  • This fortnight’s news includes CHE and the London Homophile Society deciding that it’s high time LGBT+ relationships were included in school lessons. CHE managed to slip a triangular wreath made up of pink carnations on to the Cenotaph at the end of the Remembrance Sunday commemorations. Manchester police nabbed a man for pissing in a canal, accusing him of actually tossing off another man who was quite some distance away. The magistrates had thought it serious enough to go to the Crown Court. The jury threw the case out immediately. The main interview is with Richard Scanes, otherwise known as the disco operator Tricky Dicky. Reviews include The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds starring Shelia Hancock and Steven Spielberg’s Duel.
