Ah yes - "But seeing as the Freemasons are primarily about charity" -
they trot out the same guff about charity every time they're
challenged. "They do lots for charity, that must mean they are good
people" BOLLOCKS! They are corrupt to the core and evil.

"Entire units of the Metropolitan Police and the Flying Squad and the
drug squad were Freemasons. They all, in the end, were sent to prison.
When you are bonded by an oath of mutual defence and loyalty, you may
well find that it is extremely difficult to squeal on your corrupt
brethren"

So, according to the article, none of this had anything to do with
Freemasonry, but a reporter. desperate for a story asked a nonsense
question and then wrote an article as if surprised that his/her
nonsense question was not relevent to events at all. Yet for some
unknown reason you keep pasting it into posts even though it says
nothing about Freemasonry.
