The Telegraph has published an article about the BBC World Service Trust, which it describes as “A little-known charity run by the BBC spending more than £15 million from the UK taxpayer on ‘international aid’ projects including ‘educating’ Africa on climate change and a ‘romantic’ soap opera for Indian radio.”
The Telegraph says the BBC Trust gets additional public money from the Foreign Office-funded British Council, the European Union and the United Nations, as well as cash from Microsoft founder Bill Gates’s charitable foundation. According to the paper, “it has seen its budget grow tenfold since it was set up in 1999, including spending more than £5 million a year on salaries.”
