The prudish Lord Longford has just released his eponymous Report on Pornography, which brands gay people as suffering from a ‘perversion’ but allows for us to have (restricted) access to porn. Gee, thanks. The editorial is another tale of financial woe, an on-going theme. Morecambe council are getting cold feet about hosting CHE’s annual conference: will the pier be able to take the weight of all the weirdos? The Biograph cinema have asked Julian Denys Grinspoon to sling his (well-manicured) hook. Reviews include The ABZ of Pornography and Savage Messiah.
‘A Reelll Doctor’ on page 11 is Dr Graham Chapman in disguise.
There are six penises on display in the paper, which may go someway towards explaining why Facebook won’t let us advertise this Project.
