Common Purpose

Common Purpose UK ex Wiki
QUOTE
Common Purpose UK is an [ allegedly ] independent not for profit organization that runs leadership development programmes across the UK.
Common Purpose UK, founded in 1989, is an influential organization offering training programmes for political leaders and business managers from all levels and sectors. The CEO is Julia Middleton [ from the London School of Economics, a Socialist propaganda machine - Editor ] and its registered office is in London.

The legal status of Common Purpose is that of a charity. In 2006 it has employed 142 people and received an income of £6,394,656. The objects of Common Purpose are the advancement of education for the public benefit with special emphasis on civil and social awareness and responsibility. The company states it aims to improve the way society works by expanding the vision, decision-making ability and influence of all kinds of leaders.

Common Purpose claims that more than 120,000 people have been involved in Common Purpose and 20,000 leaders from every area of the UK have completed one or more of their programmes. Further Common Purpose claims that 70 per cent of the FTSE 100 companies have used their programmes to develop their leaders.

Common Purpose also regularly commissions research on contemporary management issues. Common Purpose has of late come under criticism from intelligence writer Christopher Story a former adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and ex-British naval officer and submarine warfare expert Brian Gerrish [ the Rationalwiki is a hostile source - Editor ] who claim that its aim is to control the United Kingdom. Similar criticism of the organization has come from the Campaign for an Independent Britain, the United Kingdom Independence Party, David Icke and the British National Party. Common Purpose trustees recently issued a brief response to these criticisms on their website.^[11] It is noted that therein they are either unwilling or unable to refute either in substance or detail the facts laid before the public by those seeking to expose corruption and abuse of charitable status. It is noted that on a very costly web site funded by the public purse they denigrate those who seek to expose the abuse.

This is a bit more of their version of the truth. Real Change - they say. Change to what? Do we want it? Have we even been asked or is it being imposed on us without our will or our knowledge? - NB The bit about real change has now [ March 2010 ] been written out. Hiding their agenda is all part of the game.

 

Common Purpose, a criminal organization
QUOTE
Although it has 80,000 trainees in 36 cities, 30,000 graduate members and enormous power, Common Purpose (CP) is largely unknown to the general public. It recruits and trains its leaders to work "beyond authority," to abuse their posts and serve Common Purpose, instead of their own departments, which they then undermine. Its members control the NHS, where it wastes £60 billion, much of it going into private pockets; and controls most of Britain's 8,500 Quangos which spend £167 billion annually, according to the Cabinet Office. Most of that is waste. Business rates and tax go up, services go down, the difference is spent on yet more CP Quangos.
UNQUOTE
Someone doesn't like this outfit, which is not to say that he is wrong. The fraud he mentions is gross; Brown is wasting £618 billion this year alone [ make that  £704 billion in 2010 ], and has the enthusiastic collusion of thousands. His charges against CP per se are not substantiated. For solid analysis of who is robbing us see Private Eye on time every time. It is the nearest thing to honest journalism that England has.

Christopher Story ex Wiki
QUOTE
Christopher Edward Harle Story FRSA (born 1938) is a British writer, publisher and government adviser specialising in intelligence and economic affairs, who is best known for his collaboration with KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn on the 1995 book The Perestroika Deception. Christopher Story, the son of Colonel Henry Harle Story MC of the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles), was educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford, and then worked as an industrial writer in Canada. In 1963, he formed his own publishing company specialising in intelligence and founded World Reports Limited in 1963. Since 1970, he has edited and published International Currency Review, which includes the World Bank, the Federal Reserve, and the Bank of England amongst its subscribers. He became an economic adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and a year after her resignation he purchased the respected Soviet Analyst, whose previous editors include Robert Conquest and Tibor Szamuely, due to his continued scepticism about Mikhail Gorbachev, perestroika and the official version of events in the Soviet Union. In May 1992, he was approached by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, who supported Story's analysis in Soviet Analyst, and handed over to Story his memoranda to the CIA, which Story edited and published as The Perestroika Deception in 1995.

