Whilst out of the country, James had been in contact with Tim {{unsure|surname?}} and Matt Fullerton of URY (Matt was not an active member of YSTV at this point) about proposed plans for URY to be broadcast in campus bars using Rediffusion. James had responded on behalf of YSTV stating that ''it would be unfair for URY to be allowed to broadcast in campus bars'', suggesting that it would cut off YSTV's main distribution medium. | ||
[[Richard Ash]] sent an email to Rowan, Jen, [[Jonathan]] and [[Dave]] stating that ''James Flinders didn't seem to think the rest of you needed to see the attached email'' [the one sent by James to Matt and Tim] ''I think you do.''

The general feeling expressed by those who Richard emailed was that URY in bars would have to be carefully negotiated, but was not ''necessarily'' a point-blank no. However the key issue with regards to this article was James acting on behalf of a supposedly democratic society without proper consultation. Few would doubt he had good intentions, but many were angered about his methods. | The general feeling expressed by those who Richard emailed was that URY in bars would have to be carefully negotiated, but was not ''necessarily'' a point-blank no.
