The three businessmen of Buxton who were taken into custody and placed in the lock-ups at Cove and John Police Station on Saturday following an early-morning police raid in the village were yesterday released on station bail.
The businessmen were released after one of them, fifty-two year-old Compton Huntley popularly known as `Charlie', the proprietor of the Roger Harper Fan Club on Buxton Public Road, suffered a minor stroke and was taken to the police doctor at Cove and John for medical treatment.
The businessmen had maintained that the assault on persons in two mini-buses, the robberies and the attack on the police had been instigated by "criminal elements" and not genuine protestors.

 The Pinocchio Theory » Blog Archive » Three Businessmen
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Alex Cox is one of the best and most interesting — and also one of the most underappreciated and underrated — film directors currently working.
I just saw his 1998 film Three Businessmen, which was quite wonderful (even if not quite reaching the sublime heights of Revengers Tragedy).
Three Businessmen is about two businessmen — a loud and vulgar, obnoxiously extroverted American (Miguel Sandoval) and a dour, depressive, introverted Brit (played by Cox himself) — who wander through (initially) Liverpool one night, looking for (and never quite finding) a meal.

In fact, Three Businessmen is as vivid and poetic an evocation of the modern city as Wong Kar-wai's late '90s masterpieces were.