Pretty sound sort of chap. He does not like CP.

 

Communitarian ex Wiki
QUOTE
Communitarianism, as a group of related but distinct philosophies, began in the late 20th century, opposing individualism. Not necessarily hostile to social liberalism or even social democracy, communitarianism emphasizes the need to balance individual rights and interests with that of the community as a whole, and argues that individual people (or citizens) are shaped by the cultures and values of their communities.
UNQUOTE
Presumably they would claim they are not communists. The Wiki certainly does just that.

 

Fifth Column
QUOTE
A fifth column is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group, such as a nation, from within, to the aid of an external enemy. The concept may be more often associated with the potential or paranoia of "the enemy within" rather than its actuality.
UNQUOTE
The idea owes a good deal to paranoia. This does not mean they do not exist. Indeed Her Majesty's Government is a perfectly good example. The CP denial is irrelevant. They will not admit guilt regardless of the truth.

 

State Within A State
QUOTE
State within a state is a political situation in a country when an internal organ, generally from the armed forces, intelligence agencies or police, does not respond to the civilian leadership. Sometimes, the term refers to state companies that, though formally under the command of the government, act de facto like private corporations. Certain political debates surrounding the separation of Church and State revolve around the perception that if left unchecked, the Church might turn into a kind of State within a State, an illegitimate outgrowth of the State's natural civil power.
UNQUOTE
That is a point of view. It ignores the idea that the management itself has been corrupted and become illegitimate. It was an approach advocated by Antonio Gramsci which led to the Long March Through The Institutions using well meaning Useful Idiots. We were attacked by the Invisible Enemy which is now deep inside Her Majesty's Government. It is also thus in America; think ZOG, Obama, think Bush and the rest of Christendom.

 

Deep state
QUOTE
The Deep state (Turkish: derin devlet) is alleged to be a group of influential anti-democratic coalitions within the Turkish political system, composed of high-level elements within the intelligence services (domestic and foreign), Turkish military, security, judiciary, and mafia.^[1][2] The notion of deep state is similar to that of a "state within the state". For those who believe in its existence, the political agenda of the deep state involves an allegiance to nationalism, corporatism, and state interests. Violence and other means of pressure have historically been employed in a largely covert manner to manipulate political and economic elites and ensure specific interests are met within the seemingly democratic framework of the political landscape.^[3][4] Former president Süleyman Demirel says that the outlook and behavior of the (predominantly military) elites who constitute the deep state, and work to uphold national interests, are shaped by an entrenched belief, dating to the fall of the Ottoman Empire, that the country is always "on the brink".^[5]
UNQUOTE
This is a Turkish thing.

 

Eurabia ex Wiki
QUOTE
Eurabia is a political neologism that refers to the premise that the Muslim population in Europe will become a majority within a few generations due to continued immigration and high birth rates. The term was publicized by the writer Bat Ye'or [ a Jew ], especially in her 2005 book Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis, referring to joint Euro-Arab foreign policies that she characterizes as anti-American and anti-Zionist. The term is generally used in combination with "dhimmitude", another term introduced by Ye'or, denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islam.
UNQUOTE
This is very much on the right lines. Her Majesty's Government has nothing to say about it. This does not prove they are guilty, not quite. See Amazon: Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis by Bat Ye'or. Does aforesaid Jew have anything to say about ethnic cleansing in Palestine, the Stolen Land called Israel by thieves. I doubt it.

 

Operation Gladio
Was going to be a resistance movement after a [ communist? ] take over

 

Resistance movement
QUOTE
A resistance movement is a group or collection of individual groups, dedicated to fighting an invader in an occupied country or the government of a sovereign nation through either the use of physical force, or nonviolence. The term resistance is generally used to designate movement considered legitimate (from the speaker's point of view). Organizations and individuals critical of foreign intervention and supporting forms of organized movement (particularly where citizens are affected) tend to favor the term. When such a resistance movement uses violence, those favorably disposed to it may also speak of freedom fighters.

