Official censor censors himself after Star expose
Whitehall censor Charles Bennett previously ran as a Parliamentary candidate for Ukip
A WHITEHALL censor has disabled his social media accounts after the Morning Star revealed his controversial past as a mercenary, counterinsurgency expert and Ukip candidate.
Charles Bennett stood for Ukip in the 2010 general election but lost his deposit. Last year he started work for the Foreign Office as a “sensitivity reviewer,” part of a select team trusted with vetting diplomatic cables and redacting awkward episodes before they are released to the National Archives.
After we splashed on his story yesterday, Mr Bennett quickly took down his LinkedIn profile and made his Tweets private.
