However much fun you had conceiving it, the end product is entirely new, entirely itself, and not always entirely happy. Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures. Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem.
When David Edgar, chairing a session on theatre and censorship, asked the Northern Irish playwright Gary Mitchell whether he spoke for the Protestant community in North Belfast, Mitchell replied pugnaciously that he spoke only for himself. Mitchell knows all too well what it means to be accused of representing a community. He calmly described the intimidation that he and his family have received at the hands of loyalist paramilitaries who object to his portrayals of their culture. Her play Bells, staged last year at the Birmingham Rep, explores the world of the mujra: so-called dancing clubs prevalent throughout South Asia and now common in Britain. As a young girl, Whittaker-Khan watched candy-coated Bollywood representations of the mujra, and wanted to be a courtesan when she grew up.
Even in writing Bells, she explained, she was as much attracted by the glamour as she was horrified by the closeted prostitution.
That three different Bolton transfer signings involved secret payments from agents to Craig Allardyce, some when he was contractually banned from doing any Bolton deals. Collymore also represents England cricketer Simon Jones. The programme also claimed to have set up a sting involving handing a cash payment to an unnamed Premiership manager, but the alleged manager did not turn up at the rendezvous. When the Israeli international moved to England, agent Jamie Hart — the official middle man — was paid a fee by Bolton. But he has now confirmed that unlicensed agent David Abu also received a cut of the fee for the role he played in the deal. On 20 September, The Football Association asked the BBC to provide all of the collected evidence and announced that it would investigate these allegations. I have therefore instructed my lawyers to prepare my case against the BBC. Kevin Bond: said that he intended to sue the BBC for libel.
In response, Bond issued a statement claiming that Newcastle had sacked him without investigating properly. Kevin Bond filed legal papers against the BBC, but withdrew the libel action, 8 days before the trial was set to commence. There was a complete lack of substance and evidence, and if the BBC has any hard evidence it should give it to the Football Association. On 20 December 2006, Stevens presented his preliminary report, which found that while the level of corruption within English football was not as high as had been anticipated, there were several causes for concern. In summary, the report stated: "there is no evidence of any irregular payments to club officials or players, and they are identified only as a consequence of the outstanding issues the inquiry has with the agents involved".
