Common Purpose.

[KateLMead]

On many occasions I have written about the so called Charity, the organisation called Common Purpose.. This organisation has aroused little on no interest on VV. However in todays Wail the write up and the fact that Cameron did not reveal links to press curb group, and is involved in this organisation along with the majority of those in powerful position is an eye opener..
The courses attended by police heads, government MP's in all parties, head teachers and any one in authority at the cost of £9.000 they are brainwashed through the use of Neuro Linguistic programming.
Julia Middleton chief executive earn between £110,000 and £111,000 a year, Freedom of information requests show that government department have spent more than
1 million sending staff on these Common Purpose courses a so called charity!!!!. Police and Councils are believed to have given this organisation millions. Worth looking at and reading the article it might just stimulate a bit of interest

It's all going to plan. Which is to create a "managerial" class to govern the proles - ie you and me.
We live in an increasingly elitist country. By which I mean not just that David Cameron went to Eton, etc. But that there are only certain views that are permissible, debates must be conducted upon certain lines, and all the "acceptable" conclusions have already been arrived at.

Certainly it is becoming the death of debate. Why even have a leadership debate before an election if all the main candidates are going to say the same thing and all agree with each other???

It's one of the reasons I like France. It's like the UK used to be in so very many ways. But the PC mess is coming there too. Slowly because the Average FrenchMan/Woman is pretty salt of the earth and well grounded.

The UK is going to drown in the effluent of the PC brigades BS.

It's going to go with a whimper, not a bang. Drunk, Drugged and "Happy".... This was Blair and Brown's Utopia. Keep them amused and repressed whilst they get on with raping the country and it's laws. Of course the major oops was that we simply ran out of money to keep them amused with.

This, of course, leads to the "rage of the _classes_", as they realise the endless story of booze, fags and drugs is going to end. Crunch time and the rage that comes with it.

I shall continue to watch from the sidelines as I remain disenfranchised...

Couldn't agree more with both yourself and Cromwell. This organisation is ignored by the masses.

No response so far.

Well done Frank, the group do not like to be asked questions or the MP's councillors, police, heads of departments in all areas of importance. We await the reply when and if you receive one with interest.
