Unlike other Muslim blogs who understandably have focused heavily on the charlatans at the Quilliam Foundation I've noticed how this outwardly portrayed champion of the poor downtrodden taxpayer has increasingly begun to turn its attention towards Mid East politics.
Ironically despite their usual calls for financial transparency they've been extremely reluctant to disclose their own funding sources or publish their accounts. One reason why their funding streams appear rather opaque maybe because one of their funders Alexander Heath is a tax exile.
However, despite this ironic reticence to reveal their funding sources the Guardian have exposed some of the shadowy characters fronting this organisation. One character that Muslims need to be aware of is Matthew Elliot who for someone claiming to be concerned about the British Taxpayer takes an interesting position on Israel and Hamas.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out this is a right wing front organisation like a number of others that have sprung up who selectively target issues to suit their right wing agenda. You wont find squeaky Suzie Squire asking the Tories about Lord Ashcroft's tax status.
The Taxavoiders Alliance are a £1 million operation and like their fellow travellers in the Center For Social Cohesion still remain very silent on who funds them. In view of their Middle East interest I have my suspicions about who funds them but so far have no conclusive evidence.
