What pressure group is this?

Action on World Health. See post viewtopic.php?p=113060#p113060

The pressure group’s website is now appealing for donations by payment card or US bank account and has a website form for people from around the world to email their politicians to speak out against the WHO, although it does not include an option for people from the UK to email their politicians.

The WHO provides much life saving information, training and resources globally.
The US government has already pulled its support.
If they're sending agents to make extraterritorial attacks (classic USA spook tactics), extra millions will die.

This could be worse than the closure of USaid.

So what is behind this? What is their stated objection to the WHO, and what is their actual, underlying, objection?

In a nutshell, it seems to be about funding and, guess what? Immigration.

I think the banner image says a lot...

Seems pretty standard:

1) Take an existing supranational body and complain it is not representative. See also: the EU. This is the only part of the proposition that will have some merit.
2) Throw in a desire to remove all shackles on thrusting independent nations of thrusting independent men of thrusting independent colour
3) Pretend climate change and pandemics aren't really international issues
4) ????
5) Profit!

So it's just another manifestation of the far right's obsessions: victimhood, hate and greed.

Some people believe that Farage has overplayed his hand in UK politics: questions about donations, houses and the somewhat forgotten issue of phone hacking, coupled with his complete absence from the constituency he is supposed to represent have had people speculating his time as an MP may be over.

Is it likely then that with this new grift - now US-based, where it'd get more traction (and funding) that Farage could be thinking of migrating to the US, or would leaving Blighty be a step too far for him?

For a frog-faced cunt who only cares about the frog-faced cunt, how many shits do you think he actually gives about this green and pleasant land?

[Boiler]

It'd certainly be more pleasant if he fucked off out of it, but he's very much a 'patriot'.

Classic Tufton Street Astroturf.

This organisation likely runs on a couple of interns and a huge pile of Crypto.
But when enough questions are asked, somebody Nicky Campbell / Laura Kuenssberg will start parroting.

And when the one hour BBC2 "Do we really need the WHO" exposee runs, Nigel will be there, grinning like a Cheshire frog and riling up your grannies.

That money wasted on suppressing Ebola could have provided a copper on a bike in your village

If only those Volvo mechanics had known what they were doing...

...or the pilot wasn't as good as he was.

So it's a way for grifters to milk corporate donations? What's in it for the donors?
