The Bear

I see nothing in the least bit wrong with Common Purpose, what they espouse, what their aims are, or what they do.

The more people learn about the true state of Britain and the reality of the EU and what its aims really are the sooner more people will see the EU as being not the evil thing it gets presented as being and moreover now our full and unrestricted involvement in as at the very least our best option for the future.

Sorry Bear - I like you as an individual but I disagree 110% on everything you say.

I hope people do research into the EU gravy train and the corrupt state serving minnions at Common purpose.

Common Purpose (CP) - a hidden virus in our government and
schools

Amazingly, despite the tentacles of Common Purpose having crept into
practically every aspect of our public life, the great majority of
voters are still blissfully unaware of what is happening and what is
more they have cleverly convinced many major companies from British
Airways to Zennica to contribute to what is being sold as "leadership"
courses. Needless to say the Rountree Trust and Wainwright Foundation
are in it up to their necks. Politically correct speech is another
indication and tool of the virus. Essentially a follow on of the
Frankfurt School's efforts to encourage Marxism as originally
commissioned by the Leninists in the twenties. Just try Googling
"Common Purpose" and see what you come up with. B&A

Common Purpose (CP) - a hidden virus in our government and schools
Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 18,000 graduate members
and enormous power, Common Purpose is largely unknown to the general
public.
It recruits and trains "leaders" to be loyal to the directives of
Common Purpose and the EU, instead of to their own departments, which
they then undermine or subvert, the NHS being an example.
Common Purpose is identifying leaders in all levels of our government
to assume power when our nation is replaced by the European Union, in
what they call “the post democratic society.� They are learning to rule
without regard to democracy, and will bring the EU police state home to
every one of us.

Common Purpose is also the glue that enables fraud to be committed
across these government departments to reward pro European local
politicians. Corrupt deals are enabled that put property or cash into
their pockets by embezzling public assets.
It has members in the NHS, BBC, the police, the legal profession, the
church, many of Britain’s 7,000 quangos, local councils, the Civil
Service, government ministries, Parliament, and it controls many RDA's
(Regional Development Agencies).
Cressida Dick is the Common Purpose senior police officer who
authorised the "Shoot to kill" policy without reference to Parliament,
the law or the British Constitution. Jean de Menezes was one of the
innocents who died as a result. Her shoot to kill policy still stands
today.

Common Purpose trained Janet Paraskeva, the Law Society's Chief
Executive Officer. Surprising numbers of lawyers are CP members. It is
no coincidence that justice is more expensive, more flawed and more
corrupt. And no surprise the courts refused to uphold the law, when a
challenge was made to the signing of the six EU treaties, which
illegally abolish Britain's sovereignty.
Common Purpose is backed by John Prescott's "Office of the Deputy Prime
Minister" (ODPM), and its notional Chief Executive is Julia Middleton.
The Head of the Civil Service Commission is a member
It is close to controlling Plymouth City Council, where is has
subverted the democratic process. Local people cannot get CP's corrupt
activities published, because the editors of local papers are in CP,
and refuse to let journalists publish the articles.

CP started in 1985; in the 1990s, with its members' cross departmental
influence, it was involved with what then became the disasterous New
Millennium Dome Company and the squandering of £800 million; it appears
£300m of this was diverted into the web of quangos set up by CP. There
is a fraud case over this, stalled in the courts thanks to CP's
influence in the legal profession.

Over £100 million of our money has been spend on CP courses alone, and
its been hidden from the public, and members names are a guarded
secret. It charges substantial figures for its courses. Matrix for
example costs £3,950 plus VAT, and courses for the high flying leaders
can be as much as £9,950 plus VAT. This money is ours, paid by
government departments financing senior staff to become agents for CP,
instead of loyal to their own jobs.

Common Purpose (Ltd by guarantee, No. 2832875) is registered as charity
No. 1023384. It describes itself as being involved in Adult education.
Given it preys on the rich and powerful, charges expensive fees, and
its aims are clearly power and control, its charity status stinks and
should be revoked.

