Their ultimate fate isn't known, but they recruited the local organiser, Arthur Beavan to the role of local organiser. He was a thug, who was detained, without trail, in 1940, following the outbreak of war with Germany.

In Built on a Lie, the Financial Times reporter who broke and followed the story, Owen Walker reveals the disastrous failings of Woodford, the greed at the heart of his operation, the flaws of an industry in thrall to its star performers and the dangers of limited regulation. With exclusive access to Woodford’s inner circle, the author reveals the full, jaw-dropping story of Europe’s biggest investment scandal in a decade.

The focus here is not on the metropolitan upper middle-class campaigners, but instead on the grass roots movement whose popular protests would steer the campaign towards its successful conclusion.

Built on a Lie – The Rise and Fall of Neil Woodford and the Fate of Middle England’s Money– Owen Walker Yet the chance discovery of hundreds of secret letters and diaries of three women – many quoted in this account – shattered the image.
