D-Notice: Religious Nuts

Time for another "I'm Spartacus" moment.

Via Ministry of Truth comes this that's been mentioned on the Wardman Wire about something published by a British cartoonist named Dave Walker (I've been trying to get my head around it and it seems to relate to the publication of bankruptcy proceedings against a British chain of Christian bookshops in the US):

Thanks for the post.

In a nutshell, a long running mismanagement and industrial relations saga involving legal shenanigans, enforced contract changes, now up to 30 Industrial Tribunals and the loss over 2 years of a 200 year old chain of bookshops after a takeover that should have rejuvenated it.

Dave had reported the story in 75 posts, and has been Cease and Desisted - in the middle of the Lambeth Conference where he is very busy as Artist in Residence, just as the bookshop chain is being placed in bankruptcy in USA; it is a UK company.

Abstruse management saga becomes freedom of speech issue in middle of 3 weeks when press attention is focused on Lambeth Conference.

Cue shitstorm. Hopefully.

Time for a Quick Guide, methinks.
