I read in the Wall Street Journal this morning that the UK Charity Commission has "scolded" the charity 'Atlantic Bridge' for what it deems to be work which is politically based with a Conservative Party bias.
The charity has been running since 2003 and was established by Tory minister Liam Fox in 1997. Amongst other British politicians, it ranks George Osborne, Michael Gove and William Hague on its advisory council and has been reprimanded by the Charity Commission for "engaging in inappropriate political activity".

The charity was set up to apparently foster stronger relations between British and American politicians and has used Margaret Thatcher's credibility as the sales pitch to improve the 'special relationship' between Britain and America. David Cameron recently on tour in America referred to too much emphasis being placed on this so called special relationship so I presume he was aware of the Charity Commission's ruling when he said that, else why say it.
But this is minor surely compared to another charity set up by ex-govt head of staff Julia Middleton to promote 'Leadership beyond authority' through Common Purpose. Common Purpose obviously has links to many political organisations yet has not been reproached by the Charity Commission, when plainly its projects are based on Communism, Marxism or what we now call Communitarianism for instance in its promotion of the European Union along with the ideals of a post-democratic era.
There is much written about Common Purpose and really you need to look it up yourselves if you're unaware of its complexity. One issue for instance is the scurrilous notion that councils and organisations like regional police authorities are actually contributing taxpayers money to it yet people are unaware and have no say in this. Secondly, it operates on the basis of secrecy and elitism, often selecting children and adults for 'training', who the 'charity' deems suitable. i.e. It isn't open to everyone it is selective.
Maybe whilst the Charity Commission is looking into the activities of other charities, it could look at this one as the first and most important area to investigate, given that there are over a million links on Google about it, and that an ex-naval commander has a file about ten feet high on its activities, which he says are Fascist, secretive and evil. It is undoubtedly an evil in our midst given the content of his files on its activities, and one could only really describe it correctly by referring to it as a fifth column.
Will Common Purpose also be investigated or is the Charity Commission signed up to Common Purpose too.
