 Affair of the placards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Affair of the Placards was an incident involving anti-Catholic posters which appeared in public places in Paris, France during the night of October 18, 1534.
The author of the placards is not known; but traditionally, the French Protestant leader Guillaume Farel is thought to have been the chief inspiration, if not the direct author of the papers.
They were an open attack on the Mass, the central ritual of the Roman Catholic Church, entitled "True articles on the horrible, great and insufferable abuses of the papal mass".

 Lovearth.net - The Lavon Affair by David Hurst
This whole episode, which was to poison Israeli political life for a decade and more, came to be known as the 'Lavon Affair', for it had been established in the Cairo trial that Lavon, as Minister of Defence, had approved the campaign of sabotage.
When the truth about the Lavon Affair came to light, six years after the event, it confirmed that there had been a frame-up-not, however, by the Egyptians, but by Bengurion and his young proteges.
Giving evidence in a forgery trial in September 1960, a witness divulged on passant that he had seen the faked signature of Lavon on a document relating to a 1954 'security mishap'.58 Bengurion immediately announced that the three-year statute of limitations prohibited the opening of the case.

Placards were being produced by a sub-committee operating from the home of Norman Walmsley, who rented a house at Long Tower Street.

The DHAC objected to the fact that this official refused to close down slums and was "against the Housing Trust closing down good houses in the redevelopment area".
