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.

In Totnes, Devon, 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.

Residents of Totnes were not ammused and have produced a one-off independent
paper to provide a forum for the issues currently being censored by the
editors of newspapers owned by Sir Ray Tindle.
