For those who don’t read to the end, I gave up Freemasonry in 1984, when I was 26, as soon as the then Commissioner said it was incompatible with being a police officer. I haven’t attended a Masonic meeting since. I’m critical of people who misuse Freemasonry for their own ends.

Surely you accept that Freemasonry itself teaches the opposite of what the story alleges? This feels like a witch hunt.

It’s ideals are sound but open to abuse. In terms of policing, anything that creates suspicion between officers and the public is unhelpful. Sadly some join because they think it will benefit them professionally rather than a moral framework to live by.

But you can’t persecute an organisation and a man’s right to join it under EU law based on suspicion. Really any worse than rotarians, golf club, Knights of St Columba? It seems freemasonry unfairly singled out.
