It's the pointlessness of this which is most puzzling.
The cost of the monitoring couldn't be huge...

Unfortunately, the Felon's "base" will think it's in their interests, and everyone else will stay inexplicably silent.

I suppose it's all part of The Chaos Playbook.

Fucking sickening.

I don't know which is more disturbing - that he said it, or that no-one even batted an eyelid when he said it...

Great to hear the work was only paused!
Hope it's going really well.

Yes!
But I stupidly arrived an hour late, so missed the actual walk...
Gave me more time to look around the exhibition though - Derek has a magnificent collection.

I have seen it, but not for a long time - definitely worth a revisit.
Thanks!

Hi Nigel - I think I have a copy "somewhere" - can't remember if it's in a book, or a photocopy.
Do you have a copy?

Probably the most comprehensive list would be "The GPO Garrison Easter Week 1916", by the only recently deceased Jimmy Wren.
I have a copy in my 1916 collection if you want a name checked.
Sorry for the delayed reply!
