Talk:Demos (UK think tank)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Connected with US think-tank of same name?

I wonder if the UK organisation is connected with its US namesake in any way? --CharlesC 21:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

no connection - I used to work at the UK organisation. -- Paulmiller 16:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marxist?

How did it get from Marxist-Communist in 1993 to "close to the Labour Party" in 1997? —Ashley Y 02:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

No EU - Common Purpose Government Infiltrators at Google Video is a presentation given by former British naval officer and submarine warfare expert Brian Gerrish. The presentation was given on September 15, 2007 in Leicester and was hosted by MEP Roger Helmer of the Freedom Association. The meeting was organized by the Campaign for an Independent Britain. This is pretty chilling stuff and should give grounds for a subsequent article on Common Purpose and probably more. __meco 08:13, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
