Related to pizzagate for reasons you'll see and coz Prince Andrew spoke about Pizza Express Woking viewtopic.php?f=50&t=2503

I came across Luke Johnson in this thread : 70+ MPs launch cross-party campaign against COVID passes — Big Brother Watch. viewtopic.php?f=17&p=9144#p9144 where I postulate that the 70 MPs coalition is controlled opposition for the perverts, I mean globalists at the UN.

guess who's funding the "Covid Recovery Group"...Step forward Luke Johnson, who failed to spot a £94m blackhole in Patisserie Valerie's accounts...Like most adherents of the fallacious "Great Barrington Declaration", Luke Johnson doesn't seem to care if people with pre-existing conditions and the over 65s live or die. All that matters is pizzas.
Luke Johnson (businessman) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luke_John ... sinessman)
Luke Oliver Johnson (born 2 February 1962), is a British entrepreneur. He is a former chairman of the Pizza Express chain, the Royal Society of Arts and Channel 4. He writes a weekly column for The Sunday Times. Johnson calls himself a "projector", in line with the 17th century term for a man involved in many different businesses.[2] He is the part owner and chairman of Gail's Artisan Bakery and Feng Sushi among other businesses. He is a former owner of The Ivy, Le Caprice and J Sheekey restaurants and a former part owner of Giraffe Restaurants...

Whilst at university Johnson together with fellow student Hugh Osmond (later founder of Punch Taverns) interviewed Richard Branson on his houseboat in London for the student newspaper. This gave the pair the inspiration to go into business and they began running the Era nightclub in Oxford. By the time of graduation, he and Osmond were running businesses from software to clubs.

He initially studied medicine but, like Hugh Osmond, only completed the first part of the course, graduating from Oxford University with a BA in Physiological Sciences in 1983. He began his career as a media analyst at stockbroker Grieveson Grant (subsequently Kleinwort Benson Securities).

..Former investments
In 1996 Johnson co-founded Integrated Dental Holdings, expanding it to become the UK's largest chain of dental surgeries, with over 500 dentists. The firm was sold in 2006 for over £100 million.[12] From 2004 to 2006 Johnson was director of Dollar Financial Group Inc, a US NASDAQ traded corporation with $80m EBITDA.[12] He was involved in parcel delivery and maritime commerce through Nightfreight and American Port Services.

He served as a non-executive director of Elderstreet VCT plc for ten years. Through Risk Capital Partners, Johnson was a founder, part-owner and director of recruitment business InterQuest Group plc. Risk Capital Partners is also a former investor in advertising and design group Loewy, which was sold in 2006, and formerly a part-owner of fresh fish distributor Seafood Holdings,[13] sold in 2010 for £45m in total. Risk also held a stake in car park technology provider APT controls until 2014.[14][15]

In February 2013 Johnson became an investor and shareholder in retro confectionery retailers Hope and Greenwood,[16] later selling the intellectual property of the brand to Honeycomb Project Management when Hope and Greenwood entered into administration in 2015.
Phew.. did you get all those businesses? And there are even more.. but for now, let's stick with American Port Services...

A Guardian article on Luke Johnson from 2000 : https://web.archive.org/web/20140509081 ... ternetnews
Luke Johnson, 37, is the founder of an investment trust, Intrinsic Value, and chairman of Belgo Group - the business behind high-profile London restaurants such as The Ivy, Le Caprice and the Belgo chain.

Sometimes called a "playboy millionaire", he began investing in public and private companies in 1989 after several years working as a stockbroking analyst at Kleinwort Benson. Successes to date include Topps Tiles, the UK's leading tile retailer (the shares have risen from 50p to over 250p since the company went public three years ago) and American Port Services. The London-listed group was sold for £100m to Associated British Ports in June 1998, showing a return of more than 250% on its 1995 issue price.
Associated British Ports Holdings Plc History http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company- ... c-history/
Associated British Ports Holdings Plc (ABPH) is the largest operator of seaports in the United Kingdom. The company also owns docks in the United States and provides port-related services, such as stevedoring and distribution. Created from the privatization of the former British Transport Docks Board in 1983, the company's core Associated British Ports subsidiary owns 23 ports covering much of the English and Welsh coastlines, including some of the country's most important ports, such as Southampton, Swansea, Grimsby, Cardiff, and Hull. Other docks held by the company include Barry, Ayr, Barrow, Immingham, Newport, Plymouth, Colchester, Talbot, and Whitby. Altogether, ABP's ports process more than 127 million tons of cargo per year.

