Beyond reform

THE Reform Club’s members voted in
May to ban the Holocaust revisionist
David Irving from their Pall
Mall clubhouse. Curiously, however, the
Reform’s library has just added a copy of Irving’s book
about Churchill, Triumph in
Adversity,
to its collection.

“A member – who I don’t want to name
– offered to donate a hardback copy,” says Lady Renouf, who was reprimanded after inviting Irving to dinner there 18 months ago. “His offer was formally accepted by the library committee last week.”
