'Common Purpose' - The Shadowy organisation attempting to restrict freedom of the press [Leveson / Jimmy Saville, Sir David Bell & Gerry Mccann]

THE BBC’s false and despicable claim that Lord Alistair McAlpine was a child sex monster could not have come at a worse time for Sir Brian Leveson.
The smear, fed to the Beeb by the grandly-named Bureau of Investigative Journalism, has damaged the BBC’s reputation.
But it has also put a question mark over the long-awaited inquiry on newspaper culture, ethics and practices to which Sir Brian is putting finishing touches.
For it exposes not just the BBC’s own crass errors, but a link between the untrue story, the organisation that peddled it and an influential figure at the heart of the Leveson Inquiry.
Sir David Bell is the most senior member of the six-strong panel appointed to assist the inquiry.
Sir David also has ties with a group of organisations whose aim appears to be to shackle the freedom of the press.
He is a trustee and ex-chairman of influential Common Purpose, a charity which charges £5,000 a time to train rising stars in the police, Whitehall and BBC.
The organisation is backed by big money and, says one observer, is obsessed with what it sees as “the irresponsibility and excessive power of the media”.
Two others on the panel advising Sir Brian Leveson have links with it.
Sir David is also a key player on the Media Standards Trust — set up by supporters of Common Purpose to encourage media “transparency and accountability”.
The Trust was embarrassed recently after awarding its biggest prize to a journalist who was caught stealing his material.
It spawned the Hacked Off campaign, fronted by Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and fetish orgy fan Max Mosley and dedicated to statutory control of the press.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism — where Sir David is also a trustee — has blown a hole in his strategy.
The BIJ was billed as the “gold standard” of investigative journalism.
The McAlpine fiasco has left it dead in the water, its inflated reputation destroyed and two of its leading figures looking for work.
More worryingly, its activities cast doubt on the quality of advice on offer to Lord Leveson.
Sir David Bell was present throughout the months-long inquiry and spent many hours at the judge’s side between sessions.
Sir Brian Leveson is one of Britain’s most respected judges, welcomed by editors and proprietors to scrutinise the industry’s practices.
The same cannot necessarily be said of the assorted experts appointed to advise him.
None have any direct experience of tabloid newspapers.
We now know some are actively hostile towards them.

This was written on The British Democracy forum by retired solicitor, Tony Bennett (who is one of the thorns in the McCanns' side) from the Madeleine Foundation.

"Don't see the connections?

Let's make a start.

Let's look at the charity called Common Purpose and then let's look at the private trust (pretendig to be a charity), the Find Madeleine Fund Trust, which seems to have spent most of its money so far (given by a generous if gullible public) on a dodgy Spanish private detective agency, Metodo 3, which has links to major drug-running and money laundering operations.

OK, so the connections?

1. Both Common Purpose and the Find Madeleine Fund Trust use Haysmacintyre as their auditors.

2. Both Common Purpose and the Find Madeleine Fund Trust claim to operate by a code of practice known as the 'Guide to Good Governance'.

3. Neither Common Purpose nor the Find Madeleine Fund Trust follow this policy document (the 'Guide to Good Governance') in practice but they both claim to adhere to it.

More about the Common Purpose links of the McCanns and their advisers and supporters on another occasion..."

Beyond Authority, the book written by Common Purpose and Media Standard Trust founder Julia Middleton setting out her leadership ethos, contains several instructive passages about the 'long games' and other strategies she advocates for success.
In a chapter which begins 'So what of conspiring? The "dark arts"?', Middleton quotes approvingly and at length one Doug Miller.
He tells her: 'You start with clear and defined objectives … Then you establish what the obstacles are … they are usually people. So you have to establish what motivates them, and then decide if you can win them over by the power of the idea …

'Sometimes, if it gets messy, you might have to run over them, undermine them, go around them or discredit them. As a last resort, you consider bullying them, or buying them off.'
