This email from an angry presumably
Asian librarian Lakshmi
Banner in Bradford.
Focal Point Publications had mailed a
flier on David Irving's latest Churchill
biography to every college
library in the UK.
EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Sir
I WOULD appreciate it if you did not send any promotional material to this college. We are proud to be a multiracial organisation supporting a diverse community of students and staff, and have no place for material by an author who has been proved in court to be an "apologist for Hitler".
Many thanks,
Subject Librarian

I HAVE been shown your interesting letter. Are you trying to dictate what materials future librarians, long after you have left the college, will receive? It is out of our hands anyway, as the library mailing list is compiled by a commercial organisation which is neutral (as are we ourselves); it is the bigots like yourself who promote racism in my country, don't you agree? Bradford does not belong to you, nor does the education of its English citizens.