There has been a dispute between states since the laws of war were first codified in 1899. The Martens Clause was introduced as a compromise wording for the dispute between the Great Powers who considered francs-tireurs to be unlawful combatants subject to execution on capture and smaller states who maintained that they should be considered lawful combatants.^[1][2] More recently the 1977 Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts, recognised in Article 1. Paragraph 4 "... in which peoples are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes..." contains many ambiguities that cloud the issue of who is or is not a legitimate combatant.^[3] Hence depending on the perspective of a state's government, a resistance movement may or may not be labelled a terrorist group based on whether the members of a resistance movement are considered lawful or unlawful combatants and their right to resist occupation is recognized.^[4] Ultimately, the distinction is a political judgment.
UNQUOTE
This tends to the military side of matters rather than political subversion, the hearts and minds aspect.

 

Sixth Column
QUOTE
Sixth Column, also known under the title The Day After Tomorrow, is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, based on a story by editor John W. Campbell, and set in a United States that has been conquered by the PanAsians, a combination of Chinese and Japanese. Originally published as a serial in Astounding Science Fiction (January, February, March 1941, as by Anson MacDonald) it was published in hardcover in 1949.
UNQUOTE
It came out in the same year as Pearl Harbour. The hard back version came out when the communists conquered China. This made it topical but not cheering.

 

Demographic threat
QUOTE
The concept of demographic threat (or demographic bomb) is a term used in political conversation to refer to population increases from within a minority ethnic group in a given country that are perceived as threatening to alter the ethnic identity of that country.
UNQUOTE
The Wiki is deliberately underplaying the truth. It ignores the attack on England It uses words like alleged and claimed; signs of Words being used as Propaganda Tools. The threat is a reality. Millions of Third World undesirables have flooded England, bribed by HMG with the enthusiastic collusion of the main stream media and the ruling class.

 

Aging of Europe
QUOTE
The Ageing of Europe, also known as the greying of Europe, is a social phenomenon in Europe characterized by a decrease in fertility, a decrease in mortality rate, and a higher life expectancy among native Europeans.

The population of Europe as a percentage of the world population is rapidly decreasing and is expected to decline over the next forty years. The "greying" of Europe specifically refers to the increase in the percentage of Europe's elderly population relative to its workforce.
UNQUOTE
This is a very real problem, perhaps the problem. We are being wiped out by financial pressures and being replaced by a tide of foreign wasters, deadbeats, free loaders, criminals, you name it. More on this at Population Dynamics

 

Population Dynamics
English people have slowed down their baby making. We are being replaced by barbarian hordes incited by a government of traitors.

 

Aging of Japan ex Wiki
Japs are getting older. They are not breeding. They are on the road to death, victims of the Demographic threat

 

Demographic warfare ex Wiki
QUOTE
Demographic warfare is the ethno-political clash between two or more ethnic groups that inhabit the same area or the simple persecution of a small group in their homeland by a larger group. In this case, such ethnic groups are fighting over survival, not demographic and political control over disputed area. Unlike real war, demographic warfare is usually fought with different demographic and political measures that would include colonization, assimilation, brainwashing, population politics that aim to change birth rate among certain populations, and, in most extreme cases, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
UNQUOTE
It is a fair description of what is being done to England by Her Majesty's Government with the whole hearted connivance of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition

 

List of Parties to the Genocide Convention
QUOTE
The list of parties to the Genocide Convention encompasses the states who have signed and ratified or acceded to the international agreement to prevent and punish actions of genocide in war and in peacetime.

