Proposed text..
On the eve of the invasion of Iraq, Sir Ray Tindle (owner of over 100 local
newspapers)order the editors of his papers to censor any dissenting views
about the
invasion of Iraq.
The Editor of the Totnes Times, Gina Coles, wrote a front page article (20th
march)
in which she refered to Tindles demands as a 'brave move' and said she was
proud to back him.
Activists in the South West were not amused and produced a one-off
independent
paper to provide a forum for the issues being censored by Tindles papers.
