21 Jun 1943, Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Posted: 17 Jan 2012 03:53 AM PST Book / Document:  Chronology of Events Related to Stanley Civilian Internment Camp Date(s) of events described:  Mon, 21 Jun 1943 Franklin Gimson notes in his diary that he considers the British Communal Council 'a subversive organisation'. He also mentions disapprovingly a discussion of post-war Hong Kong in which the members disregarded the interests of labour and considered only those of employers. Although Gimson considers the B.C.C. a 'revolutionary body' (diary entry of Friday, June 25) Camp politics aren't about a simple clash between 'left' and 'right'.
