I have just spotted this tragic story from 2005, describing how my own leaked email about the EU Budget Negotiations led to someone resigning from his media job in London!

With Polish emotion rather than western diplomacy, Kris wanted to recall Crawford to Britain “a country he does not know” and lecture him about what Poles are doing. Kris also commented in a very blatantly nationalistic way that Polish workers were now carrying on in Britain work once done by Polish pilots (a reference to the Battle of Britain of 1940).

The comments from Kris were not helpful in my editorial view. And instead of signing them in his personal capacity, he signed “redakcja (Editor’s Office) Radio HeyNow”.

That was the trigger for me to resign…

Cause and Effect.

George. If you are out there, get in touch. I owe you a drink.
