To campaign to get rid of Tricolour.

It was learned this afternoon that the journalist and revisionist historian, Dudley Harris O'Brien is to be made a Commander of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours List. Reached at his hideaway in West Cork, Sir Dudley said:-I am eenormously grateful to her Imperial Majesty for thinking of me in this her year of Jubilee. My patron and friend, Sir Tony, was of course honoured previously, and indeed this is really an honour for all of us at the Independent. As I kneel to kiss her Majesty's ring I shall renew my pledge and struggle against Ira-Sinn Fein. And on my way down here on Friday I was shocked to see tricolours everywhere and I now begin a campaign to have this emblem of Irish nationalism banned.
