FCDO Hands Feminist Group More Than £20 Million to “Abolish Hetero-Patriarchal Capitalist World Order”

Guido Fawkes has revealed that the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office has splurged over £20 million of taxpayer cash to a feminist group bent on dismantling the “hetero-patriarchal capitalist world order”. Here’s an excerpt.

Guido’s FoI unit has established that since January 2023 the FCDO has handed £20,788,284 to the Equality Fund, an organisation which says it is “ushering in an era of abundance for women, girls and trans people leading the charge on solutions to our most urgent social and political challenges”. The fund supports “human rights and women’s rights movements via our grantmaking across the Global South” – handing out UK taxpayer cash. The Tories initially committed the funding – Labour has continued it to the tune of £9,123,952 since it came to power…

The organisation, which features UK development fund branding on its website, says it “can disrupt the colonial and patriarchal practices” and “centre the voices of those living at the edges of change, shifting power and disrupting colonial North–South patterns.” It deploys grants and makes investments. On the latter point the Fund boasts that “our private market investments help to maximise our goals of shifting power by investing in women-led and women-focused funds, products, businesses and services (inclusive of girl-led and trans-led actors)”.

“Colonial” here is code for white. And the “hetero-patriarchal capitalist world order” doesn’t exist. So, our government of globalist occupation has spent £20 million of our money on anti-whitism, and on trying to abolish something that doesn’t exist. Brilliant!

Would it surprise you to know that ‘black fatigue’ is experienced by a lot of the black community, who are calling out fellow blacks for their undesirable ( often atrocious ) behaviour and obsession with harbouring a grievance mentality, where they are forever the oppressed and whites forever the oppressors? It’s like these blacks view whites in the same way Muslims ( specifically ‘Palestinians’ ) view Jews. It’s important to remember that black Conservatives do exist and plenty of them voted for Trump in the US, and there’s many of these clips floating about where they tackle black liberals and their perma-victimhood attitude and re-writing of history.
You just hear him in this clip mention black fatherless families, and it’s a shame the stupid woman talks over him because I think this is a particularly significant issue within the black community, both in the US and UK, worthy of its own debate;

“Our ancestors wasn’t asking for handouts. They were asking for equal opportunity. And we have equal opportunity in this country.”

Otherwise known as piising our money away and most probably a degree of money laundering.

The fact that they’re straight off the bat lumping women’s rights ( WTF is ”an era of abundance”? ) in with trans rights just screams ”Lefty, progressive bollocks” to me. What a crock. The trans ideology immediately cancels out women’s sex-based rights. You cannot be supportive of both and expect to come off as rational and credible. I agree with these two gents;

”One day, I hope I will come to understand why so many progressive people decided to embrace trans ideology, which, without doubt, is **most** regressive and transparently misogynistic–on a moral and intellectual level with campaigns against witchcraft. I really don’t get it.”Prof. Gary Francione

”Top comedy writer, Graham Linehan
speaking on the trans ideolgy, how men are trying to steal women’s rights and how it is just a cult that has been pushed on kids via the Internet.”

To abolish the patriarchal world order: so that’s the end of Islam, the world’s most patriarchal structure. I hope the Foreign Office is prepared for some fierce opposition from the Imams.

Proof, if it were ever needed, that the political class in the UK has taken leave of it’s senses.
In many ways this is good news and will hasten their demise at the next general election, hopefully we will last that long but I’m not too optimistic on that front!

There is little cause for optimism of any sort these days.

A moratorium of at least a year of the Government funding various groups would allow a sanity check. No doubt there would be squeals of protest from the grifters who were defunded but who can defend luxury spending when there is a tens of $billions black hole?

Off-Topic

An interesting article by Hart on the state sanctioned killing of care home residents during lockdown.

Details from the evidence submitted to module 6 of the COVID inquiry confirm what we knew back in those dark days. Matt Hancock has blood on his hands. May he rot in hell.

Listening to the whole session, it’s not as cut and dried and ‘smoking gun’ as I said above, although some of the testimonies revealed an awful lack of humanity.

The ‘guidelines’ (those ever shifting diktats issued from above, not law but spoken of as ‘the only right thing to do’) were interpreted somewhat by each of the players. The paramedics declined to refer any ill people with a DNR, even if their problem didn’t relate to the coof (e.g. diabetes, physical injury), because they knew the hospitals wouldn’t take them.

GPs not even remotely connected with the patient, prescribed the ‘end of life pack’ when help was being sought for something non-coof, just because the person had a recent positive test.

I would have absolutely hated being in a home during that dark time. This society really let down the elderly, letting them die alone, denied family contact in their dying moments because of infection concerns.

They may be making ‘private market investments‘, but as it’s public, ie our money, full disclosure of those investments must be demanded and made. My betting is they are not ‘investments’ but bungs to ‘favoured partys’.

Let’s hope we get a Reform Government in 2029 (or sooner) which will stop our money being squandered on this kind of nonsense.

It’s not surprising men have”given up”. They want no part of this neurodiversity as most of its proponents couldn’t explain the issues and it’s implementation parallels the decline in society.