Potential Common Purpose subjects are selected for training. Are they
susceptible to being converted; are they in the right job, with the
right colleagues and friends? Do they have power, influence and the
control of money? If the candidate has some, or all of these key
attributes, then the local Common Purpose Advisory Board decides if
they can do the course.

Common Purpose - training our future EU rulers
Trained leaders are encouraged to act as a network, enable other
members' plans, and have meetings under the so called Chatham House
rules. This effectively means their statements are not attributable to
them, nor can attendees reveal information heard at a Common Purpose
meeting.
Council Officers are having secret meetings with, for example, property
developer Common Purpose friends. No agendas and no minutes. Common
Purpose Graduates from the public quango sectors such as the Regional
Development Agencies attend, and have the power to award large sums of
public money to projects.
It is the worst national example of cronyism, closed contract bids,
fraud and corruption. And unseen to the general public.
Common Purpose undermines traditionally effective and efficient
government departments with an overwhelming influx of new language,
political correctness and management initiatives. The talk is of
empowering communities, vision, worklessness, mainstreaming (sucking EU
money into a project to sustain it), community empowerment, working
partnership, regeneration and celebrating diversity etc etc. Documents
appear about change, and reorganisation.

As CP leaders become more senior they employ countless managers and
bureaucrats. In time confusion rules, and things don’t seem to work
properly. Management decisions are made that seem stupidly destructive.
The organisation’s performance becomes sluggish. Undermining the NHS is
Common Purpose’s biggest success so far, with bureaucrats outnumbering
hospital staff three to one.
David Cameron, who is pro Europe, uses the language of Common Purpose;
he has appointed Ken Clarke, the most committed of the pro Europeans,
in charge of his Democracy Taskforce - rather like putting the cat in
charge of the safety of mice.
Common Purpose specifically targets children from the age of 13, and
more recently younger, for special leadership and citizenship training.
Yes, it is active in schools, and again the average parent has no idea.

People have contacted us to speak of their experiences with Common
Purpose. A common theme is its all sweetness and light, until you fail
to follow the direction set by the CP leadership.
Then interesting things happen. Ladies in particular have been bullied
at work, some have lost their jobs, some have become paranoid and
depressed at the pressure from people ganging up on them.
A typical story is a husband describing the decline in his wife from
the time she becomes a Common Purpose graduate. Loss of sparkle,
enthusiasm, anxious and changed, and she initiated a divorce.
Other Common Purpose people lie when they are challenged as to their
involvement.
Common Purpose candidates are given a two day residential course in
which they are ‘trained’ in a closed residential environment, such as a
small hotel. They are encouraged to reveal personal information about
themselves, such as their likes, dislikes, ambitions and dreams.
Discussions are then controlled by the course leaders. Some
participants have likened this to Delphi technique or the application
of group psychology such as Cognitive Dissonance or brainwashing.
Treason, subversion and deceit at work with a Common Purpose to destroy
the UK and establish the EUsoviet. EU funding is used as the fuel to power the set up of EU government in
countries and as the fuel for fraud and corruption. Once a country and
businesses 'suck on' EU funds they are effectively bought. By this
means the EU can control businesses, regions and Countries.
Take a few UK examples. £2m plus of EU structural funds is sunk into
developing a film studio in Cornwall. After 2 years there is found to
be no proper studio, no accounts and no funds. Has there been an
investigation? Yes but with no visible result. The only local
organisation with responsibility and supposedly accountability for the
EU funds is the GOSW. And when challenged they hide behind the Office
of the Deputy Prime Minister, itself the centre for all things EU.
The EU plan has been very simple and very clever. First set up via the
traitors within UK national government the Regional Development
Agencies. These were designed to be smooth as silk and sweet as honey “
to do all things good e.g. regeneration, helping communities, helping
business, innovation, entrepreneurship etc etc. Next load the honey
trap with large amounts of money so that people, organisations are
attracted to the honey pot. As more people are attracted, increase the
powers of the RDAs to include planning powers and input. Make it
compulsory for City Councils, County Councils and District Councils to
consult them, and then their power increases further. And with planning
powers they can get their organisational snouts into virtually every
walk of life.
Meanwhile 'bring the government to the people' by setting up the
Regional Government Offices - (remembering Regional = EU). The
Government Offices now get increasing powers to interfere in
everything, and especially local and strategic planning, because almost
nothing gets done, or built without going through the planning process.
Make consultation with the Government Offices compulsory.
Now the clever bit. In the background the traitors now work to
introduce the Regional Assemblies. At first un-elected and informal, so
as to allay fears and ease doubts as to their true purpose. Then the
˜behind the scenes traitors start to work to make them elected using
large amounts of UK public money and EU funds.
The process will use anybody it can to sweeten the pill. The church for
instance. What friendly vicar would help set up a devious political
con. You can trust us they say. So interesting that the many Bishops,
including the then Bishop of Exeter, worked so hard to help set up and
implement the SW Regional Assembly for example.
Since all of these bodies, that is the Government Offices of the
Regions, the Regional Assemblies and the Regional Development Agencies
are accountable to the ODPM, it is quickly evident that the real plan
has been to set up a parallel EU government structure in UK. Set up by
deceit and deception. By making sure that these bodies have the ability
to use massive amounts of funding and staff, they can now start to run
amok over our traditional democratic structure of local government.
The EU grants and funding keeps pouring in. Take the £320m of Objective
One in Cornwall. Nobody really knows where that money was spent, except
that it was frittered away in remarkably small sums £500,00 and
£150,000 here, £60,000 there etc etc. By this means, and particularly
with minimal proper accounting and probity checks, the money reaches
back pockets, favoured consultants and the dishonest. The breeding
ground for fraud and corruption has been created, and not surprisingly
fraud and corruption begin to run rife. With it comes the added
nastiness of threats, intimidation and bullying of those who hold up
their hand and say look this is illegal.
If you suspect Common Purpose is active in your organization, or see a
pattern of incredibly bad decisions, money being wasted, notice
bullying, fraud, or threats, note the names of those involved (we've
tracked down over a thousand) and please contact us. And publish the
truth about Common Purpose as widely as you can.

