Bruce Gyngell

Bruce Gyngell was a right-wing Australian media executive who is best known in the UK for having headed the ITV breakfast franchise TV-am in the mid to late 1980s. Gyngell was appointed at the insistence of the Australian media tycoon Kerry Packer who invested £1m in the failing company. David Keighley, 'OBITUARY: BRUCE GYNGELL', Independent, 9 September 2000 
Gyngell was 'an outspoken believer in market forces' and became 'Margaret Thatcher's favourite broadcasting executive'. Maggie Brown, 'Obituary: Bruce Gyngell. Maverick television chief who invented the breakfast television sofa and remained Australia's golden media boy for half a century', Guardian, 9 September 2000 When Thatcher complained about ITV being the 'last bastion of restrictive practices,' Gyngell entered into an industrial dispute with his technicians, which resulting in the sacking of over 200 staff. Maggie Brown, 'Obituary: Bruce Gyngell. Maverick television chief who invented the breakfast television sofa and remained Australia's golden media boy for half a century', Guardian, 9 September 2000 The Chicago based Museum of Broadcasting Communications gives the following account of the dispute:
The controversy surrounding Gyngell deepened when in 1987 he took on the broadcasting unions in much the same manner as his compatriot, Rupert Murdoch, had challenged the print unions. Needing to trim the coast of his regional studios, Gyngell wanted to replace workers with automated studios. The unions went on strike and for many months Gyngell and other managers ran the service, replacing local programming with a high dose of repeat imported programs. Gyngell eventually broke the strike by installing automated equipment and recruiting new, untrained staff whom he trained quickly, winning in the process a Department of Industry Award for innovations in staff development. The Museum of Broadcasting Communications, Encyclopedia of TV: Gyngell, Bruce by Elizabeth Jacka [Accessed 18 December 2009]
According to Andrew Davidson, author of Under the Hammer - Greed and Glory Inside the Television Business, Gyngell's ruthlessness impressed Margaret Thatcher, and the two met in autumn 1988 and October 1989 to discuss government broadcasting policy. Andrew Davidson, 'Breakfast at Sunset', Independent, 22 November 1992 Gyngell also become friendly with Brian Griffiths, head of Thatcher's economic think-tank, who was co-ordinating the Government's strategy on broadcasting reform. In 1988 Griffiths invited Gyngell to chair his charity, Cities in Schools and from then on its board met monthly in TV-am's offices. Andrew Davidson, 'Breakfast at Sunset', Independent, 22 November 1992

Bruce Pattullo

Sir Bruce Pattullo is former Governor of the Bank of Scotland, retiring in 1998 after 37 years service .
In 1997, Sir Bruce became embroiled in the proposed devolution plans of the new Labour government. Though he did not feel it was his place to comment on the rights or wrongs of the principle of home rule, he was opposed to the proposal to give the Scottish Parliament tax raising powers of 3%, dubbed the "tartan tax". Sir Bruce felt that this would be bad for business and make Scotland uncompetitive . 
In the end the comments of Pattullo and other objectors to home rule were irrelevant when the Scottish people voted yes-yes to the two questions of the referendum .

Riedel was appointed by US President Barak Obama to chair a review of Afghanistan and Pakistan policy, which was completed in March 2009.
On 1 December 2009, the day before Barak Obama's announcement of a 30,000 'surge' of US troops, Riedel was interviewed on BBC Radio 4's PM programme. Asked by presenter Eddie Mair about the wisdom of announcing a time frame for US withdrawal, Riedel replied:
Well he’s announcing some kind of exit strategy because that’s the only way he can sell this to his fellow democrats on Capital Hill. War weariness has now reached this side of the Atlantic as well and especially his own political party. He has to show them that he has a plan on how to get out but the more specific he is about a date the more that sends a message to every Afghan, and every Pakistani General, that the Americans aren’t here to stay, that its only a matter of time before they leave, and that is a very self-destructive message to send because it undermines the effectiveness of what we are trying to do.

It has stated that its aim is to 'bring together those from across Europe and North America' who oppose a federalist EU,'so that Baroness Thatcher's vision of a free trading, decentralised, deregulated and democratic Europe of nation-states' can be realised (text no longer on its website).
==Support for Brexit==
The Bruges Group supports Brexit.
It says it is 'spearheading the intellectual battle against European integration, EU federalism, centralisation and enlargement', as well as 'promoting the positive alternatives to membership of the EU and the need to restore British sovereignty and democracy.' 
It has also long supported 'fundamental reform'of the Common Agricultural Policy, the Common Fisheries Policy, European Court and European Parliament, arguing that there has been no popular agreement to the huge transfer of power, which has already taken place from the people of Britain to Brussels.About, The Bruges Group, accessed 15 April 2011

Brussels Counterjihad Conference 2012

350px|thumb|right|Counterjihad Brussels Conference 2012, screengrab from http://gatesofvienna.net/2012/07/slouching-towards-brussels-redux/
The Brussels Counterjihad Conference was held on 9 July 2012 in the Altiero Spinelli building of the European Parliament.Slouching Towards Brusells Redux, Gates of Vienna, 15 July 2012
It was billed as an 'International conference for free speech & human rights' and sponsored by the International Civil Liberties Alliance.
Leaders of the counterjihad movement had also met in the city five years before for Counterjihad Brussels 2007.
Participants issued the so-called Brussels Declaration, which according to one of its advocates is 'a resolution designed to stand in contrast to the 1990 Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam' and designed to present 'our politicians and their media cheerleaders with the stark facts — that Islamic law violates the central precepts of both individual liberty and human rights as the West understands them' in order 'to shine a light on the betrayal of our nations by the elites who govern them.' 
An initiative called the Brussels Process was also launched 'as a counterpoint to the Istanbul Process', which has been launches to combat religious intolerance in 2011 by the Organization of the Islamic Conference OIC).
==People==
According to the blogger Fjordman, representatives of 18 countries, the majority from Europe but also including the participation of Coptic Christians from Egypt, attended.Inside the Brussels Conference on Free Speech and Human Rights - part 1, FrontPage Magazine, 30 July 2012 He also claimed that 'more people attended this meeting than any other since the previous Brussels meeting in 2007'.
