Without checking them all out, I think from memory Mitsubishi made the Zero, but it goes to the very heart of the point I was making. These were industries thrown into a war effort for their respective side. Dow I believe are American? if they are? that they should produce a defoliating chemical for the American military is of no surprise. The Daily Mail, simply weren't. I do believe its that straight forward. They chose to do it, they weren't whipped up into a national frenzy, nor requisitioned etc In my eyes there's a very clear distinction.


As reagrds the idea that it's "hardly in the rabid BNP camp" I'd be tempted to disect that a little. Let's drop the emotive word "rabid" for that is what it is, and see what we're left with? Is the paper so far removed from the concept of British Nationalism? The key word then appears to be "party" as that implies an affiliation.


The Daily Worker like many Stalinist sheets doesn't pretend. Take it or leave it, fight it or resist etc Nationalist papers like the Mail have a much more sordid history in terms of influence, and financing of projects and much more sinister in terms of their reach. I suspect now that Lee didn't know what I've told him tonight? who knows perhaps Kathy doesn't?  I'm pretty certain if I dug the Rothermere lineage out you'd find that in terms of appointments and influence it didn't finish in the 1940's and could be traced back to today?


I try and return again to the issue that started this. Kathy told us what a marvellous little paper it is, you continue to enjoy Kriz, I believe its disreputable and grubby

Who's Colin?
