The Dubious Judgement of the Europhile Crowd
by Neo-GuidoThe Indy were rather chuffed with their "some of Britain's most successful and eminent business leaders"having a go at Eurosceptics in their paper this morning. A little dig into who these signatories are should wipe the smile off their faces:
- Roland Rudd – corporate lobbyist for multinational ffirms and campaigner for Britain's membership of the single currency which he still believes in.
- Richard Branson – non dom, campaigned for Britain to join the Euro and wants a single European army.
- Martin Sorrell – Chief executive of advertising agency WPP – Roland Rudd's boss who owns Rudd's Finsbury PR and implicated through a WPP affiliate of working on the PR and media relations for Robert Mugabe's 2008 Presidential campaign.
- Dame Helen Alexander – former chief executive of the Economist.
- Lord Kerr - Foreign Office and UKREP career as a diplomat who helped draft the EU constitution.
- Sir Andrew Cahn - career civil servant and worked for Lord Kinnock at the EU Commission, who infamously with his wife Glenys received more than £10million in pay, allowances and pension entitlements during their time working at the European Union in Brussels.
- Sir Nigel Sheinwald – non exec director of Shell, who brokered the 'deal in the desert' between Tony Blair and former Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
- Sir Roger Carr – Chairman of Centrica who criticises business for their "greed" while hiking energy costs. Outgoing President of the Euro loving CBI.
The usual suspects and men of dubious judgement. This lot were wrong before, why should we listen now?Neo-Guido | May 20, 2013 at 1:45 pm | Tags: EU, Spin | Categories: default | URL: http://wp.me/pvx79-B3h
