Former Conservative has been picked by Britain in Europe to chair the lobby group in its battle against public scepticism about the new European Union constitution.
Anthony Nelson, formerly Tory MP for Chichester is an investment banker. Mr Nelson’s appointment coincides with several other board changes at Britain in Europe.
Lord Hollick, the Labour peer and chief executive of United Business Media; Adair Turner, the former head of the CBI employers’ body; and Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP, the marketing services group; have stepped down from the board. They have been replaced by Sir Gulam Noon, the Labour donor and founder of Noon Products, the ready-made curry supplier; Roland Rudd, the founder of the public relations company Finsbury; Mr Patten and Neil Kinnock, Labour’s former leader.
Mr Nelson, who said his job would be to persuade voters that the constitution protected Britain’s interests has already shown the sort of person he is, after all he only waited until three days before the last election before defecting to Labour at the most damaging time he could have chosen for the party that had supported him for the previous 23 years.
Let us also just have another quick look at the people who he is sharing a platform with:
Sir Gulam Noon, the Labour donor and founder of Noon Products,
Roland Rudd, the founder of the public relations company Finsbury;
Mr Patten: rejected as an MP by the good people of Bath and since has had one plum job after another at the taxpayers expense EX EU Commissioner who was in charge of Aid and sent millions of our money to support terrorism in Palestine and in receipt of a really nice pension from the EU.
Neil Kinnock: of the Kinnock Euro dynasty, rejected twice by the British people as PM, ex EU Commissioner in charge of eradicating EU fraud a job he ably which he fulfilled by sacking anyone who actually found some. Also in receipt of a really nice pension from the EU which he can keep for as long as he does nothing to upset his paymasters.

Obviously a body of well meaning ordinary people who have the best interests of the ordinary people of Britain at heart, with not vested a interest between them or even a conflict of interest to cloud their judgment on what is best for Britain.