Freedom of Information requests show that N Ireland, Northumbria,
Staffordshire, Thames Valley, Warwickshire and West Midlands Police have
spent a massive £219,360 of taxpayers money on Common Purpose
'leadership training'. Hard up police forces can spend on a political
charity to train officers in 'who pulls EU levers of power'. At least
one police force cannot fully account for the amount spent on CP, as is
the case with other public bodies in UK. Where is probity when police
officers meet under Chatham House rules of secrecy, and sit as CP
Advisory Board members to select and reject other members of the public
for this 'elitest' training? Did you know that your taxes where being
spent on politics and not policing your community?
Liz Bashforth Assistant Chief Executive Sheffield City Council refuses
to release CP expenditure Latest News 2/09/2008 1 September 2008.
A major authority, Sheffield, has refused to release expenditure on
Common Purpose. A Freedom of Information request is refused by Liz
Bashforth Assistant Chief Executive Sheffield Legal and Governance.
Records of CP expenditure are apparently too scattered within the
Council to be able to locate them within a sensible time frame. The
truth is that Sheffield does not want this expenditure released. This
pattern of refusal is repeated in authorities across the country, and is
now assisted by Common Purpose using their graduates within Councils.
Such action has resulted in breaches of Data Protection in some
authorities. Why is Sheffield not proud to declare its expenditure of
your money on this wonderful charity? Why the cover-up? SEE FULL

Burgess Salmon - Common Purpose linked Law Firm alleged conflicts of
interest and negligent advice Latest News 31/08/2008 From The
Sunday Times August 31, 2008 Law firm in loans probe. Iain Dey. AN
EMINENT West Country law firm is at the centre of a probe by the legal
watchdog into allegations that sub-prime loans may have been mis-sold to
farmers. Burgess Salmon, which writes the textbook on English
agricultural law, is being investigated by the Solicitors Regulation
Authority (SRA) after complaints made by at least two of its former
clients. While advising the farmers on sub-prime loans, the law firm was
acting for both the borrower and the UK Group, a specialist agricultural
lender. The farmers claim that they could have secured financing
elsewhere, but were encouraged to use the UK Group, which offered loans
at interest rates of 20% or more. The SRA is investigating allegations
related to conflicts of interest and negligent advice. Burgess Salmon
has denied the claims. Although some of the allegations have stood for
more than two years, farms are now being repossessed
and a number of MPs have taken up the case.

