Civitas

Supposedly independent of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), but the presence of an advisory board of IEA stalwarts such as Sir Peter Walters, Lord Ralph Harris of High Cross (Bruges group with Norris McWhirter etc.), Patrick Barbour and Kenneth Minogue contradicts this supposition. Director (and ex-Labour councillor) David Green has been IEA since 1984. It focuses on race, health and welfare reform promoting Charles Murray and the 'underclass'.
