Conservative movement connections

Like many associated with the LM network Bristow has worked closely with elements of the Conservative movement. for example, with Frank Furedi she wrote a pamphlet for the conservative think tank Civitas. This project was funded by the conservative Nigel Vinson Charitable Trust, and organisation set up in 1973 by Nigel Vinson the former council member of Aims of Industry and co-founder of the Thatcherite Centre for Policy Studies. The trust mostly funds conservative think tanks such as Institute of Economic Affairs, the Institute for Policy Research and Civitas, which in 2009 were the recipients of the three biggest grants. Other organisations to which it gave grants of over £1,000 in 2008 and/or 2009 include: Hampden Trust, Politics and Economics Research Trust (mainly funds the Taxpayers' Alliance), International Policy Network, Foundation for Social and Economic Thinking (charitable arm of Politeia).
