The Independent: Late and ludicrous on Wycliffe Hall

To be honest this story was not as ludicrous as the last one in the Guardian by Jonathan Aitken where he reduces it all to a simple personality dispute between Turnbull and Storkey. The evidence clearly shows with the departure of other Staff Gordon Wenham that it must be more than that.
