Common Purpose 'leadership charity' at the BBC
Tony Gosling | 26.11.2008 00:41 | Analysis | Other Press
Scoop? Hardly, but here's an interesting list of BBC Common Purpose graduates which was sent to me anonymously. It shows, if genuine, that Common Purpose has been targeting the BBC quite specifically, as I'm sure most organisations won't have such a high proportion of Common Purpose graduates. Most of these people will probably be entirely unaware of the criticism the likes of Ex-Royal Naval officer Brian Gerrish have been levelling at the charity. See if you recognise on-air staff from your BBC region.

Haven't all the conspiracy theories about Common Purpose been pretty clearly debunked?
"Oh - but they're a secretive organisation..." Yeah, one that's *so* secretive it publishes its financial accounts online and gets mentioned in the press several times a month.
So, what, the BBC decides to send some of its staff on a (possibly overpriced) leadership course that makes them spend time with people from other organisations and the public sector. Might be useful to get them out of media-land for a bit.
Just visited their site and apparently Common Purpose have been training asylum-seekers in Camden to better argue their case with the local authority. Can see why that might wind the BNP up.

Gerrish distances himself quite rightly from any association with the BNP.
But he can't tell them how to review his talks.
The BNPs tactic is to attempt to co-opt almost ANY progressive critiques as it's own.
As you should know.
