If there's any truth in the article at all (and my personal experience suggests that there is at least some) then it strongly suggests that there's a pressing need for CP and their methods to be brought under closer scrutiny, along with all similar organisations.
Here's what Christopher Story wrote in 2006 (and don't miss the video links down at the bottom for further research):

It transpires that the ramshackle Office of the Deputy Prime Minister employs a certain female revolutionary operative as Head of Personnel Selection, named Mrs Julia Middleton. But that is just her cover job. Middleton's real focus is as so-called Founder and Chief Executive of a vast networking organisation calling itself 'Common Purpose' – a responsibility that she somehow manages to combine with her official rôle as a senior civil servant paid by the taxpayer.

An expert in psychological manipulative techniques used by corrupt intelligence agencies has identified the agenda of this subversive organisation as neurological linguistic control, which means that it specialises in mind control and brainwashing. The technique used is akin to that employed by a parallel, but older, offensive, named Moral Rearmament (or MRA). What that old, well-funded operation does is to seek to strip its targets of all loyalties, the established neuro-control technique, by indoctrinating them into confessing all past 'sins' to the collective. The consequence, of course, is that many victims become blackmailable, and may therefore be less resistant to the next evil step – demands for money, which aim to deprive the victim of his or her independence and to strap them permanently to the organisation. In other words, the standard Tavistock-originated cult indoctrination techniques are used.
In the case of 'Common Purpose', its huge neurological linguistic control offensive is directed at sweeping all resident notions from the victim's mind and psyche, and replacing them with 'slides' , or the 'politically correct' notions that the control manipulators seek to impose. As a component of the brainwashing that takes place at 'Common Purpose's' fake 'educational' sessions, which are held all over Britain, the following cynical routine is employed in one way or another: first of all, a predetermined 'consensus' line is promulgated before the group; secondly, notions which conflict with the predetermined 'consensus' are dismissively, and perhaps rudely, debunked. In the event that anyone voices 'dissenting' views, they are sharply and insultingly criticised, à la Cultural Revolution, and made to look foolish in front of their peers. This is standard practice.
Thirdly, 'lines' are unveiled for all present to accept without question – preconceived 'slides' which are always so reasonable that no-one could dare object to them; and anyone who does, is forthwith labelled ('type-cast as') an 'extremist'.
The sophisticated revolutionaries concerned maintain a large vocabulary of prejorative epithets which can be directed at 'non-conformers'. For instance, your correspondent attended an event at the International Monetary Fund/World Bank Annual Meetings held in Prague in 2000, which was addressed by the former President of Ireland, an unbelievably unpleasant woman called Mrs Mary Robinson. For some reason, she was sounding off all about the 'Roma' (gypsies) – listing their problems, how they were ostracised from society, and how society owed them a better deal. Your correspondent pointed out that experience in Britain with these people was that no matter what services were provided for them, they invariably failed to 'clean up their act'. If a field gate is left open, they are liable to enter the field and to squat there indefinitely: so field gates have to be padlocked against that eventuality.
Mrs Robinson, whose politics seemed so far to the Left that she was 'off the chart', failed to answer the question put to her and resorted instead to clichéd verbal abuse, saying that the Editor was 'finger-pointing', 'demonising' and 'type-casting'.

The idea that Common Purpose uses politically correct brainwashing as a methodology is an idea which has been offered support by the research of others such as former Naval Officer Lt Cdr Brian Gerrish. You can see Lt Cdr Gerrish's most recent very informative lecture here (dark red tie), or there's a video of an earlier event here (yellow tie).