On December 11, 1948, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was opened for signature. Ethiopia became the first state to deposit the treaty on July 1, 1949. The treaty came into force and closed for signature on January 12, 1951. Since then, states that did not sign the treaty can now only accede to it. The instrument of ratification, accession, or succession is deposited with the Secretary-General of the United Nations

As of 2008, 140 states have ratified or acceded to the treaty, most recently Montenegro on October 23, 2006. A further single state, the Dominican Republic has signed but not ratified the treaty. [ Including ]:-
Israel
United Kingdom
UNQUOTE
140 governments have committed and given it the force of law in their jurisdictions. The fact that Her Majesty's Government is actively engaged in the Cultural Genocide of its own in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as well ] makes them a criminal government. Of course the Jews are doing the same in Palestine but they are not murdering their own, they are killing the rightful owners.

 

Beyond Authority - Leadership In A Changing World - by Julia Middleton
QUOTE
Review 'In Beyond Authority, Julia Middleton offers a refreshing and original perspective on leadership. She shows us how to implement our dreams and overcome obstacles - including the obstacle that no one asked us to do it in the first place. This is the right book for bureaucracy-bashers and social entrepreneurs who want to change the world.' - Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Confidence: How Winning Streaks and Losing Streaks Begin and End --Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor

'What you will learn from this book is worth more than money. Not only will you learn to lead beyond your authority, but also how to be a better leader within your authority too. If you were only to buy one book about leadership, then it should be this.' - David Puttnam, President of UNICEF (UK), former filmmaker --David Puttnam, President of UNICEF (UK), former filmmaker

'Julia Middleton has a contacts list to die for - and it shows in the enormous range of experience and wisdom she has been able to tap for this book. Effective leadership in the real world operates way beyond the conventional boundaries of business management and this book is both brave and successful in showing what it takes to succeed.' - Sir Derek Higgs, Chairman, Alliance & Leicester plc --Sir Derek Higgs, Chairman, Alliance & Leicester plc Product Description

Many leaders have established their reputation in the internal silo environment of their organization. When they extend their leadership role beyond the organization, authority and legitimacy are constantly in question. Julia Middleton argues that new leaders need to be confident to legitimize themselves and challenge old ways. They need to develop a leadership style that will enable them to lead beyond the traditional boundaries and constraints of the organization. This book provides many challenging and compelling ideas and examples.

Revenge Of The Cradle - Womb Raiders
QUOTE
Revenge of the cradle refers to when a minority group has a birthrate that is significantly higher than that of the dominant group. The idea is that the minority group, if trends continue as they are, will eventually become the majority thanks to the growth in its numbers, and thus will be harder to oppress or discriminate against.

The phenomenon is worldwide, with notable examples in Japan, Israel, Serbia and portions of the United States, where several states have experienced a dramatic shift in the political climate due to expanding minority populations.

Yet another Common Purpose attack on this website and Free Speech March 2010
Latest News   14/03/2010
Common Purpose has again tried to intimidate and bully our web host into taking down the site. Again Common Purpose is alleging breach of copyright for material that is already in the public domain, has been paid for by the public purse and is of major public interest. Meanwhile Common Purpose itself has already committed breaches of Data Protection Laws, is involved in further breaches, and is collecting information on members of the public who are exposing the massive public expenditure on Common Purpose. Common Purpose is also refusing to release data unlawfully held on individuals - a further breach of the law.

Councillors in Stoke demand to know why money is wasted on Common Purpose.
Whilst the political charity Common Purpose can aggressively attack this site to try and prevent us informing the wider public of the true activities of CP, we understand that the Chief Executive of Common Purpose will shortly travel to Stoke on Trent in order to try and justify to Councillors the Council's massive expenditure on Common Purpose. Aside from the use of public funds Stoke Council also seconded a Council officer to work for Common Purpose. It is understood that this dubious arrangement lasted just over a year. Were local tax payers aware that they were paying for an officer to support a political charity?

