Talk:Guinness share-trading fraud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

is this a reptbl ref 4 p. worsthorne's comments? Jamaissur

From a speech given by David Irving:

Peregrine Worsthorne, that great editor of the Sunday Telegraph, made so bold, a year or two ago now, as to draw attention to the fact that every single defendant in the Guinness Shares Scandal was of a certain, uh, type. (Laughter) I am not going to go into more detail than that. He mentioned in an editorial in the Sunday Telegraph that every single defendant was of a particular religion. This of course is entirely immaterial to us. We don't mind what religion people are. It makes no difference if Gerald Ronson and Ernest Saunders and the rest of them are not really called that at all; that "Tiny" Rowland's real name is something completely different is a matter of complete indifference to me. But what does worry me is that apart from the Sunday Telegraph the English press for some reason found it necessary not to mention this — that this was an obvious unifying factor which for some reason or other had not to be mentioned.
