(Discussing the prosecution of Lord Horror):
There is no written Constitution in Britain. There should be one. The Section Three laws are pernicious to publishers because they mean that any unqualified official who objects to your work can have it destroyed, without a jury. Truly groundbreaking work, which I regard David Britton's to be, cannot get out. Britain should be what it always proclaims to the world to befree. There should be no censorship. What are we frightened will happen ?" •
