Increasingly "common" link found among those in positions of power and responsible for failures... coincidence or on "purpose"...!?

By blurring the boundaries between people, professions, public and private sectors, responsibility and accountability, Common Purpose encourages “graduates” to believe that as new selected leaders, they can work together, outside of the established political and social structures, to achieve a paradigm shift or CHANGE - so called “Leading Beyond Authority”. In doing so, the allegiance of the individual becomes ‘re-framed’ on CP colleagues and their NETWORK. Is it any wonder the local authority is "not fit for purpose" in the latest official report?



The Rotherham Common Purpose Effect

The ongoing scandal concerning the industrial scale of abuse of young children in Rotherham provided us with an opportunity to bring into sharp public focus any networks of Common Purpose operatives found within the strategic partnerships made up of various public sector organisations in Rotherham and the wider geographical area.


The remainder of the Jay report is equally damning. For 16 years, not only did the police and social services turn a blind eye, sometimes the police even harassed those who were whistleblowers.

With two Common Purpose graduates involved with Community Cohesion in Rotherham would we be cynical to believe that the ‘race card’ has been deliberately deployed in order to deflect attention from the true systemic problem which appears to revolve around the Common Purpose controlled local networks?

Common Purpose Paedophiles

What would the following historical cases of Frank Sheenan, James Rennie and Mathew Byrne suggest to the hypothetical reasonable man on the Clapham Omnibus?

Frank Sheenan: In 2008 Chief Fire Officer for West Midlands Fire Service resigned from his post with immediate effect. He had been arrested on suspicion of making indecent images of children. In 2009 Frank Sheenan received a formal caution and was placed on the Sex Offenders’ Register for two years after the Crown Prosecution Service deemed it was ‘not in the public interest’ to charge him. Frank Sheehan was a Common Purpose 20:20 graduate 1998

James Rennie was the successful chief executive of LGBT Youth Scotland, an organisation dedicated to helping young gay people. A former secondary school teacher, he regularly spoke out in public on gay issues, particularly how they affected young people. But the High Court in Edinburgh heard he was “polluted by deviant compulsion”. He was charged and ultimately convicted of molesting a child over a number of years, starting at the age of three months. Rennie was a Common Purpose Matrix Graduate 2003.

Mathew Byrne, a Children’s charity boss, admitted a string of sadistic sex attacks on prostitutes in a ‘torture chamber bedroom’ in 2010. He made his victims dress up as young schoolgirls before carrying out horrific sex assaults on them at his Wirral home. Byrne also admitted four charges of making indecent images of children. In 2008 the charity boss featured in Liverpool: Sung & Unsung - a collection of photographs featuring “individuals that best represent the city” and “make decisions which affect the whole city”. He was one of 86 leading lights in the book and appeared alongside then Merseyside Police chief constable Bernard Hogan Howe, comedian Ken Dodd and Archbishop Patrick Kelly. Byrne was a Common Purpose Advisory Group member and helped select other individuals as suitable for Common Purpose training.

In the adjoining Greater Manchester area, Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy and two detectives have recently been served with criminal and gross misconduct notices by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC). The claims against Fahy relate to his alleged support to an allegedly poorly-handled investigation into a suspected sex offender. A detective superintendent and a detective chief inspector have also been served with criminal and gross misconduct notices for their roles in the investigation. Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney, has been served with a gross misconduct notice over allegations GMP secretly disposed of the human remains of Harold Shipman’s victims.

It is no surprise to learn that Peter Fahy has appeared in a Common Purpose promotional video “What makes for successful collaboration?” He is also a member of UNCIVPOL- United Nations Civilian Police.

Can the involvement of Common Purpose Graduates in the Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust case, the Leveson Inquiry and their presence in the networked strategic partnerships which failed to protect vulnerable children in Rotherham be simply explained as coincidental?

Does nobody think this is a strange coincidence...?
