Rotherham, Hislop, Common Purpose
The Telegraph -
Perhaps the least surprising aspect of the Rotherham childcare story is that Car Crash Commissar and Child Catcher in Chief Joyce Thacker was a member of Common Purpose.
The secretive Fabian organisation has been getting quite a bit of media attention, lately, thanks to a bravura investigation conducted by the Daily Mail. Common Purpose has been described as a Left-wing version of the Freemasons (apologies to the Freemasons who certainly don’t deserve to be bracketed in the same noisome category) and to get an idea how it operates, here’s an excerpt from the Mail piece:
‘It’s a new old boys’ network,’ he explains ‘but the Left’s version of it — and I don’t like secretive deal-making and “group think” of any kind.
‘What is interesting is that the same people appear in the same jobs, in different places, as if through a revolving door. They work for local authorities, leave, then come back as freelance “consultants” with huge, inflated fees. They are often mediocre and there is no evidence of how or why they were chosen.
‘They can leave a council with a terrible reputation yet pop up next minute as head of a regulatory body and as a trustee of numerous bodies. It is a real money-spinner.
It’s also, just like Agenda 21, a way of entrenching the ideology of the communitarian left – in the civil service, in the police, in the media (especially the BBC/Guardian) and, of course, among such local government apparatchiks as Joyce Thacker.
Given that this is all established fact rather than conspiracy theory, you might imagine that someone like Ian Hislop – what with his being the editor of Britain’s leading satirical magazine – would consider this a story of some significance. The kind of scoop, indeed, that in its early days, before it became a mouthpiece for the soft-left establishment Private Eye might have been keen to bag itself.
