The Primate is not actually jeered (as the Cabinet are) on leaving Downing Street after a conference with the Prime Minister but a woman darts forward to thrust at the Archbishop's limousine a placard: "ABDICATION MEANS REVOLUTION!" Cinema houses take an official hint, and newsreels of the King & Mrs. Simpson hand-in-handing are suppressed. The official B.B.C. radio station tells prominent King's Men who offer to broadcast that "no time...
