HALF THE STORY, ALL THE TIME

By | |

Wonder if the BBC will pick up on this up from its ex employee Andrew Gilligan? A lobby group, Sovereign Strategy, with close ties to Labour, has been secretly backing the ‘Hacked Off’ campaign. Gosh, what a scandal. Also the charity ‘Common Purpose’ has a man on the inquiry board into hacking:

    Yeah David, I read this last night.  I cannot urge strongly enough that people read Gilligan’s piece.  Before I had an open mind about ‘Common Purpose’ but now, with the hypocrisy and abuse that Gilligan has revealed, I do regard it as a sinister organisation.

    Like hippie, I also had an open mind about Common Purpose. Also read Andrew Gilligan’s piece posted on the open thread last night.  My head was spinning by the end, not because of Common Purpose but at the sheer density of connections and cross connections revealed. 
    But, yes, what it also revealed about the ruthlessness and unscrupulousness of Common Purpose and the use of those connections was an eye opener.
    I am beginning to wonder if there is any part left of our publicly funded institutions and quangocracy that can be trusted.

      The Stop Common Purpose website is worth a look.

      I wonder what sort of person it is that hears a name like ‘Common Purpose’ and doesn’t immediately understand the potentially sinister implications. One that’s been the lucky recipient of a ‘comprehensive’ education, I suppose.

    Good spot David ! Would urge everyone to write to their MP, demanding an end to public sector money (95%) of Common Purpose income), being spent on CP courses.
    This really is a double insult to the taxpayer – hugely expensive courses with statist left wing pro EU content.
    Interestingly, the moment a journo writes anything critical online, a whole string of ‘individuals’ pop up to say, ‘I’m a retired teacher / nurse/ social worker and I attended a course and it wasn’t pro EU, blah blah.’

    Thanks for this!
    The best thing that the Beeb did was to hang Mr Gilligan out to dry, just so they could continually suck up to Campbell, Blair and their sordid ilk.We now have a journalist who has done some investigations worthy of the best of old school types like Insight etc.
    I thought that David B was the ex-OFSTED cipher, but he`s not. 
    Still it does show the Masonic-type incestuous nepotism at the top of our sordid establishment.
    Turns out that Blairs compact carrier called Sally Morgan is now head of OFSTED…and they DARE tell us about the Murdochs!
    I for one would rather have that Norwegian psycho in charge now he`s calmer than any number of Morgans, McShanes or Lansleys!
    Ross Perot has another barn to muck out if he likes!

    Agree with the above. Is it possible to have soemone with a bit of time to do an organigram of Gilligan’s article? Hacked Off>>Sovereign Strategy>>New labour>>Lords>>NE councils>>Common Purpose>>Media Standards Trust>> etc…

    The BBC is a common purpose axis partner, they exist in a symbiotic relationship. A cancer like common purpose needs a worldwide MSM partner and the BBC is the perfect choice, it is stuffed with people who hold the same political views, who share lifelong friendships and moral principles, in fact to all intents and purposes they are one and the same. They are a cancer fed by the host yet the host knows almost nothing about this cancer within and that is where the BBC comes in.

    Common purpoe is protected by the BBC, given special access and preferential treatment. And the BBC has a gigantic amount of information on us all, it is the biggest employer of jornalists who gather amazing amounts of information. they have access to to who lives where, bank accounts etc and in conjunction with the myriad of common purpose run quangos they have as much detailed information on each and every person in the UK as the stasi held in East Germany.

    The rise of CP under newlabour, a bypassing of normal governance, with this alternative government in place with the hugely influential BBC as a partner it does not matter who infests Westminster because the real power resides in the meeting places of common purpose. In effect they are attempting a coup, they hold increasing sway in the police, one of their own now effectively runs the met and many other forces are run by CP. Any politician who does not join them or fails to toe the line or appears conflict with CP intersts are being destroyed through a concerted attack and smear campaign.

    The BBCs part in the coup is to prevent knowledge of CPs growing power reaching the public, to present CP goals and ideals to the public in all its programmes, to condition the public into accepting CP ideology as the only acceptable ideology and narrative. The political class had a dream, a dream of perpetual unchallenged power and influence, one party in one European superstate.

    Common purpose and the BBC are alike in so many ways they could be one and the same. Both are the biggest threat we in the UK faces today. The sheer power and influence of this CP/BBC axis is huge, they play a massive part in deciding our future and running our lives and almost nobody knows about common purpose, nor will they untill CP are ready to make their final move.

      Indeed, an internal bloodless coup is a good way of describing it. Not just CP and BBC but the ACPO, the judiciary, most quangos the Civil Service etc. I fully expected a wholesale slaughter and stable-clean when the Coalition got in…I like to kid myself that if the Conservatives had won a majority it might have happened (I’m not winning the battle trying to kid myself)…

        This modern reformed conservative party is riddled with common purpose, to all intents and puposes it is a common purpose party like labour and the libdems. One party one set of ideals and goals with a common purpose.

    While the BBC is trying to reshape public opinion into thinking that those on the Right are the most dangerous and that there are right-wing groups waiting to commit mass murder any minute now, that’s not what’s going on in the US.

    Americans for Tax Reform evacuated after bomb threat


    Staffers at Americans for Tax Reform, the anti-tax group run by conservative activist Grover Norquist, evacuated their building Monday morning after a bomb threat was called in, according to authorities.

    A spokesman for the Washington D.C. police department, Anthony Clay, confirmed to The Daily Caller that officers from the explosive ordinance division were called to the building that houses the organization’s D.C. offices. The employees have since been allowed to return to work, another officer told TheDC from the scene.

    Instead, the News Channel right now has someone on telling you that the folks at Jihadwatch and Pamela Gellar are extremists who are part of the radical white supremacists who want to kill Muslims.

    Mark my words:  based on what I just heard on the BBC News Channel, this blog will soon be flagged as an extremist site.  If anyone posts another link to Jihadwatch, it will be proof of the extremist conspiracy the BBC just told me exists.

      That isn’t far from my own conclusion. Already today there have reports published re the shooter’s “tunnel vision’ and limited view because of certain internet sites.

      P.S. Thomas Hylland Eriksen in The Guardian today: 

      “…had he instead been forced to receive his information through a broadsheet newspaper, where not all the stories dealt with Europe’s loss of confidence and the rise of militant Islam, it is conceivable that his world would have looked slightly different. Perhaps one lesson from this weekend of shock and disbelief may be that cultural pluralism is not necessarily a threat to national cohesion, but that the tunnel vision resulting from selective perusal of the internet is.”

        I sense a revamped version of Big Brother coming up where the likes of us receive ‘political re-education’ as a public spectacle.

    The traitorous labour party spent millions of our money sending public office personnel to ‘common Purpose’ courses.  What more do you need to know about it!
