    Lowdown NHS should have done more research on who and what lies behind the IEA.

    It is incredible that it has been given charitable status. Guess who is at the head of the list of trustees? Sir Michael Hintze. I assume he helps them financially too.
    https://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/Showcharity/RegisterOfCharities/ContactAndTrustees.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=235351&SubsidiaryNumber=0

    Their income/spending is stated at +£2million.

    This is an extract from the Wikipedia entry on Hintze.

    'In 2006, at the time of the Cash for Peerages allegations concerning the Labour Party, Hintze voluntarily revealed he was one of the previously anonymous patrons who had made loans to the Conservative Party. In 2011 his known loans and donations to the party totalled around £4 million. In the five months to September 2011 he donated £31,000, enough to grant him membership of the Conservative Treasurers' Group, the second highest rung on the party's donor's ladder, which allows its members access to senior Conservative figures through a series of lunches, receptions and campaign launches.

    When the Conservative Party were in opposition, Hintze disclosed that he had donated to George Osborne, David Willetts, Liam Fox, Theresa May, David Davis, Adam Holloway, and Boris Johnson. In addition, CQS made non-cash donations to William Hague, Liam Fox, and George Osborne. In May 2008, David Cameron declared a donation from Hintze to the Conservative Party that was used to pay for drinks receptions for Tory MPs and their partners. In March 2008, Hintze paid for a private jet to ferry Cameron and Osborne from Newcastle to Biggin Hill after the Conservative Party conference.

    In October 2011, it was revealed that Adam Werritty, a close friend and business associate of then Secretary of State for Defence Liam Fox, was provided with a free desk by Hintze at CQS's London base as part of his £29,000 donation to Fox's charity The Atlantic Bridge. Hintze also supplied a private jet for Fox and Werritty to fly from the United States to London in May 2011.These disclosures led to the resignation of Liam Fox (who was then Secretary of State for Defence) and the dismissal of Hintze's then-charity adviser, Oliver Hylton.'
