Caprim After the Economics League disbanded in 1993 a number of members went on to form Caprim, which appears to be a blacklisting organisation. Jack Winder (ex Economics League), Stan Hardy (ex Economics League),Sir Saxon Tate whose Tate and Lyle helped fund the Economics League Caprim provided information to companies on groups and publications such as Earth First, Morning Star, New Internationalist, Ethical Consumer, Engineering Gazette, Labour Research dept Caprim said they “assesses the strength of the threat. And advises on appropriate action.” Also in their own words: “CAPRiM helps its clients by checking the bona fides of anyone a company is concerned about, whether external or members of staff. A simple CV check is often sufficient - and economical.” Funnily enough a month after the Consulting Association was busted Caprim applied to be wound up – a bit more than a coincidence? where will their records go? who has them now? The person we have found most on is Stan Hardy - currently working as chair of the West Yorkshire probation board! The others are getting on a bit. Can you tell us more?
