... Brown's views influenced by his exposure to US policy groups and forums from the '80s onward? A separate essay would be needed to tackle this. It should be noted that Brown developed, very early on, extremely close US political connections, spent every summer in the US for many years, and by 1991 had been talent spotted by the Bilderberg Group. 39 Winter 2010 During the same period the only other figures to score regular top four positions (to use a football metaphor) were John Smith (fellow Scot), Robin Cook (fellow Scot and Brown's senior tutor at the WEA in the '70s) and Margaret Beckett (an established northern MP who had, to certain ...

... funded American Committee on a United Europe (ACUE) and its relationship with the European Movement. But it's not a very good version; a better one could be put together from resources on-line. The author is apparently unaware that the left had already covered some of this over 30 years ago.1 There is a chapter on Bilderberg, which began as an issue for the right in the 1970s and was then briefly of interest to the American left.2 But this chapter on Bilderberg tells us nothing not available on the Net and in many other books. The real point of this book are the chapters on events prior to the 1975 referendum on EEC membership. ...

... The Bilderberg Conspiracy: Inside the world's most powerful secret society H. Paul Jeffers New York: Citadel Press, 2009, $14.95 (US), p/b Colin Challen I feel cheated. Once again, a publisher's desire for an eye- catching title has led to an anticlimax. Jeffers goes out of his way to provide a balanced judgement on the Bilderberg group8 of high-ranking businessmen, politicians and others who meet annually to hold secret discussions about how the world should be run. Certainly there's enough evidence in the operation of the Bilderberg group to satisfy credulous conspiracists – the secrecy, the high security, the guest lists – but there is ...

... the International Rescue Committee (see Lobsters passim) earns him a reported annual £300,000 whereas Balls's one year at Harvard's Mossavar-Rahmani Business and Government Center is said to be unpaid. But as the defeated former MP for Morley and Outwood received a reported £88,000 golden goodbye from the British taxpayer and then attended the Bilderberg conference in June, it's safe to assume austerity will not be a worry for the household of he and his MP wife Yvette Cooper, especially after their second-home flipping antics revealed in the expenses scandal.2 Balls and Miliband have returned to their roots in many ways.