Part Two

A cross-party group led by Conservative John Greenway has written to the
Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform to demand a
full investigation into the claims. George Osborne, the shadow
chancellor, and Michael Howard, the former Conservative party leader,
are among the MPs involved in the campaign, along with the Liberal
Democrat MPs Nick Harvey and Dan Rogerson.
Geoff Bean, whose pedigree dairy herd was sold off by administrators
this summer, said: Ive been ruined, my familys heritage has
been ruined and my 20-year-old sons future has been ruined. I have
been scared to speak up, but I will fight this to the end.
Bean is now fighting eviction from his farm in North Yorkshire. The
other known complaint to the SRA came from advisers acting for Pamela
Ward-Jones of Barnhorne Manor Farm in East Sussex.
Edwin Coe, the law firm that sued the government over the collapse of
Railtrack, is acting for both complainants.
Peter Williams, a partner at Burgess Salmon, said: "Both of those
former clients of Burgess Salmon have made complaints to the SRA, which
are currently being investigated.
Until that investigation is complete and we have received the SRAs
determination, it would be wholly inappropriate for us to comment.End.

Burgess Salmon is connected with Common Purpose via Senior Partner GUY

Corruption in Councils and Welsh Assembly
Readers Comments 25/08/2008
Received 25 August,2008 14:06 From Web visitor....(Name removed for
personal protection) Â This is a one to one email to demonstrate my
utmost respect for you. Today I have had a spine chilling major wake up
call following my receipt of the email (with the address of
CP Exposed). Â I expected top tier Management to be party to
Common Purpose, however, I did not expect Graduates to be so close to
grass roots departments. Youth Officers, Cleansing and Refuge Collection
team leaders are Common Purpose Graduates when the ordinary working man
is denied access to basic adult educational needs. Â Information in
your website has driven home the corruption not only within the innards
of Council departments where I work, but also the Welsh Assembly. Â I
have shown your DVDs to my colleagues in the workplace and we can all
relate to them. Today I have had names. This brings it all in to
perspective. Some of these people have maliciously quashed
(denied oxygen) internal investigations within the City and County of
Swansea.
Common Purpose linked to breach of Data Protection Act. Latest
News   24/08/2008 It is emerging that several Local Authorities and
at least one Police Authority have breached the Data Protection Act by
unlawfully supplying Common Purpose with the detailed names and
addresses of people asking for information under the Freedom of
Information Act. Common Purpose has sent several letters (available on
this site) suggesting authorities contact Common Purpose if the
authority receives FOI requests about CP. Common Purpose encourages them
to do this by saying that individuals are asking questions about CP,
when in fact they are quite rightly asking for information concerning
the Local Authority's activity and expenditure with CP. Common Purpose
has no legal right to interfere in the FOI process, nor to coerce Local
Authority officers and officials (including the police) to release data
protected under the Data Protection Act. It is understood that formal
complaints about the breaches of Data Protection are being made by
several members of
the public. Watch this space.......
Supporters and Helpers
Thank you all our helpers 9/07/2008
A big thank you to all the good people who have been helping and
supporting our efforts to expose Common Purpose.
We are pleased to see that more and more ordinary people are asking the
questions that need to be asked about CP. Why is so much public money
spent on these undemocratic so called leaders? Why do they not declare
themselves openly? Why is CP able to debate and promote new policy such
a No Smoking or Curfews for young people under 16? What does CP mean
exactly when it says...'our networks will soon be very important'? Why
does Julia Middleton CEO of Common Purpose tell members of the public to
'shut up' when they quite rightly question CP's legitimacy?
What right does CP have to help set up the Media Standards Trust, and
why do we need major commercial powers and banks to 'help protect' the
transparency of our media? Aren't they the people who control the media
in the first place? Why are there so many CP 'leaders' within the BBC?
The licence payer paid for them of course.......without knowing!
Only by seeking the truth will the taxpayer reveal the true objective of
CP........'To create the new "Leaders" of the "post-democratic
Society".'
