This is primary a UK story about phone hacking and how to regulate the press...
The Leveson inquiry was set up to deal with the Murdoch press and others illegal
phone tapping. After recent events this article posted by David is interresting in
that the mainstream press maybe opening one eye to what is going on behind
the scenes of power and who police the 'powerfull'...!!
Common Purpose has claimed more than 35,000 people have 'graduated' from its courses in the UK and across the world. As well as firms in the private sector, government departments, local authorities, quangos, charities and police forces have all sent staff on Common Purpose's leadership programmes. A week long '20:20' course in advanced leadership costs almost £5,000.
Common Purpose 'alumni' are encouraged to network and assist each other, though a full list of their identities is not publicly available.
They have a private website, which requires a password to log in. Members who disclose information from this site face expulsion. Meetings are held under the so-called Chatham House rules, under which no one can be quoted by name. So much for the 'transparency' in public life that is being called for by the Media Standards Trust and Hacked Off lobbyists.
However, the public area of the Common Purpose website, Middleton's book Beyond Authority and other sources do reveal the identity of a number of prominent officials, 'graduates', course lecturers or those associates whom Middleton considers to be her 'inspirational leaders'.

For a number of years Common Purpose has attracted the obsessive attention of the more outré internet conspiracy theorists such as David Icke, as well as bloggers on the far Right. This has provided a convenient smokescreen against a more rational investigation.

This is a cop out, I interpret this... Because alternate researchers/journalists
are trying to expose these stories on the web. The mainstream media have
an excuse not to investigate!! As they are " All Mad on the internet ! "

Common Purpose, so long exposed in the alternative media, now faces the mainstream spotlight - you see, mainstream media, conspiracies and the hidden networks and connections behind them DO exist

Let us start working together to protect the freedom of expression for ALL parts of the media - social media included - before these people delete it because that's the plan.
It 's a stitch-up - always was - and it needs unstitching NOW.

Leveson Inquiry has momentous implications for free speech. But Mail dossier raises disturbing questions about the influence of 'people who know best'
'Deputy Assistant Commissioner Akers was in charge of the child protection team in Islington when the Evening Standard exposed a long-standing paedophile sex ring in the borough's children's homes.
Ms Akers was also in charge of the Met's North West protection team in the months leading up to the death of eight-year-old Victoria Climbie, who was tortured and murdered by her guardians. This episode, which again triggered a firestorm of media criticism and resulted in a public inquiry, led to her receiving 'words of advice' — the police equivalent of a reprimand.
Neither episode figures prominently in her official profiles. Indeed, none of this was mentioned when Ms Akers told the Leveson Inquiry that News International's transgressions could not be defended as being in the public interest — a claim vigorously rebutted by News International's lawyers, who asked how Ms Akers was qualified to define the public interest.'

PS: But mainstream media arrogance continues even within an excellent investigation like this one in the Daily Mail. The article says at one point:
'For a number of years Common Purpose has attracted the obsessive attention of the more *outré internet conspiracy theorists such as David Icke, as well as bloggers on the far Right. This has provided a convenient smokescreen against a more rational investigation.'
I shall translate: 'People like David Icke and, in terms of Common Purpose, especially Brian Gerrish at UKColumn, were a decade and more ahead of us and we are now only just starting to see the web of conspiracy, intrigue, connections and deceit that is on the verge of deleting the freedom of the British media [and not only that, either]. But let us not give credit to those that were on the case way before us - let's give the deeply false and arrogant impression that 'rational' investigation can only begin once we, the credible mainstream media, have arrived on the scene.' There, that's about it.
Okay, let's now put aside such ludicrous self-deceit and all work together to protect freedom of expression for everyone.
PPS: Common Purpose and all the connections this Mail article makes is only a single dot in a vast tapestry of globally-interconnecting dots within which paedophilia is omnipresent. They have identified here one tiny, though in British terms fundamentally important, aspect of the game, but the game itself is beyond the imagination of the mainstream media in scale, depth and potential horror - and most of the alternative media come to that.
I have been researching the subject for nearly a quarter of a century and been to well over 50 countries in pursuit of the truth. Maybe if you had a little humility mainstrean media and came to me with an open mind instead of to arrogantly and ignorantly take the piss you might just get a better idea of what you and humanity are dealing with. It ain't pretty, but it needs facing - and fast.
* Outré ='conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual'.
Hey, cheers, chaps. You say the nicest things - appreciated.
