Common Corruption with Purpose
Below is given a redacted form of a formal audit into a council.Whilst the report may seek a damage limitation outcome, the findings are adevastating indictment of a corrupt and fake charity working within corruptcouncils using corrupt personnel as part of nulabor’s change agenda.Because the formal audit looked solely at the council’s procedures, it is whatis not reported that is equally important:-Common Purpose selected the applicants for training, and even then onthe basis on their value to Common Purpose, not the ratepayer who wasfunding the alleged training.-There were no prior declarations of interest among the local authorityofficers who dealt with both the training arrangements and the FoIrequests, and who were also ‘graduates’ of Common Purpose.-Both Common Purpose and graduates of Common Purpose who werelocal authority officers worked together in a futile attempt to unlawfullyfrustrate the FoIA, and also in doing so embarked upon a nationalcampaign of defamation, slander and libel against requesters, and indoing so unlawfully releasing their personal details nationally, for whichCommon Purpose has been rebuked by the Information Commissioner -Decisions were being made that had financial impact upon the ratepayeusing mechanisms that bypassed the local democratic processes, thestatutory requirements, and mandatory scrutiny.There is much more that could be said not only with this case, but also aboutCommon Purpose exercising power beyond legal authority within other localauthorities, institutions, Eurofunding organizations, Quangos andGovernment Departments. Even the press is tainted by Common Purpose.Whilst the example below is but one example, the association of CommonPurpose with ongoing fraud and corruption is actually ubiquitous throughoutthe country, throughout local authorities, across sectors, geographic borders,and in the EU.Sheffield, for a long time accurately labeled the corruption capital of Europe,is riddled with the influence of Common Purpose. Regular readers have seenhow the council regularly and unlawfully shows contempt for the lawwhenever Common Purpose is involved. Frequently, it has been determinedthat when fraud and corruption were exposed, those involved wereassociated with Common Purpose. Readers have also seen what happens tothose who raise questions about Common Purpose, or council corruption, or who simply expose this criminality. They are destroyed, publicly humiliated,lied to, lied about, harassed and abused, ruthlessly and relentlessly.
 
It has already been shown how, especially where control and power mechanisms are concerned, Common Purpose is to be found, i.e. withdecision-making about money, who gets what, what for, and the blatant andillegal lack of monitoring. Elected members of Sheffield City Council havealready received a list, at Full Council, of the council-associatedorganizations that are Common Purpose influenced, and work in partnershipwith council Common Purpose graduates. Despite this, elected members arebeing denied their right to know who these people are. The ratepayers arealso being denied their rights to information.There have to be questions to ask about how it has come about that thiscorruption and Common Purpose activity has not been brought to theattention of the authorities with purview. ( Targeting of children ! )As seen in the example below, the unacceptable behavior ( note that theaudit findings would have been even harsher had the auditors been given theminutes of Common Purpose meetings – but these are supposed to besecret, as meetings are held under ‘Chatham House’ rules ) has beenongoing for years, yet not one of these incidents has ever been reportedupon by the Audit Commission. The same applies not only to Sheffield, butnationally. The question must be, Why NOT? Perhaps the answer can onlybe surmised, but a quick look at the Common Purpose graduate member listamong Audit Commission personnel, the expenditure of the AuditCommission on Common Purpose, the status of the most senior AuditCommission personnel within Common Purpose, and the defiance to publishwho their graduates are, all add up to a definitive and undeniable conclusion.Again, we must ask, why have the police NOT acted, and the CrownProsecution Service NOT prosecuted, when Eurofraud, corruption, and other criminal acts are reported to them, accompanied by objective evidence. Asabove, the answer is simple, all the institutions, such as South YorkshirePolice ( and other Constabularies ) and the CPS are themselves activesupporters and sponsors of Common Purpose. It is highly unlikely thereforethat they will embark upon any course of action against their corruptCommon Purpose colleagues within, for example, council departments, theEuropean Secretariat, local devolution mechanisms, or regional partnerships.This non-action is in turn supported by one of the most lucrative supportersof Common Purpose, the Ministry of Justice ( sic ). In their turn, those whohave acted corruptly, and / or viciously towards citizens, are amply rewardedwith jobs, status, Honours, and of course, vast amounts of money.Below is a redacted version of the formal report.After the report are sample extracts from a few of the findings of theInformation Commissioner.Yes, the absolute corruption of Sheffield City Council continues.
