well perhaps he was a bit left wing about some things, like most of us are. Communists are a weird lot in England. Ian Campbell was one, I remeber his phone was tapped by by one of the security services, and he sent his kids to YC weekend camps. I think it was a pretty serious business for those who actually were card carrying people in the war - some of them got locked up. Henderson joined the army - so he couldn't have been too deeply in it.

I recommend Edward Upwards book In the Thirties, its very good on that pre Hungary atmosphere of paranoia. Up ward was at cambridge with Isherwood, but was hetero so didn't join the gay party in Berlin. he became a CP mem=ber/ secondary school teacher.

I think you are confusing me with Reynard Heydrich, Dave - he definitely said something like that. I never did. I said i saw a shop, owned by a mate in Boston being robbed by Eastern Europeans. I said, call the police. The shopkeeper said - no point, because of the influs of immigrants here in this town, the situation is out of hand.

I'm not a liar. If bearing witness to an incident makes me a racist in your eyes, so be it.