The company's purchase of American Port Services (Amports), a British-owned but U.S.-based business, gave it seaport operations in California, Delaware, Georgia, and Florida. ABPH also runs a property investment and development arm, Grosvenor Waterside Group, which focuses on redevelopment efforts of the company's unused port-side properties. Other companies under the ABPH umbrella include Northern Cargo Services, a stevedoring company operating in the Port of Hull, which was acquired in 2000; Exxtor Shipping Services, acquired in 1998, based in Immingham; and Amports UK, formed from the 2000 acquisition of the Berkeley Group. ABPH also owns shares in joint ventures, including Southampton Container Terminals (49 percent) with P&O Ports; and Tilbury Container Services, jointly owned by ABP, P&O Ports, and Forth Ports. The company, which trades on the London Stock Exchange, is led by CEO Bo Lerenius. ABPH has been restructuring in order to focus on its core ports and port services operations. This has led to the sell-off of a number of operations in 2000 and 2001, including its Red Funnel ferry service and the aviation management division of Amports, as well as plans to sell off a large part of its £650 million property portfolio.

ABP engaged closely with local and central government throughout 2019 to support the Government’s preparations for leaving the European Union. As well as engaging closely with the Department for Transport, Border Delivery Group, Cabinet Office and leading government departments, ABP held regular meetings with industry and political stakeholders in EU member states and hosted a series of roadshow events for UK businesses. ABP continued to facilitate the UK Trade Resilience Forum, an ABP initiative which brought together key players from across the supply chain and relevant government departments to coordinate Brexit planning.

Paul Johnson is Luke's father https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Johnson_(writer)
Paul Bede Johnson CBE (born 2 November 1928) is an English journalist, popular historian, speechwriter, and author. Although associated with the political left in his early career, he is now a conservative popular historian.

Johnson was educated at the Jesuit independent school Stonyhurst College, and at Magdalen College, Oxford. He first came to prominence in the 1950s as a journalist writing for and later editing the New Statesman magazine. A prolific writer, Johnson has written over 40 books and contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers. His sons include the journalist Daniel Johnson, founder of Standpoint magazine, and the businessman Luke Johnson, former chairman of Channel 4.

Johnson was born in Manchester. His father, William Aloysius Johnson, was an artist and Principal of the Art School in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. At Stonyhurst College, Johnson received an education grounded in the Jesuit method,[1] which he preferred over the more secularized curriculum of Oxford. Whilst at Oxford, Johnson was tutored by the historian A. J. P. Taylor[2] and was a member of the exclusive Stubbs Society.

..Johnson was successively lead writer, deputy editor and editor of the New Statesman magazine from 1965 to 1970. He was found suspect for his attendances at the soirées of Lady Antonia Fraser, then married to a Conservative MP. There was some resistance to his appointment as New Statesman editor, not least from the writer Leonard Woolf, who objected to a Catholic filling the position, and Johnson was placed on six months' probation.

..Johnson is a critic of modernity because of what he sees as its moral relativism,[14] and finds objectionable those who use Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to justify their atheism or use it to promote biotechnological experimentation.[15] As a result, Richard Dawkins and Steven Pinker have been a target of Johnson's criticism.[16][17] As a conservative Catholic, Johnson regards liberation theology as a heresy and defends clerical celibacy, but departs from others in seeing many good reasons for ordination of women as priests...Admired by conservatives in the United States and elsewhere, he is strongly anticommunist.[19] Johnson has defended Richard Nixon[20] in the Watergate scandal, finding his cover-up considerably less heinous than Bill Clinton's perjury and Oliver North's involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair. In his Spectator column, Johnson defended his friend Jonathan Aitken,[21] has expressed admiration for General Augusto Pinochet[22] and limited admiration for General Franco

..Johnson is a Eurosceptic who played a prominent role in the 'No' campaign during the 1975 referendum on whether Britain should stay in the EC. In 2010 Johnson noted that 'you can't have a common currency without a common financial policy, and you can't have that without a common government. The three things are interconnected. So this [European integration] was entirely foreseeable. Not much careful thought and judgment goes into the EU. It's entirely run by bureaucrats.'[27]

He served on the Royal Commission on the Press (1974–77) and was a member of the Cable Authority (regulator) from 1984 to 1990.

Paul Johnson has been married since 1958 to the psychotherapist and former Labour Party parliamentary candidate Marigold Hunt, daughter of Dr. Thomas Hunt, physician to Winston Churchill, Clement Attlee, and Anthony Eden...They have three sons and a daughter: the journalist Daniel Johnson,[28] a freelance writer, editor of Standpoint magazine, and previously associate editor of The Daily Telegraph; Luke Johnson,[28] businessman and former chairman of Channel 4 Television; Sophie Johnson-Clark, an independent television executive; and Cosmo Johnson, playwright. Paul and Marigold Johnson have ten grandchildren. Marigold Johnson's sister, Sarah, an art historian, married the journalist, former diplomat and politician George Walden; their daughter, Celia Walden, is the wife of television presenter and former newspaper editor Piers Morgan

Johnson is a friend of British playwright Tom Stoppard, who dedicated his 1978 play Night and Day to him.

