Aggressively promoted by the BBC who don’t like that more of us no longer pay a license fee. Could someone help them join the dots?

Oh blimey, here we go again. Time to vote in the National Trust AGM to keep so-called 'Restore Trust' off the council. Use the quick vote to ensure we don't split the anti-Restore vote. Or.... 1/2 www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Bellingcat has become aware of an individual contacting people via Telegram and WhatsApp from a UK number, naming themselves "Antony Kevin", claiming to work for Bellingcat, and asking for assistance recruiting journalists and analysts working on Syria, in particular Damascus and Idlib.

Support the National Trust by voting for Council members by 11:59pm on 30 October 2026. Quickvote is convenient if you're short of time or worried about inadvertently voting for Restore Trust's Bonigala, Cristea, Goldman, Mealing or Omrani. In our often bad times, the Trust's doing good things.
