Stevenson

bits still needing attention

• • • SRU and Lexington Communications (a Labour-connected lobbyist firm started with money from Stevenson, who is a shareholder) got together an anti-BBC alliance to attack their free digital plans.***

source? Lynn's note - unable to locate Lexington Comms connection. I've added a 'ref needed' to this part of his article. Sources re SRU founding/funding are below, but it looks like the article is referring to Lexington rather than SRU in this context.

Lynn cont. Source re Stevenson co-founded SRU Reference - Hirst, C. (2002) 'Telecoms Media Technology: Why the pink queen might turn deep red'. The Independent. 28th July 2002. Accessed 27th September 2008.

Lynn cont. Co founded SRU with Peter Wallis (aka Peter York) borrowed 12,000 for start up costs - reference- PATRICK HOSKING. Profile: Master of the low profile; Dennis Stevenson's dazzling ca-reer may soon land him atop GPA. Patrick Hosking reports. The Independent. 5th September 1993. This article implies that he is a shareholder but it isn't explicit. Unable to locate any info explicitly stating him as a shareholder.

• • • Stevenson forged the deal between the Labour party and BT (Independent 27/9/96)Done. He was supposedly 'recruited' by Blair in 96 "after an approach by Peter Mandelson... who Stevenson met years ago when both were involved in youth movements." (Sunday Times 20/10/96)***Lynn's note added source from the original refs section, source is no longer available to double check content.

• • • Indeed their connections go right back to the British Youth Council.***

source? Lynn's note unable to locate source, nothing in the info sent and a quick google search didn't come up with anything. It may be that it was also mentioned in the Sunday Times article which is no longer available but I can't be sure.

The "More New Labour links" section

• • • and has provided a great deal of Mandelson connections***

clarify--not sure what this means Lynn's note unable to locate the source given. Looks like its no longer available, its not in the info sent or through a google search so unable to check for clarification.

Lynn's to do list

• I’m making good progress categorising Climate Sceptics & Think Tankers (concentrating on climate related but adding in others where I come across them) pages. There’s still a bit of work to do here. It won’t be concise, there’s likely to be some who fall through the net, but I don’t want to become too occupied chasing categories (we can always add the others as we come across them). I just need to followthe links on International Policy Network, Tech Central Station and the Heartland Institute pages then this should be finished.
• I need to read through the Scottish Widows Policy reports (re the links David sent by email 11thFeb) and add anything relevant. All the other relevant info from the other Scottish Widows links are in. Stub pages for their staff are to be created?
• I’ll have a look at Geoff Mulgan’s page for Claire.
• I still have the remaining Globalisation pages on my to do list (if they still need done) re Claire's email 14th Jan. The pages relating to the Institute for National Security Studies are now all done and collated onto one page.
• I also need to write a bit on Food Industry Friendly Experts.

Matthew Freud

page under construction - work in progress section to be worked on:

He also organised a large party for Young Labour at the World Famous Palace Discotheque in Blackpool at their 1998 Conference. Hosted by Chris Evans (one of Freud's PR clients) it cost £20,000, paid for by Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB.

Matthew Freud is one of the most powerful PR men in London. He gave Mandelson PR advice during the secret loan scandal that cost him his job. He donated the use of his West End offices to Frank Dobson's campaign for London Mayor (part of 'a long-standing arrangement with the local Party'). Dobson's supporters used the offices as a base to phone round high-profile Labour members.

He also a close friend of Task Force members Lord Alli (Freud handled the publicity for Lord Alli's Big Breakfast TV programme) and James Palumbo of the Ministry of Sound. He is also involved with clickmusic, an internet music directory set up by Robert Devereux and Alan McGee.

He co-owns expensive restaurants like Marco Pierre-White's Quo Vadis and Damian Hirst's Pharmacy. He has shares in Oxygen Holdings, an internet investment company (Elisabeth Murdoch is also an investor). He is a partner in Yoo, a property company, with Philippe Starck and John Hitchcox (one of the men behind the Millennium Loft Company). In the brochure for Yoo, he says he has played 'a significant role in redifining the PR industry...to the front-line art form of controlled media manipulation.' He sold Freud Communications in 1994 for £10 million, but stayed on in charge of the company as part of the deal. He has repeatedly said that he wants to be appointed to the House of Lords. Freud Communications' income in 1999 was £6,690,000.

HI Lynn

many thanks --Claire Robinson 15:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

stevenson

Hi Lynn

re your "bits needing attention" on Stevenson noted on yr talk page, are they still outstanding, ie do I need to go in there and try to polish off the remaining probs and maybe delete material?

thanks

--Claire Robinson 13:58, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

stevenson 2

Hi Lynn

I will try to get to Stevenson after SIRC and delete the bits we can't support. thanks for your work on this page, it was a pig.

--Claire Robinson 10:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

lists

Hi Lynn

welcome back! I don't want to jump the gun on yr CSR Europe page as know you are still working on it but if you are not planning to add info to the items in the "Members include" section, then best to format them as horizontal list, see http://www.spinprofiles.org/index.php/SpinProfiles:How_to_Format_Lists

so you would have:

ABB | Accor | Ahold

just takes up less room...

thank you----Claire Robinson 14:49, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

CSR future work

HI Lynn

I was just getting back to the remaining globalisation pages and it occurred to me that you might be intending to feature some of these firms and orgs in your work on CSR. If this is the case, cd you let me know which firms and orgs these would be, as I cd knock those off my list of pages that I need to redo, as presumably you will be researching and writing about them.

In hope...

--Claire Robinson 15:33, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

OK

Thanks Lynn, that whittles down the glob list a bit, have just added a note to myself on your talk page next to the ones that I don't have to worry about, to the effect that you will be dealing with them.

best wishes
