Re: PHF Clarke

I was a couple of years ahead of you but I remember a big article in one
newspaper written by an under-cover journalist about 1968/69. You would have
thought there were rivers of blood flooding down the stairs and total
anarchy throughout. Unmitigated drivel of course - they latched on to about two
completely isolated minor incidents - but it incenses me to this day. So
it was the Daily Mail living up to its reputation of The Hate Mail was it?

Is your copy of the Comp News already on the website general reference
section?

It was definitely early 70's because I recall one or two of my schoolmates going in to Fleet Street to protest outside the Daily Mail HQ. Cheers Steven On Tue,...
