- 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.
- Het of the month: Dusty Springfield
