US accused of meddling in British politics with $500,000 grant for ‘public education’ courses

The US embassy in London is offering grants of up to $500,000 for new "public education" programs, which critics have called interference in British domestic politics. The funding notice seeks to foster a national conversation about shared civilizational values underpinning US-UK ties. Applications are encouraged if they focus on celebrating "freedom of speech" and "limited government".
