there must have a been something of a case to answer because of a rash of masonic related outrages that spilled over the investigatory pages of Private eye and even onto television especially during the late 70s and early 80s, not least  the John Poulson affair (yes I know it was a 60s thing, but a lot of the fallout happened 10 years later), after which a Parliamentary Inquiry in Britain resulted in Freemasonry becoming a declarable interest in public employment, especially in the Judicial System and Police.

Sadly, a lot of this is pre-internet and not searchable
