... or, perhaps, just didn't get much information). Searchlight, for example, in a brief paragraph in No.31, refers to "the dear old SIF", and then remarks on the presence of G.K. Young as a former chair and the late Ross McWhirter as a member of its executive council. Labour Research provided some details on SIF membership in a piece on "Powell and His Allies" (36), citing 35 MPs (more than the Monday Club) as members; Lord Lyle (of Tate and ...

... . (1) After the formation of ISC came the so-called Sixth International (6I) (sic), most of whose activities remain undisclosed; his domestic counter-subversion agency The Shield; and, of course, the Freedom Association. Crozier, Robert Moss and Ross McWhirter had been 'meeting with a small group of like-minded friends concerned about the relentless spread of subversion.' (2) After McWhirter was shot by the IRA this group formed the National Association for Freedom. But 'to avoid the delays implicit in formal council meetings, ...

... 'patriotic groups' was the Unison Committee for Action (aka Unison) which was set up in early 1973. Information on Unison is scanty. The Observer (4 September 1977) quoted General Sir Walter Walker to the effect that he had set up Unison with Ross McWhirter at the invitation of G. K.Young, ex Deputy Director of MI6. Young "had come to him on the recommendation of Field Marshall Sir Gerald Templer", something Sir Walter has confirmed recently to the authors. (43) (We return to the ...

... is rather different. According to him the impressive list of names on NAFF council was largely a 'notepaper job'- an impressive list and little more. The full council rarely, if ever, met. An inner core- Robert Moss, John Gouriet, Norris McWhirter and Michael Ivens of Aims- took most of the decisions. In this account NAFF(FA) was just as (ordinarily) chaotic and inefficient as most other essentially voluntary organisations: there was more talking than anything else. Much of the existing information on ...

... Freedom Association. It's nicely produced, contains alot of useful information but has no new revelations. It is essentially part of the thesis of Lobster 11. (Not that our version was original...) And there is one fascinating fragment on the late Ross McWhirter. His father was editor of the Daily Mail in the thirties, while it was supporting Mosley. We believe that Ross McWhirter was in the League of Empire Loyalists and there is an allegation- no more as yet- that he was in Mosley's post-war group ...

... Although Martell's empire folded in the mid-sixties (demonstrating that his actual support was smaller than he always said), he pops up again in 1977 with Lady Birdwood and Donald Bennett in Self Help, another strike-breaking, anti-union, newspaper printing outfit, allegedly financed by Ross McWhirter.(99) He is currently a 'consultant' to Charles Forte. It was Martell's misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, pursuing his anti-union, anti-socialist aims at a point when it had become deeply unfashionable on the right to be ...

... Larkin correctly identifies the anti-communist, anti-subversion alliance formed by elements within Whitehall and a section of the Tory Party but oversimplifies it and makes many errors of detail. For example, on p.182 he writes of the 'right wing of the British establishment (Airey Neave, Ross McWhirter, Ian Gow and Colonel Peter Brush in particular) were pushing for all out war against the IRA rather than this "appeasement".' Did Peter Brush amount to anything outside Northern Ireland? Was McWhirter in 'the establishment'? I'm sure he would have ...

... Army began expanding its psychological operations training facilities- for the first time including civil servants on its courses. (8) In London the former No 2 at MI6 and Monday Club activist, George Kennedy Young, began setting up the Unison Committee for Action with Ross McWhirter. In short, by the end of 1973 an array of organisations on the political right- and the list above is by no means exhaustive- had begun planning for (ie planning against) the arrival of a Labour government.
