Former BBC journalist calls Bilderbergers "gangsters"

14/07/2010

A former BBC journalist has dubbed Bilderberg attendees "gangsters" in a scathing attack of the group.

Tony Gosling, formerly of Greater London Radio and creator of the website bilderberg.org has also questioned how democratic the group is, and criticised politicians who attend.

Mr Gosling said:  "Last time I looked we were supposed to be living in a democracy, and I would point the finger at any politician who attends these meetings, as Kenneth Clarke, the Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary, has done many times."

Mr Clarke is the UK's representative on the steering committee, who are widely believed to be more powerful than the attendees themselves, as they're responsible for setting agenda items and the attendees list.

Mr Gosling added:  "They should be totally open about what they're doing and what ideas they're taking on board from the meetings, about close personal associations, but most importantly they have to tell the public 'I've attended a secret meeting…and it all has to be totally above board.'"

"These people are working in secret with some of our elected officials in order to serve themselves and make themselves more wealthy."

Mr Gosling also criticised Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg saying:  "He's exactly the sort of person Bilderberg love, the sort of person who'll bend over and do what he's told."

Bilderberg says that "no resolutions are proposed, no votes taken and no policy statements issued."
