Akme Publications Press Release, December 2007

Click for Explanation and Index

THE TIMING OF CUP'S AND OUP'S COVERT APPLICATIONS WAS DELIBERATELY CHOSEN TO KEEP THEM OUT OF THE WARTIME NEWSPAPERS




OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ACTUALLY INVOKED TWO WARTIME MEASURES (THE WAR DAMAGE ACT AND EXCESS PROFITS TAX) TO CLAIM SPECIAL STATUS AND TO AVOID CONTRIBUTING TO THE NATIONAL WAR EFFORT




AFTER RIGOROUS INVESTIGATIONS BY THE INLAND REVENUE, THE TWO UNIVERSITIES WERE FLATLY REFUSED THE TAX-EXEMPTION OF THEIR TRADING PROFITS NO LESS THAN SIX TIMES




OXFORD'S VICE-CHANCELLOR WAS PERSONALLY ACCUSED BY THE INLAND REVENUE CHAIRMAN OF EXAGGERATION, UNDUE PESSIMISM AND UNPATRIOTISM




WHEN IN THE 1970s THE TWO PRESSES FINALLY WERE GRANTED TAX-EXEMPTION, IT WAS BY THEIR LOCAL TAX OFFICERS, NOT BY LONDON, AND THERE WAS NO INLAND REVENUE INVESTIGATION WHATEVER




BOTH UNIVERSITIES CLAIM TO HAVE RECENTLY "LOST" THESE DOCUMENTS