In 1998 it was revealed Johnson had an affair lasting eleven years with the writer Gloria Stewart.[29] Stewart went public with the affair to the newspapers after what she saw as Johnson's hypocrisy over his views on morality, religion and family values.
Yeah, I think hypocrisy is a gene that runs in that family.. or maybe a better word would be deception.

Luke Johnson strikes again, this time at Belgo's https://citywire.co.uk/new-model-advise ... os/a206674
Luke Johnson, chairman at Belgo Group, has bought 11 million shares in the chain of Belgian-style restaurants at 3p each.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgo
Belgo is a small chain of London restaurants specializing in simple Belgian cooking and Belgian beer.

There were four Belgo restaurants: Belgo Centraal (Covent Garden), Belgo Holborn, Belgo Kings Cross and Belgo Nottingham;[1] following closures announced in July 2020, only Belgo Kings Cross remains in business.

Johnson sold his interest in Belgo in 2005 to Tragus Group, now Casual Dining Group, which also owns the French-styled Café Rouge chain and the Bella Italia chain of Italian restaurants.

In July 2020 on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Causal Dining Group went into administration and it announced that Belgo would permanently close three of its four sites..

In 2013, Belgo was an official partner of Comic Relief, the British charity founded in 1985 that aims to "bring about positive and lasting change in the lives of poor and disadvantaged people".
Oh, doesn't it make you want to vomit..
Casual Dining Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casual_Dining_Group
Casual Dining Group (CDG), formerly Tragus Group, operated 250 restaurants in the United Kingdom. CDG operated restaurants primarily under the Bella Italia, Café Rouge and Las Iguanas names. It also operates sites under the Belgo, Huxleys, Oriel Grande Brasserie and La Salle brands. The company was backed by investors including KKR and Pemberton Capital Advisors...

Tragus Holdings was formed in 2002[3][4] when Whitbread sold-off 153 failing restaurants from its Pelican and BrightReasons divisions, shortly after writing their value down by £147m.[5] At the time, the two restaurant divisions comprised the Café Rouge, Bella Pasta, Mamma Amalfi, Abbaye, Leadenhall Wine Bar and Oriel brands.

A £25m[6] management buy-in by Tragus Holdings was funded by £11m from venture capitalist speculators ECI Partners.[7] Tragus Holdings was led by chief executive Finlay Scott, formerly head of the Aroma Café chain and Whitecross Dental Care. The team included Gavin Williams, managing director of Bella Pasta, and Harry Morley, former finance director of Whitecross Dental Care.

In January 2005, Tragus' directors sold the company to Legal & General Ventures for £90m-£95m.[8][9] The sale made them around £18m profit. The chairman, discredited former LSE CEO Gavin Casey, received £2m.[5] Legal & General Ventures installed a new management team which included appointing new chief executive Graham Turner (formerly managing director of the Unique Pub Company).[10]

In December 2006, Tragus was bought by Blackstone Group for £267m. By that time, the business had grown to 163 restaurants.[11] In September 2006 it had also announced plans for a new restaurant concept - Huxley's Bar & Kitchen – to open in the new Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 in March 2008.[12]

The group expanded rapidly in 2007 with the purchase of Ma Potters restaurant company in February for £14.15m,[13] and the Strada chain - which included five Belgo and Bierodrome restaurants - in May for £140m.[14] In July, Tragus signed a deal with Center Parcs to operate several Bella Italia and Café Rouge restaurants in the leisure village operator's UK sites.[15]

In April 2012 it was announced that Graham Turner would step down as Tragus chief executive. John Derkach, formerly managing director of the Costa Coffee chain took up the position in August 2012.[16]

In early 2014, Blackstone's stake in Tragus was acquired by US investor Apollo Global Management,[17] and, in June 2014, Apollo sought to shed or restructure some of Tragus Group's rent obligations at Cafe Rouge and Bella Italia, and to sell its Strada chain.[18] In September 2014, Tragus sold Strada to Sun Capital Partners....
2014 was a vey busy year in Hampstead, I mean London.
..Casual Dining Group

in March 2015, Tragus Holdings rebranded as Casual Dining Group (CDG).[20] In July 2015, CDG acquired Las Iguanas[21] and later went on to purchase La Tasca.[22][23] CDG also opened concessions including Bella Italia, Café Rouge and Las Iguanas restaurants at Centre Parcs villages,[24] and in UK airports, including Gatwick, Heathrow, Jersey, and Inverness..

