I can only hope the book provides more references. I am a little surprised they weren't nicer about him, the description seems to have him matching everything that the Daily Mail celebrates.
No idea whether it's factual about Greene, but it's about where I see Bendrix headed.
Thanks for the links, Victoria.

Apologies
gmw. I realised I had unintentionally ignored your comment to me in answering
Victoria's response.
I get the impression that the journo used the publication of Greene's letters as an excuse to write this really scurrilous piece about him. I did have a look for reviews of the volume, and it sounds to be very interesting and well edited by Richard Greene (who isn't related).
You can see where the term "gutter press" came from!
Christmas Day is due to start shortly here, so best wishes for Christmas to everyone!
