My younger daughter's godmother ran the Common Purpose group in the 
Midlands for a while.  I'm sometimes happy to believe in the deep cover 
mole penetration subversion theory of history, but if she's a threat to 
our precious bodily fluids then I'm the centre-forward for a Premiership 
football team.   And I don't think she's a `useful idiot', unknowing 
pawn of the secret conspiracy, either.

Common Purpose is an upper middle class version of Rotary. The few I 
know who have had dealings with it tend to be a bit religious in a nice 
way: the sort of people whose Methodism causes them to become Labour or 
LibDem councillors, and who can use the phrase ``putting something 
back'' without making me throw up.  Yes, it's probable that solicitor 
Common Purpose member X may put some business to accountant Common 
Purpose member Y, but in that sense it's no more a threat to our 
national polity than an NCT-run bumps and babies group in the suburbs.