Common Purpose reluctant to inform parents of paedophile 'graduates' and their action, if any, to protect children.
Common Purpose appears to have become very aggressive since our exposure of the Jamie Rennie and Matthew Byrne paedophiles within the CP network. We stand by our statement that the secretive Common Purpose networks, the use of behavioural training (NLP) and the proximity to school children must be highly attractive to paedophiles. Furthermore the omission of CP to obtain CRB checks for staff and graduates working with children is of grave concern to the wider public. This failure has recently been challenged by concerned local authorities.

Hollie Greig and Aberdeen Paedophile Rapes
Thank you to all those who have collected information about Common Purpose in Aberdeen, amongst the Scottish police and high levels of the Scottish Establishment. We understand that interested parties in Scotland, England and Wales are considering connections between some individuals. Please remember that all work must be evidence based.

Pass the word

Please pass on to all your friends, groups and media contacts that Common Purpose is now prepared to bully and intimidate members of the public in an attempt to stop the truth concerning their operations and vast expenditure on the public purse emerging.
 

Death of Khyra Ishaq Birmingham Tony Howell Strategic Director and Common Purpose
Latest News   27/02/2010
Khyra Ishaq, who weighed just 2st 9lb (16.8kg), was said by a paramedic to be like a concentration camp victim when she was finally rescued from her home. "What they did was a continuous course of conduct that was cruelty of an extreme kind and had at its heart the deliberate starvation of this child, who was to all intents and purposes a prisoner in the home in which she was supposed to live and be protected." The local authority defended its actions today. It claimed councils were ­limited in their efforts to protect children by current legislation. But Khalid Mahmood, Labour MP for Birmingham Perry Barr, dismissed the comments as "rubbish" and claimed the local authority was refusing to take responsibility for its failings. Tony Howell, the council's director for children, young people and families, rejected calls for his resignation. He said he was sorry they had been unable to save Khyra.

Common Purpose offices in Bond Pearce Plymouth
Latest News   14/02/2010
Hi CP exposed
I don't know if you're already aware that there is a common purpose office within the Plymouth Ballard House offices of Bond Pearce. Interesting given that they have been cutting back staff hours and making redundancies.. The office is on the 6th floor. It seems Bond Pearce via MD Victor Tettmar are also co-sponsors of the major 'leadership' training events - it would be interesting to know how much they have invested in CP. I understand that it is certainly not something that the main staff are aware of or told about. I only know about CP through tpuc and Brian Gerrish/John Harris.

If there is anything I can find out for you I'd be happy to help if possible...

Cheers Davy B

Marxist Miliband states "The Change We Need is a coalition of common purpose"

D Miliband: "The Change We Need is a coalition of common purpose"

The change we need is easy to find. It is to build new coalitions of common purpose and the supersession of past divisions" says David Miliband in the latest Fabian Society podcast.

Recorded during his keynote speech at the Fabians' Global Change We Need conference, the Foreign Secretary discusses the impact of Barack Obama's successful election campaign, the role of the E.U in furthering democratic and progressive values, and the importance of so called 'soft power' in the West:

"As we commemorate the fall of communism 20 years ago, we should remember that the soft power of values is as vital as the hard power of armies when it comes to advancing our goals and defending our societies. We should remember too that it is only through promoting shared values and shared institutions – progressive means as well as progressive ends – that we can renew and strengthen our soft power."

Video explaining psychological subversion techniques
Latest News   13/02/2010
Please watch this short video "Psychological Subversion of a Nation" A KGB trained man [ Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector ] describes the process through which a nation can be attacked and taken over by psychological subversion. First demoralisation and then destabilisation. The whole process is conducted over 25 years so as to attack the minds of a whole generation. The critical phase of destabilisation is where a nation's institutions are slowly undermined and collapsed, creating a slide into a chaotic or revolutionary state. We are experiencing this is UK at present. Following the planned and orchestrated breakdown of society comes "normalisation". This deceptive term equates to police state control of the most severe form call it communism, fascism or Marxism. Such a state murders and imprisons its people. Remember that the attack is perpetrated from within the nation. Our traitors are within UK.

