However, in deference to the Pendle residents who themselves or family members had suffered in Japanese hands during the Second World War, the matter was dropped.

If this madcap plan comes to fruition it will send an immediate and clear message round the globe that we, the people of Pendle, approve of terrorism and have taken sides.
