Franklin Gimson notes in his diary that he considers the British Communal Council 'a subversive organisation'.
He also mentions disapprovingly a discussion of post-war Hong Kong in which the members disregarded the interests of labour and considered only those of employers.
Although Gimson considers the B.C.C. a 'revolutionary body' (diary entry of Friday, June 25) Camp politics aren't about a simple clash between 'left' and 'right'.
