The 1st Edition of this pamphlet was published in September 1993; a 2nd Edition was published the following year. There were various printings, as far as I can recall there were three printings of the 1st Edition; the 2nd Edition had an errata sheet inserted into it, and later a corrected printing was produced. I am afraid that at the time I did not keep a proper record, but three slightly different versions of the pamphlet have found their way into the British Library catalogue.
A 3rd Edition intended for publication early in 1995 was typeset but never published because it had already been superseded by ...A Guide For Teachers And Educators To The Criminal Conspiracy Known As The Searchlight Organisation, two editions of which were published in October 1994 and November 1994 respectively. Aside from minor typos and corrections, no work has been done on this current edition since February 1995, as recorded on the previous (cover) page of this on-line version.
Along with (the not particularly well-written) Searchlight On A Searchliar (which itself went through three editions), Editors! Are You Being Fed A Load Of Bullshit?... was my first exposé of the lie machine known generically as the Searchlight Organisation. Since their publication I have produced more than a dozen similar exposés which I am glad to say have been widely read, and not just by people on the far right.
Even so, Gerry Gable and his gang continue to be widely and erroneously quoted and used as an accurate source of information on the far right in Britain and the world. As I am sure the politically astute reader will agree, this is not my fault. Sadly it is not Searchlight’s fault either, because the media, be it Jewish, “anti-fascist”, liberal (eg the Guardian newspaper), mainstream, and even to a large extent “right wing” (the Telegraph and the Times) continue to ruthlessly subjugate truth to ideology in the full knowledge that they, and the public at large, are being wilfully misled.
