UK: Homeless Charity Boss Given Ultimatum--Be Quiet or No Cash from Humanity Torbay (fundraising platform)

[mydailywow]

"A homeless charity boss says she was told she wouldn’t get Lottery cash – unless she stopped publicly criticising Universal Credit and the Government. Outspoken CEO Ellie Waugh, 53, applied for £130,000 from the Big Lottery Fund for charity Humanity Torbay. But she claims an official who came to assess the application then tried to ”gag” her." https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/homeless-charity-boss-says-she-was-told-she-wouldnt-get-lottery-cash-unless-she-stopped-publicly-criticising-universal-credit-and-the-government/26/10/?fbclid=IwAR1PocquKKQGFaN4tNz7Q9a3xa8ipYCffTHxNnh8_Q1QgVqV9ISAJgaB7Vs

I wonder if the reason they chose 'universal credit', as a psychological shoehorn towards 'universal basic income.' at somepoint in the future..?
