Atlantic Bridge’s web presence has disappeared, as has the Charity Commission’s report on it when it had its charitable status removed. Indeed it has proved rather hard to glean information on this Fox/Werritty vehicle: it seems that William Hague was a member as were, according to Cabinet Secretary Gus O’Donell, not just Fox but the two junior defence ministers Werritty met. So this shady fake charity with undisclosed finance sources really was running British foreign and defence policy.
With thanks to my informant, it appears the domain for the Atlantic Bridge website was listed to a Mr Michael Pearsall of 15 Broomfields, Longfield, Kent DA3 8BW. Now what can anybody tell me about him? The contact email for the site registration was [email protected]. Presumably that email address relates to Fox’s portfolio of health before he was switched to defence? If he didn’t make any money from his worngdoing, isn’t it strange how these business consultancies and donation seeking organisations linked to him reflected his official portfolio at the time?
So Michael Pearsall, Peter Stock and ukhealthgroup.com. Let’s get digging!!
Good catches, Johnf. Co-trustee Andrew Dunlop is also relevant:

He has deleted his “directorship” (sic) of AB from his little profile here.
Dunlop = Politics International = Interel UK

Corporate lobbyist for hire.

AB connection tenuous and denied by AB, but the general pro-US, anti-EU idea is there.

^ Spam, I think.
Is this why Cameron has been shuffling uneasily, failing to launch a proper enquiry and looking uneasily over his shoulder at friend George?