 

Common Purpose ejected from MOD facilities Plymouth
Latest News   05/02/2010
Readers might be interested to know that we have been informed that Common Purpose has been refused the right to use Ministry of Defence Facilities in Plymouth. According to the source, CP were "quite aggressive" when told they were not welcome. This is an interesting story since 1. use of the Chatham House rules within a military establishment equates to a breach of the Official Secrets act and 2. CP becomes aggressive. The aggression is a reaction to their 'elitest leader(ship)' belief being challenged. Couple such aggression with CP promoting military people to 'act outside their authority' and something very nasty is emerging - particularly when the government is now informing us that British Troops are to be used on British streets to counter 'terrorism and domestic terrorism'. British squaddies have already been given questionnaires asking to establish whether they would be prepared to fire on their own people.

The common purpose agenda is to promote and facilitate the installation of the EU dictatorship. What were they doing using Plymouth military facilities in the first place? Thank you to the individual who sent this report.

 

Common Purpose in Education Leeds and Sheffield
Latest News   02/02/2010
A kind member of the public has posted:

Dear Wise People,

A puzzler has come to light.

Whilst looking at Leeds:-
There was a synergy between the failing educational standards at Leeds ( as confirmed by Ofsted today ) and the people involved with the set-up of the failing structure, the over-riding system structure, and the personnel in Sheffield, among other places. There was a common thread throughout these - Common Purpose, as they appear throughout. However, because CP is not of direct personal concern, I am somewhat out of my depth here. The initiator was the fact that CP graduate Sonia Sharp was involved with the structure creation in Leeds, whilst at the same tie promoting CP activities such as Your Turn. Now the same problems are occurring in Sheffield, where she currently presides. A School Federation was formed in Leeds in 2005, Sonia Sharp was the Deputy Chief Executive of Education Leeds up until shortly before. The Federation's website can be found at www.cllf.co.uk. What caused concern were the references to leadership, authority, networks, and nulabor policy. A worrying issue was that the most vulnerable sections of our children were being segregated and then, by dint of governance changes, put almost outside of the purview of the local authorities, under the guise of the Every Child Matters nulabor project. Here is the consequent search: Click here

This however is the far more intriguing search: Click here

A most interesting list of associated names is available at: http://www.integralleadership.com/members/includes/functions/phptoexcel/php_excel.php?choice=People The XLS file is attached for convenience. What is of interest here is that Sonia Sharp set up the structure in Leeds, then drafted in Liz Talmadge from Sheffield, then Sonia Sharp came to Sheffield, via Rotherham. Current investigations in Sheffield concerning a variety of matters are exposing CP-related fraud and corruption and curious things with the Your Turn project. I will leave it to you to follow your own leads on this, but what I see is that CP is being used as a government agent for the supply of 'suitable' personnel whose real function is to deliver on an otherwise unpublished agenda. CP graduates can be used to play 'musical chairs' with power-posts and be parachuted in where it suits CP and nulabor. See also: note 'inner city', i.e. vulnerable http://www.commissioningsupport.org.uk/resource_bank/14-19.aspx?page=2   Next Practice in System Leadership – Central Leeds Learning Federation (37 KB) The Central Leeds Learning Federation was established in September 2005 in a move to address significant and persistent levels of educational underachievement, disadvantage and low expectations amongst students attending two inner city high schools.

Common Purpose UK - Liverpool using another Paedophile

Latest News   02/02/2010

Liverpool City Council

Read the answers carefully: there was no tendering process (CP is so unique that it does not have to compete), names of 15 people trained is not given, there is no evidence of a tangible benefit to the public following expenditure of public money, the CP training deals with change (what change), it also includes Whitehall and Brussels (this must be political). Please also be aware that CP Merseyside Advisory Board has been 'hosting' a paedophile Matthew Byrne. A man CP would describe as a 'future leader'. Are there some questions we should be asking about the expenditure of public money in Liverpool and elsewhere?

