ANDY Meinke merely adds to the mystery
behind the 'election' of Richard Parry as a director to the Friends of Freedom
Press Board (FFP). The Articles of
Association of FFP clearly state that a new Director must be elected after an
existing director has given notice 'of his intention to propose such a person
for election, and also notice in writing signed by that person (in this case
Richard Parry) of his willingness to be elected'. Now Richard by his own admission didn't know
he had been elected, and until now only FFP Company Secretary, Steven Sorba,
seemed to have been aware that Richard had been registered with Companies House
on the 20th, February 2012 as a director of Friends of Freedom Press.
That was the position as it was understood
until this week, but now Andy Meinke has intervened to write that it was he and
the Freedom
Collective that 'recommended' Richard Parry to the 'then directors'
when the 'Freedom Collective had a meeting in 2011 and suggested some people
and Richard responded'. Andy doesn't say
to whom on the FFP Board he and / or the Collective 'recommended' the name of
Mr.Parry, but I suppose it would be reasonable to assume that it was to Company
Secretary Sorba. Neither of the other
two directors, Donald Rooum or Sonia Markham, seem to have had any knowledge of
the existence of Richard as a director when asked in 2014.
The problem here is that the FFP Company
Secretary, Mr. Stephen Charles Sorba (appointed to FFP Board on 22nd,
April 2002), is not just the only director to be aware that Richard Parry was
registered as a director with Companies House, it is Mr. Sorba, who as manager
of Algate Press, had the expense of printing Freedom newspaper for free and
therefore benefited when it closed down.
I suppose this is what is called a conflict of interest.
Meanwhile, people are asking what does Andy
Meinke, and the Freedom Collective do in Angel Alley, now that Freedom
newspaper no longer exists. Andy himself
has described the premises as an 'anarcho-hangout' - a kind of gang-hut for a
Whitechapple elite who claim to represent the 'anarchist movement'. I can't think that this is something that
either Peter Kropotkin or Vernon Richards would have welcomed.
