While googling around for stuff about them I found this article about a sting Hope Not Hate did on them. They produced a slideshow of doom for a fictional wealthy investor, imagining a proposed eugenicist city state on the Isle of Man.

"pro-LGBT rights" here means "pro Peter Thiel". He gives them a lot of money.
They don't want to make a population level impact on demographics, they want their kids to be the new aristocracy
