I know it’s a little of track but I just received the following PM on a local forum that I am active on. I thought you all might find it at least a little intriguing. (no he doesn’t have copies of the docs any more)…..
In 1984 I was working on many A listed central London buildings that belonged to the Duke of Westminster, who owns most of the Georgian and other buildings and land in Westminster. I had access to all parts of any building to undertake the jobs required.
I was easing and doing rust prevention on all the windows at the CIBA Geigy UK building . I was asked to work on a Saturday if I could, to do the CEO’s office windows. I decided I would have my cheese and pickle sandwich sitting in his leather chair at his 18th century Rosewood desk. I went as far as taking the piss by putting my feet up on the desk and read what was in his outbox.
What I read astounded me and reinforced my anarchic tendencies. A memo written by this xxxx alluded to a pile of books also on his desk. They were a diverse range of alternate medicine publications and some other publications that the Welsh Green Party were printing. The memo was to the Censors Office and his ‘Instruction’s , as to how these books should either be totally censored or selectively censored.
These were not questions or requests they were instructions.
I photocopied the memo and some of the pages to be removed or censored and sent the lot to the Welsh Green Party. I don’t know what affect this may have brought about but it made me feel like James Bond.
I would love to jam a large volume or two of some fiction up the xxxx of some of the xxxxxxxx who grope with their xxxxx and reality on here, but I won’t argue such important shit with wankers like them . I think it makes them even more sickeningly contrite and xxxxx in the brain.
Carry on