However, efforts to close loss-making outlets and stem group losses continued through to 2018.[26][27] Also in 2018, Apollo sold its stake in the group to Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Pemberton Capital Advisors (the two had provided loan finance since 2015).[28] Some La Tasca restaurants were converted to other brands, and the remaining four La Tasca restaurants were sold in February 2020.

...On 3 August 2020, it was announced that Casual Dining Group, including the Las Iguanas, Bella Italia and Café Rouge restaurants, had been acquired out of administration by private equity firm Epiris and rebranded as The Big Table, led by the existing management team under CEO James Spragg

Brands

CDG operates restaurants under the Bella Italia (100+ restaurants in the UK),[35] Café Rouge (60+)[36] and Las Iguanas names. It also operates sites under the Belgo (4, London and Nottingham), Huxleys (1, airport),[37] Oriel Grande Brasserie (3, airports), DUBL (1, airport) and La Salle brands...CDG claimed to emphasise corporate social responsibility practices.[38] It reduced its energy consumption by 17% from 2012 to 2016,[39] and had a partnership with The Prince's Trust charity.

..In 2009 Tragus was the subject of newspaper reports highlighting the practice of several UK restaurant chains using customer tips to meet minimum wage laws for waiters/waitresses. The company's business model was said to depend on paying servers as little as £2.50 an hour, with the rest coming as tips

TEXAF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEXAF
TEXAF or Societe Financière et de Gestion TEXAF[1] (previously UTEXAFRICA, Congotex UTEXLEO, UTEXCO) was a major textile manufacturer of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since the 2007 liquidation of its textile manufacturing division, it has been operated out of Belgium and Kinshasa as part of a larger Belgian-headquartered Congolese textile and industrial firm under the name TEXAF. Under a series of brands, TEXAF operates in the sectors of textile design/distribution, transport, housing and construction, mechanical, and cotton plantation. UTEX operates quarrying under the name CARRIGRES, machine and rail transport fabrication under the name MECLCO, consumer textile sales branded as UTEXAFRICA, and a medical hospital, the Hospital Center UTEXAFRICA in Kinshasa.[2][3] All its arms operate in the DRC, while the company is based in Brussels.

In the 1930s—1950s the original TEXAF concession sold off its cotton plantation and shipping elements and focused on its textile production division, under the name UTEXLEO (founded 1934).[4] Its name stood for Usines Textiles du Leopoldville, from the colonial name for Kinshasa. In 1960 it was the 31st most capitalized Conogolese company, though it remained European owned.[4] Following independence, President Mobutu's "Zaireization" campaign saw the company nationalized in 1974, and renamed to reflect the new names of the country and its capital: UTEXCO.[4] In the late 1970s and 1980s, the holding company of these brands—TEXAF—consolidated much of the Zaire textile industry, with the acquisitions of SOLBENA, Zaïreprint (printing), Otricot-Super Star (food), ESTAGRICO (cotton), MECELCO (construction) COTONNIERE DU KASAI-MANIEMA, and the reacquisition of the resources of its cotton farming company (sold off in 1934) ONAFITEX.[4] From 1980, a series of European companies held majority stock in TEXAF..

Bert, Vander Elst, Leopold Lippens, etc., and present at the murder of Katrien
De Cuyper. When X1 was asked about Nihoul, she told that in the early
1980s he took her to a certain apartment. She drew the apartment and
later took the investigators to it. It was located in the Dupréstraat in Jette
(Brussels suburb) and had belonged in the early 1980s to Annie Bouty.
The drawing of the apartment's layout was accurate.)

and father of Hollywood actress Glenn Close, William Close https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Close
an American surgeon who played a major role in stemming a 1976 outbreak of the Ebola virus in Zaire,..In 1960, he traveled to the Belgian Congo, where he practiced medicine, being the only surgeon in Leopoldville during the Belgian revolutions, met and befriended a young Congolese soldier named Mobutu, and, after Mobutu became president, he, at Mobutu's request, ran the 1,500-bed Mama Yemo Hospital (now Kinshasa General Hospital) named in honor of Mobutu's mother, in the capital city of Kinshasa, Zaire, with the goal of getting health care into rural areas of the country. He served President Mobutu Sese Seko as his personal physician, pilot, director of security, and was Surgeon General of the nation's army.[4] He developed a hospital ship that traveled the Congo, bringing medical care, and, more importantly, medical education to remote village healers. Medical research at the Mama Yemo Hospital was very important to the understanding of the HIV-AIDS disease, and changed the worldwide practice of always repeating C-Section deliveries..

In the mid-1970s, the Ebola virus broke out at a missionary hospital in rural Yambuku, near the Ebola River. ..On his way back home to the United States for a home leave, Dr. Close returned to Kinshasa from Geneva, discussing the issue on the flight with two physicians from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Joel G. Breman and Peter Piot, who discovered the Ebola virus.
