  • Raid on the School, Saturday 27 September 1975
    14 RAID ON THE SCHOOL, SATURDAY 27 SEPTEMBER 1975 This Saturday started more or less like any other. I started work in the printshop at about 07.00 hours. Healy was at the Partys Education Centre in Derbyshire so I was able to set my target to finish late afternoon. I went back to my flat, had a bath, and settled down for a couple of hours sleep. This sort of day was fantastic. At about 18.00 hours I started my weekly tour round Fleet Street to collect the Sunday papers as soon as the presses started running. This meant that we would get a look at the Sunday papers several hours before they reached the streets. This was one of those rare weekends when there was no pressure to rush back to Healys flat; I was simply to leave the papers at the front office where a member of our Editorial Board would pick them up, scrutinise them and prepare for the Sunday morning Editorial Board meeting. The great god Linotype was on my side that night. All the Sunday papers got off to a flyer so I was back in the front office by 19.30 hours. I sorted one of each for the editorial staff and put the rest on a pile for me to take into the Plough pub in Clapham where I would sell them to the eagerly waiting punters (I had to finance a few pints and an Indian take-away somehow) and watch the Saturday night special football with Paul Jennings. Before going to the pub I decided to flip through the papers myself.

The Black Panthers’ anti-imperialist politics, militant visual style, grassroots strategies, and community programs appealed within and beyond the United States. Between 1967 and 1972, people of color struggling under class and ethnic oppression in six countries outside the United States formed Black Panther Parties inspired by the US Panthers. In the United Kingdom, West Indians, West Africans, and South Asians formed a Black Panther Movement in 1968 and in Israel, a group of Mizrahi (Arab) Jews founded a Black Panther Party in in Jerusalem in 1971.

    Michael Redgrave and The Mountebank’s Tale corin redgrave I M R was appearing for the third and last time at Stratford-upon-Avon. The parts he played that year were Hamlet and Benedick in Much Ado about Nothing. Hamlet was a brave choice. My father was by then 50. In an age less fearful than ours of growing old, great actors like Sir John Martin Harvey had been able to make a lifetime’s work out of a part like Sidney Carton in A Tale of Two Cities. Sir John performed it 4,004 times and gave his farewell performance in the role at 74 and audiences hardly seemed to mind. But by 1958, to play Hamlet at 50 was a risky thing to do and on the whole I think that Michael managed it with great skill. No, I’ll go further: I think it was the best Hamlet he ever gave. Stratford then, as I think it still does, had a summer festival to which scholars, historians and artists came from all over the world. My father was invited, as he had been twice before, to give a lecture. He was a good lecturer. He had given four Rockefeller lectures at Bristol University in 1953, which then became one of the most suggestive, illuminating books about acting, The Actor’s Ways and Means (1953). Other lectures were brought together in a book called Mask or Face (1958). But on this occasion he must have felt that he had said all he wanted to say about acting in lecture form and he chose instead to write a long short story or novella, The Mountebank’s Tale (1959).

  • Opening Statement for Tranche 1
    UNDERCOVER POLICING INQUIRY ___________________________________________________________________ COUNSEL TO THE INQUIRY’S OPENING STATEMENT FOR TRANCHE 1 PHASE 2 Contents • Tranche 1 Phase 2 • Appendix 1 – Groups reported on by the SDS as set out in the Annual Reports 1975 to 1984 • Appendix 2 – Phase 2 officers TRANCHE 1 PHASE 2 The Inquiry’s November 2020 Hearings 1. At the hearings held by the Inquiry in November 2020 we received oral and written evidence about events leading up to the formation of the undercover police unit that will be the focus of a good deal of this inquiry’s work. The unit was known by a variety of names during its 40 year history. I shall refer to it throughout as the Special Demonstration Squad, or SDS. The evidence was to the effect that the SDS was set up to gather intelligence about the Vietnam Solidarity Committee (which I shall call the VSC) and, in particular, its 1968 “Autumn Offensive”. The desire for more intelligence about the VSC appears to have stemmed from concerns, both within the police and within the Government, that there would be a repeat of the serious and violent public disorder that had occurred outside the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square at the demonstration organised by the VSC in March 1968. 2. The evidence about the SDS’s first months of operation demonstrated that it was focused on those planning demonstrations against the Vietnam War: principally the VSC, but also Maoists who had founded a separate organisation, the British Vietnam Solidarity Front (which I shall refer to as the BVSF).
