Kevin,

Nice of you to take an interest. However, a debate within the private forum concluded that publication of this item was, on reflection, inappropriate, and I presume that the editorial board have chosen to withdraw it.

Responsible journalism from responsible individuals shouldn’t represent much of a story, but I can understand your confusion with the concept…

Ironically McIntyre stood in York in 2001!
