I’m in the process of researching a play which is about the issue of how cp came to be banned in Britain twenty five years ago next year. Most of it is about the political and social wrangling that was involved but I’d also like to talk or correspond with people who were personally affected by it in some way. For instance: those who received cp (or whose brothers or sisters did) in its final years (80s), or who were in some way connected to the issue (had a strong view on it at the time, one way or the other) or who has any insight into “the way things were then” which could be of use. Nothing you say needs to be attributed if you don’t wish it to be, and I am not pursuing any kind of agenda or arguing eitehr in favour or against cp necessarily. I myself have always been quite on the fence about it, probably 55/45 in favour.
