    But you stated 'each' which to me implies each and every.

    I would accuse you of being deliberately disingenuous but I forgot

    Only Leavers tell lies

    Just looked up this 'Independent Think Tank' Here is their Chairman.

    Torsten joined the Foundation in September 2015 as Director. Prior to this, he was Director of Policy for the LABOUR PARTY and worked in the Treasury, as a member of the Council of Economic Advisers during the financial crisis and as a civil servant.

    So no bias there then!

    Hang you head in shame 123.

    Scroll further down that page you looked at and you'll find David Willetts as Executive Chair. Cabinet Minister for the Tories from 2010-2014.

    You'll probably find that everyone who works there has cross party political affiliations, just as every other body in the country has. And this is written on their website under his bio (he is actually a director). They're not trying to hide former political associations. But its an independent and transparent research body. They are transparent with their funding - I can't emphasise how important that is.

    You’re obviously working in the Public Sector in some capacity seeing as you have so much knowledge of this mind numbing s h i t and the time to waste looking for it and posting on here.

    Probably a Momentum member as well.

    You have a political agenda and spend much of your day on here peddling it.

    Lots of spare time in your “working day” for a “30 something” it seems.

    When I was your age I was so busy with work I didn’t have time to p I s s.

    Are you now working in the Public Sector 68?

    You seem to have as much spare time as Carolgees 123 to troll through all this s h I t.

    I’m semi retired so I have an excuse.

    I wouldn't say it was an agenda, more a political perspective which we all have on here, whats wrong with expressing it and questioning others on theirs?

    And most of my work is with US East Coast business right now, so that means a lot of evening work for me as they don't come into the office until 2pm our time. Thanks for your concern though Mick!

    .......... Allied Healthcare (ed: community based) and I didn't troll through any links.

    Currently taking time off but I've still got more interesting things to do than that.

    I just typed 'research funding transparency' into the browser which took me straight to the linked site.

    Thought it may come in handy for those with an interest; as stated though, I'm just passing through.

    Going to see/hear some live music tonight and then it's Millwall away on the train tomorrow.

    Things to do, people to see....... .
