterly opposed to our values.
::We're going to have to be a lot braver and a lot more courageous in standing up for our Judeo-Christian culture.

Farage's comments, which seemed to imply generalised Muslim responsibility and to paint Muslims as external to European society and cultural heritage, were criticised by other politicians. Liberal Democrat [[Tim Farron]] said 'Nigel Farage's politics of blame has no place in modern, diverse and tolerant Britain'.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30776186 UKIP's Nigel Farage urges 'Judeo-Christian' defence after Paris attacks], BBC News, accessed 12 February 2015</ref>

===Record of Parliamentary Votes===
*Abstained from voting the directive on "establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy" (A5-0027/2000). The directive covers all water management aspects in order to achieve a 'good status' of all waters by 2015.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#water EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Abstained from voting the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000). The amendment allows setting less ambitious national emission ceilings for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), which would result in more damage to human health and the environment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#air EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (A5-0100/2002). The amendment sets higher reuse and recycling rates for IT and telecommunication equipment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#recycling EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Abstained from voting the report on "Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network" (A5-0135/2002). The Trans-European Network of Transport (TEN-T) is a network of so-called 'transport corridors' through Europe. This amendment calls for a full Strategic Environmental Assessment of these transport corridors and calls on the Commission to improve methods for analysing the environmental and economic impact of the TEN-T.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#transport EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the regulation concerning "traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms" (A5-0229/2002). The amendment allows customers the right to choose GM free food.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#gmos EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage" (A5-0145/2003). According to the amendment, polluters have to pay for environmental clean-up, and it supports an EU-wide regime which makes polluters liable for the damage they cause to wildlife, water and land.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#liability EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#tax EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.

==Resignations==
===May 2015 elections===
Farage resigned as leader of UKIP having failed to gain the seat of Thanet South during the 2015 general elections. Speaking about his defeat, he insisted he had 'never felt happier', with a 'weight lifted off his shoulders'. <ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32633719 Nigel Farage resigns as UKIP leader as the party vote rises], ''BBC News'', 8 May 2015. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

He re-joined the leadership seat after 4 days, as the party had found 'overwhelmingly evidence' that [[UKIP]] members did not want Farage to go. <ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-32696505 Farage stays as UKIP leader after resignation rejected], ''BBC News'', 11 May 2015. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

In March 2017, the pressure group [[Hope Not Hate]] called on Kent Police to investigate claims that Farage exceeded his spending limits during the 2015 general election campaign. <ref> Jordan Bhatt, [http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/kent-police-urged-investigate-nigel-farage-expenses-2015-election-south-thanet-1612008 Kent Police urged to investigate Nigel Farage expenses from 2015 election in South Thanet], ''IBT'', 16 March 2017, accessed 22 March 2017. </ref>

The group allege that Farage's campaign failed to appropriately declare at least £26,302 in its electoral returns, and possibly well over £35,000, spent on campaign staff, billboards and mobile ad-vans.

===Brexit referendum 2016===
After the victory for the 'Leave' camp, Nigel Farage resigned as leader once more, saying he had fulfilled his political ambitions and that it was time for him to take a rest. Speaking at a press conference in Westminster, he said: 'During the referendum I said I wanted my country back … now I want my life back.' <ref> Rowena Mason, Robert Booth and Amelia Gentleman, [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/04/nigel-farage-resigns-as-ukip-leader Nigel Farage resigns as Ukip leader after 'achieving political ambition' of Brexit], ''The Guardian'', 04 July 2016. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

However, Farage also decided to stay on as leader of the party’s group in the European parliament, creating a separate power base in Brussels and wielding some influence over funding. <ref> [http://www.independent.mk/articles/36576/UK+Diane+James+Elected+First+Female+Leader+of+Ukip UK: Diane James Elected First Female Leader of Ukip], ''Independent'', September 16, 2016. Accessed 06 October 2016. </ref>

==Comments after Paris attacks==
Following the January 2015 attacks in Paris including the murder of 12 people at the offices of magazine [[Charlie Hebdo]], Farage commented:

::We do have, I'm afraid, I'm sad to say, a fifth column that is living within our own countries, that is utterly opposed to our values.
::We're going to have to be a lot braver and a lot more courageous in standing up for our Judeo-Christian culture.

Farage's comments, which seemed to imply generalised Muslim responsibility and to paint Muslims as external to European society and cultural heritage, were criticised by other politicians. Liberal Democrat [[Tim Farron]] said 'Nigel Farage's politics of blame has no place in modern, diverse and tolerant Britain'.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30776186 UKIP's Nigel Farage urges 'Judeo-Christian' defence after Paris attacks], BBC News, accessed 12 February 2015</ref>

===Record of Parliamentary Votes===
*Abstained from voting the directive on "establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy" (A5-0027/2000). The directive covers all water management aspects in order to achieve a 'good status' of all waters by 2015.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#water EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Abstained from voting the directive on "national emission ceilings for certain atmospheric pollutants" (A5-0063/2000). The amendment allows setting less ambitious national emission ceilings for sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ammonia (NH3) and volatile organic compounds (VOC), which would result in more damage to human health and the environment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#air EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "waste electrical and electronic equipment" (A5-0100/2002). The amendment sets higher reuse and recycling rates for IT and telecommunication equipment.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#recycling EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
*Abstained from voting the report on "Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network" (A5-0135/2002). The Trans-European Network of Transport (TEN-T) is a network of so-called 'transport corridors' through Europe. This amendment calls for a full Strategic Environmental Assessment of these transport corridors and calls on the Commission to improve methods for analysing the environmental and economic impact of the TEN-T.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#transport EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the regulation concerning "traceability and labelling of genetically modified organisms and traceability of food and feed products produced from genetically modified organisms" (A5-0229/2002). The amendment allows customers the right to choose GM free food.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#gmos EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on "environmental liability with regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage" (A5-0145/2003). According to the amendment, polluters have to pay for environmental clean-up, and it supports an EU-wide regime which makes polluters liable for the damage they cause to wildlife, water and land.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#liability EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref>
*Voted against the directive on restructuring the "Community framework for the taxation of energy products and electricity" (A5-0302/2003). The amendment aims at giving tax benefits to environmentally friendly sources of energy, which would make them cheaper and more competitive to conventional (more polluting) sources of energy. It also gives tax benefits to environmentally friendly uses of energy for transport, for instance trains.<ref>Friends of the Earth, [http://www.foeeurope.org/euvotewatch/support_docs/learnmore.php#tax EU Vote Watch], accessed 02 February 2009.</ref> Rejected due to lack of absolute majority.
