Ian Read is a knob.
I'm a bit disappointed by all this and yes, I do care, and no, I didn't know all this, despite... well, you know.
I thought Tibet and Freya were a bit more switched on than this. It's a bit more than just doing something silly as a teenager - it's deliberate entryism.
At some point I should write to Stewart and ask him to clarify that the IoT wasn't a fascist organisation and had some really good people in it.
I don't know Ian that well but I'm certainly not a fan of his music or the company he kept. I'm surprised that many people didn't suss what they where up to anyway - it's not that well hidden.
The IoT went tits went it was in the hands of Pete, he just wanted it to be the new OTO and I don't remember Ian running the IoT either, I thought Dave Lee took over after Pete gave up the ghost.
