[…] No less than one of the creators of New Labour. Ms Hobsbawn, for many years a PR business partner of Sarah Macauley, the wife of Chancellor Gordon Brown, was one of the key figures in promoting the political project now so universally respected for its adherence to transparency, accuracy and straight dealing with journalists.

A Bilderberg Press Release I don’t think I’ve ever published a press release before, but this is unmistakably a press release from last year’s Bilderberg meeting.(1) There is the occasional oddity in this, possibly caused by e-mail transmission, which I’ve highlighted, and I’ve arranged the participants by country, rather than alphabetically as in the original. … Read more
[…] debacle, not to mention the last decade’s inflation of the housing market and the vast personal debt in this country. (And, unless something is done – by Brown and Darling; you think? – we will get more of the same.) Reduce local state control of the environment and you get Tesco, Sainsbury and Walmart […]

As Davies points out, since 1979, ‘no British government has been elected without the support of Rupert Murdoch….Thatcher, Major, Blair and Brown have consistently cleared their diaries and welcomed him to the inner sanctum of their governments (and then disclosed as little as possible of what passed between […]
[PDF file]: […] what the bankers call a reverse takeover. The scale is mindblowing. RBS’s £2 trillion of liabilities dwarfs not only the government reserves but the entire UK economy.
