U.N. blacklist
Sir,—l see that in one of your pages towards the rear of “The Press” you headline Mr Hadlee as being "annoyed” by blacklisting. I should have thought "amused" might have been a more appropriate term. I cannot imagine Waller Hadlee, who for many years has been regarded as one of the finest gentlemen in the world of sport anywhere in the world as likely to be upset by the comic-opera antics bf a handful of Negroes in London. Incidentally, representing as they are so fond of emphasising an “oppressed” section of their native land they do not seem to be doing so badly. To be able to operate from a London hotel and apparently spend most, if not all of their time in a sort of witch hunt for names to put on their ridiculous. list, does not seem to indicate much sweat but does seem to show that they have got a bit. more than enough to pay for bread alone to keep them alive.—Yours, etc.,. J. NEE. Mav 26. 1981.
[The ‘statement by Mr Hadlee
was on page 11 of a 32-page v paper and it showed no sign of T Mr Hadlee's being "amused."— Editor]
