As I have written previously, HSBC director Rona Fairhead, who was corruptly appointed to BBC Trust Chair, attended the highly secretive meeting of the great and good, the Bilderberg Conference this year. She was listed by Bilderberg as “Chairman, BBC Trust”.
Campaigner for financial reform Joel Benjamin made a Freedom of Information request to the BBC asking for details of Fairhead’s attendance, and received the response that she was not there on BBC business and BBC business was not discussed (the meetings are private so how do they know that?):
Andrew Neil obviously didn’t know this – here he is announcing her attendance:

It is worth looking more closely at the relationship between Bilderberg, HSBC and the BBC.
Marcus Agius, Chairman of Barclays and the British Banker’s Association also sat on the Executive Board of the BBC. Since 2011 he has been a trustee of registered charity Bilderberg Association.
However, Agius is silent about this position on his published BBC biography:
The contact address given for the Bilderberg Association of 2 St James’s Place is the business address of Simon Robertson Associates LLP. Simon Robertson is Deputy Chairman of HSBC and a major Tory party donor:
So, we have 2 BBC executives employed by Barclays and HSBC connected with Bilderberg which is registered at the address of the Deputy Chair of HSBC. Is it any wonder that the BBC don’t report £1bn fraud by HSBC?
