Common Purpose - the secretive organisation that runs Britain

Sir

The circumstances of Sir Ivan Rogers' departure certainly play to
stereotype of an entitled establishment' running the country.
The EU referendum has seen widespread mobilisation
in the public sector by those who wish to deny the British people their wish
to leave a failed construct, which is not fit for purpose.

However, the intransigent attitude of some senior civil servants suggests a wider
narrative. It is symptomatic of an anti-democratic sphere of influence, where
whatever the stripe of the government in power, a clandestine organisation
known as 'Common Purpose' attempts to thwart the democratic will - in
this case the triggering of Article 50 and forcing a second referendum.

The influence of Common Purpose is extensive and constant. Its common
purpose as far as Britain's EU membership is concerned is to infiltrate the
Brussels ethos into UK institutions, in order to prevent change.

Few will have heard of Common Purpose. It is a charity that selects
and trains future leaders of society. It has enormous power across the NHS,
BBC, police, church and many of Britain's 8,500 quangos.CP alumni are trained 
to lead outside elected authority and influence government policy.

Theresa May's walk in the park

Theresa May will be looking forward to her walk in the park when Sophie
Ridge interviews her on Sunday. Doesn't the viewer deserve something 
better than a young fairly inexperienced interviewer to cross-examine
the prime minister on key issues at this critical time for the country?

COMMON PURPOSE AND ITS ANTI-DEOCRATIC AIMS

The UK establishment is perhaps the most secretive in the free world.
The Times leader 'Open Justice' in a recent edition scratches only the
surface of an anti-democratic process that means that whatever the
political stripe of the government in power the influence of an
organisation known as 'Common Purpose' remains constant. Its
common purpose as far as Britain's EU membership is concerned
has been to infiltrate the Brussels ethos into UK institutions, in order
to prevent change.

Few will have even heard of 'Common Purpose'. It is a charity that selects
and trains future leaders of society and it has enormous clandestine
power across the NHS, BBC, police, church and many of Britain's
8,500 quangos. CP alumni are trained to lead outside authority and pervert
the democratic process. They are given positions of unaccountable
authority with gold-plated salaries, so long as they stay on message.
Even dangerous mistakes result not in dismissal, but only a move
sideways, or even promotion. There is a whole catalogue 
of examples,
past and present, of which your readers will be only too well aware.

Until UK governance, in all its forms, is made more transparent and
accountable, our democracy will remain something of a sham.

Commnetators are right to suggest that we may be 

approaching a tipping-point, where raising taxes 
becomes counter productive.

Evidence suggests that there is an inverse 
relationship between the tax rate and the amount 
of revenue collected. The higher the tax rate the 
lower the Government's revenue In making the 
case for lower taxes, we need only look to the 
Russian Federation, following the demise of the 
Soviet Union in 

1991. In order to invigorate a sclerotic economy, 
the introduction of a flat tax resulted in a 25% rise 
in revenue from personal income tax, followed by 
a similar increase in the second year and 15% in 
year three.

The Laffer curve predicts such an outcome, 
attributing the primary reason for increased 
revenues to higher levels of economic growth, 
stemming from the introduction of the flat tax. If 
the UK Government were to adopt this model it 

would also benefit the exchequer by increasing 
declared income and reducing bureaucracy by 
simplifying the way tax is calculated and collected.

 A flat tax would have a transformative effect on 
employers and employees alike. It would 
incentivise, generate growth, boost consumer 
confidence and raise living standards.

Lame Duck President Tells Britain What To Do

President Obama's inappropriate intervention in exerting pressure on Briton to stay in
the EU, does nothing to strengthen the case for doing so. Indeed, what would be
the response of the US if, in the unlikely event, the UK attempted to influence
its foreign policy?

A free-enterprise economy operating in an open, representative democracy
led to the rise of the United States as the pre-eminent global power. It has
underpinned the defence and economies of Western countries since the
Second World War.

These values represent everything that the EU is not. Its Commission, far
from representing the will of the people, represents an unelected and
unaccountable elite. Jean Monet, a founding father of the
EU, planned the deceit which has been visited on the peoples of Europe:
"European nations should be guided towards being a superstate, without
understanding what is happening".

The introduction of the flawed single currency, the monumentally wasteful
Common Agricultural Policy, large unaudited capital transfers to the 26
largely net recipient countries, funded by Germany and the UK (on borrowed
money), are manifestly socialist and antithetical to the free-market principles
the US has always stood for.

With 7% of the world's population, 25% of its GDP but 50% of global spending
on welfare and the unrelenting tide of immigrants, time for the EU is indeed running
out. In the absence of fundamental structural economic and political reform,
yet more quantitative easing by the ECB cannot delay for much longer the
inevitable Implosion of the entire EU project. Is this what President Obama
wants the UK locked into? We must resist President Obama's invitation to "outsize" 

our influence with the US, since it is based on the false premise of an imagined special relationship

relationship which is, in reality, its own national self-interest.

Immigration - Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics

Official figures show that in the

past year 257,000 EU immigrants

have arrived in the UK and 630,000

EU citizens have requested National

Insurance numbers.

These figures, taken together with

with the news in Times article (Feb

27) 'Blair accused of opening doors

to 2m migrants' suggests little has

changed in government obscuring 

inconvenient facts from public gaze

Notwithstanding the debatable

benefit of marginally higher GDP, the 

effects of such a massive inflow can

be seen in the NHS, housing and 

education, where scarce resources are 

being stretched to breaking point.

We are where we are but should remind 

ourselves how this situation has arisen. 

The continuing assertion that, when in office, 

Labour acted in good faith in not properly 

assessing the impact of immigration and 

of integration is contradicted by the facts. 

A publication of 2000, obtained under the 

Freedom of information Act, contained a 

secret Cabinet Office report, which 

characterised Labour's open-door 

immigration policy as a deliberate attempt 

to rub the Right's nose in cultural diversity.

Current projections are that each year

immigration will add to the UK population

the equivalent of a city the size of Bristol

size of Bristol.

We must regain the ability to control our

borders.

Lagarde and Osborne's Quid Pro Quo

IMF chief, Christine Lagarde, was appointed with the strong backing of 
George Osborne and is currently under criminal investigation for fraud.
The former French finance minister and arch-EU advocate admits to
defective judgement in the past regarding the performance of the U.K.
economy. The chancellor has missed all his fiscal targets for deficit
reduction, resulting in a complete loss of confidence. Incredibly, both 
siren voices are now calling on UK voters to trust in their judgement and 
remain in the EU. Is the next phase of this seemingly quid-pro-quo 
relationship one in which the former will support the latter in any early 
career move.
