Patrick Robertson

Biographical Information
From 1996: "Patrick Robertson, personal PR to Goldsmith. Age 27. Boy wonder founder of the Bruges Group (hon. pres. - M. Thatcher) which he ran from his college rooms at Oxford. But its big-name supporters resigned and withdrew funding after a series of blunders and acrimony over the group's money.

"Later advised Neil Hamilton to ride out allegations of improper hospitality from Mohammed al-Fayed; Hamilton did and Major sacked him. Then wrote confidential memo to Jonathan Aitken suggesting that one more embarrassment could finish his career - and then promptly faxed it to a TV producer by mistake. Now a director of Taskforce Communications, which handled PR for wedding of Imran Khan and Jemima Goldsmith."
