Common Purpose Charter -
In every democracy, there is an invisible, open space.(see public sphere below) It lies between the citizen and the state. Between the immediate responsibilities facing each individual and the institutional responsibilities of the government. It is political, but not party political: a place where people come together and act for a greater good. And it is open to everyone, from every sector of society Common Purpose is concerned about a strong civil society and the need for good leaders who are in contact with each other.
WESTERN MARXISM
Civil society which the term used by Karl Marx and later popularized by Antonio Gramsci to describe the sphere of life defend by the church, schooling, the media and forms of popular culture, and other social institutions. The public sphere, as defined by Frankfurt School theorist Jurgen Habermas, Jurgen Habermas describes a set of institutions and public spaces that stood between civil society and the state and which mediated between public and private interests. What Habermas called the “bourgeois public sphere” consisted of literary salons and publications, pubs and cafes, and other spaces that made it possible to form a realm of public opinion that opposed state power and the powerful interests that were coming to shape bourgeois society. A vital public sphere is thus a key component of democracy for Habermas.

CULTURAL MARXISM
For the Italian Marxist theorist, Antonio Gramsci, the ruling intellectual and cultural forces of the era constitute a form of hegemony, or domination by ideas and cultural forms that induce consent to the rule of the leading groups in a society. Gramsci argued that the unity of prevailing groups is usually created through the state (as in the American revolution, or unification of Italy in the 19th century), the institutions of "civil society" also play a role in establishing hegemony. Civil society, in this discourse, involves institutions of the church, schooling, the media and forms of popular culture, among others. It mediates between the private sphere of personal economic interests and the family and the public authority of the state, serving as the locus of what Habermas described as "the public sphere."

E-Mail From Hull City Council Chief Executive The following e-mail was sent to me by a forum member yesterday.
The Chief Executive of Hull City Council Kim Ryley (Common Purpose advisory group member Hull & Humber) is informed on the 13th Oct the Common Purpose Hull programme director that North Lincolnshire Council had been approached for information re expenditure, in other words a freedom of information request.
If you are wondering how Common Purpose acquired this this information then you will be please to know that the ex Chief Executive of North Lincs Council Mike Hunter used to sit on Common Purpose's advisory group in Humber also.
On receipt of the e-mail from Chris Burn at Common Purpose Mr. Ryley asks his p/a to e-mail Hulls legal dept (they obviously deal with all freedom of information requests)
As you can see from the document below, the the legal team have been asked to tip Mr Ryley off as soon as they receive any freedom of information requests in relation to Common Purpose
Why ?

They know how to cover their tracksOriginally Posted by fotley
They seem to be expecting one or two requests for information - what would happen I wonder if they were deluged with requests
My New BLOG ...Good luck Mr McSmorsky
One of the reasons I left UKIP is becasue the branch that had raised a sum to fight elections instead voted to send letters and information packs to all MPs warning about the Bilderbergers.
I recall attending branch meeting where all they talked about was the Bilderbergers (and faked moon landings!)
Now the new 'conspiracy' is Common Purpose.
Step back and they sound just like the loonies going on about the Bilderbergers.
143 people have viewed the 4 linked documents in my ealier posts. It's clear from your previous posts (which basically say the same thing )that CP's activities don't concern you.
So why do you waste your time posting here then ?
