Two-Thirds of Conservative Endowment Fund Directors Are Linked to Fossil Fuels and Polluting Industries
Two-thirds of the directors who run the #Conservative #Party’s multi-million-pound #endowment #fund have interests in #fossil #fuel firms or #polluting #industries, DeSmog can reveal. The Conservative Party Foundation Limited was founded in 2009 with the purpose of raising and managing “legacy funds to support the long term finance of the Conservative Party”.
Financial interests of its directors include #Shell, #BP, consultancies that work for fossil fuel giants and #petrostates, and the construction multinational #JCB.

A quotation from Dante Alighieri:
«««««
Ah, Constantine! what mischief in the gift —
Not thy conversion, but the dower you gave
For the first wealthy Father to receive.
[Ahi, Costantin, di quanto mal fu matre,
non la tua conversion, ma quella dote
che da te prese il primo ricco patre!]