Re: Freedom of Information Request 85201

I refer to your request for information dated 27 November. Your request has been dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Please find below the response to your enquiry: 1. Is Common Purpose given any free accommodation or services by the council? If so: 1a. What services/accommodation? 1b. When did the provision of these services/accommodation start? 1c. How much does Common Purpose pay for these services/accommodation? 1d. Who first authorised the provision of these services/accommodation? 1e. What are the actual and perceived benefits to the tax-payer of these services/accommodation? Liverpool City Council (LCC) staff only attended already organised training sessions. LCC did not organise training on behalf of Common Purpose (CP), therefore we cannot provide the information you have requested as we do not hold it.

2. Has the council paid for any Common Purpose courses? If so: Yes fifteen courses since 2006. 2a. Who has been on these courses? Fifteen senior managers have attended relevant Common Purpose courses depending on their individual development requirements 2b. What do the individual courses cost? The prices vary from £1116.25 - £4964.38 depending on the length of the course and whether it is a residential course. 2c. Where are these courses held? The venues vary from Liverpool based venues to venues just outside of London and also including days in Whitehall and Brussels 2d. Why does the council spend tax payers' money on these courses? This is not an FOI question, however under section 16 of the FOI Act we have a duty to advice and assist as a local authority as much we can. The courses are specialist courses that combine public, private sector and not-for-profit sectors. The courses promote leaders working together from different organisations and focus on developing leadership capability, identifying networking, best practice and partnership opportunities and working with others to lead complex change in partnership for the benefits of the community. 2e. What are the actual and perceived benefits to the tax-payer of these courses? See the response above. 2f. What is the course syllabus? The course syllabus varies as they are a number of different courses ranging from the Matrix Programme, Navigator Programme, City Leaders programme and 20/20 programme. 2g. Can you obtain copies of any course notes or documentation? Yes 2h. Why are the people who attend these courses are so secretive about what happens on these courses? This is not an FOI question, however under section 16 of the FOI Act we have a duty to advice and assist as a local authority as much we can. There is no evidence that people are secretive about what happens on these courses. 2i. What sort of tendering process is involved when these contracts for courses are given to Common Purpose? Are other training companies allowed to compete to provide leadership training courses? No tendering process was used as the Company was picked due to the specialist type of training it provides 2j. What assessments/results of the courses are put into writing? The course is not accredited therefore no formal assessments take place 2k. These courses are very expensive. Do they represent value for money? The chosen provider is a non profit making organization and therefore does not generate additional income for the provision of this course to the organization.　 This concludes the response to your request for information. The City Council will consider appeals, referrals or complaints in respect of your Freedom of Information Act 2000 request under the Have Your Say Scheme.　 You can either complete a form on-line at our website http://www.liverpool.gov.uk/Feedback/Have_your_say/index.asp  or you can complete a form at any One Stop Shop or Library.　 Alternatively, you can write to us at Liverpool Direct, Freepost, NWW 3400A, Liverpool L1 3ZZ.　 Your complaint/appeal/referral will be investigated by a senior officer within twenty eight days.

Thank you to the person / persons who informed me that Mr Matthew Byrne of the Merseyside Common Purpose Advisory Board has appeared in court on paedophile type charges. 32 allegations and over 8,000 images of children, as well as other lewd acts.

According to Common Purpose Mr Byrne is a \\\'Leader in Society\\\'. He had access to young vulnerable people.

What CRB checks were carried out on this man? Why has his connection to Common Purpose not been reported? What secret meetings did this man have under Chatham House rules with other members of the Common Purpose Merseyside Advisory Board, and what was discussed?

No doubt the public will be interested to know that the same CP Advisory Board contained \\\'leaders\\\' of JP status and CEO of a hospital. We have also received reports alleging that Mr Byrne has been photographed with David Cameron MP Tory Leader.

A hostile view. There is nothing with that.
