Free Hearts Club Band

 
Somebody sent me the amazing picture above. It is based on Jann Haworth and Peter Blake's image for the cover of The Beatles' 1967 album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and has in place of the dozens of character depicted, people associated with the Truth movement. I'm honoured to see myself included on the far right of the third row, roughly where TE Lawrence stands in the original. Other figures include Kate Shemirani, Brian Gerrish, David Kurten, Maajid Nawaz, Piers Corbyn, Danielle la Verité, Max Igan, Michael Feeley and many others. Poking their heads up in the foreground we see Chris Thrall, James Delingpole; and, that long departed veteran, Bill Cooper, complete with tin foil hat. Instead of the flowers spelling BEATLES, we see FREEDOM. The drum advertises The Light, the best newspaper around at the moment, the Stand in the Park movement and the White Rose Telegram group. In pride of place we see the Fab Four represented as Mark Devlin, Gareth and David Icke, and Richie Allen. David occupies the body of Paul Mc... I mean Sir William Sheppard. This is a delightful work and all my appreciation to whoever did it.

  6. Nothing! It's still listed on my admin account as a group I manage. Now it just says: "'hpanwoforum' must be activated before you visit. Come back again soon". No explanation of why it is not activated. I've asked the support forum for help.

  7. Its not activated because it dosent exist, its been deleted. You did keep an up to date copy of the database right? You wont be able to use HPANWO again but im sure you'll think of something different. Problem is,as my friend found out,it dosent take long after uploading the database for Tapatalk spiders to find it and alert the staff who in turn delete it again.

  8. I've requested an investigation by the staff over why the forum was made inactive. Hopefully this will be revealed soon.

  9. Theres only 1 reason they pull the plug, violation of their TOS and even then it has to be serious as your board is a source of income for them. They don't delete forum's lightly and when they do its it's gone there's no comming back.

    18 years you say, you must be livid.

  10. Anon, how familiar are you with Tapatalk? How do you know their policy? TT have sent me no warnings or notifications that anything in the group has violated their TOS. Nothing! I'm not that livid, the forum was rather inactive apart from me and one other member. Also, it can easily be replaced.

  11. In serious cases they just pull the plug, they may even contact the relevant authorities.

  12. Great photo Ben! You should check out an album cover of Frank Zappa & The Mother's Of Invention called "We're Only In It For The Money" from 1968. It's a parody of the "Sgt Pepper..." cover - replacing flowers with vegetables, blue skies with a moody, stormy sky and various freaky characters from film, politics, etc.
    Apparently Paul McCartney was not too happy about it, or should I say Billy Shears?!!!!

  13. Hi Anon. I've seen it and it is exactly a parody of Sgt. Pepper. Billy has been earning money in a dead man's shoes for over 55 years so he can sod off!

  14. Very well deserved recognition Ben. The T.E. Lawrence connection is interesting, the free-spirited, well-intentioned anarchist! :)
