...

In that genre this is an absolute belter; but not for the minutiae of policy formation, with which Donoughue was primarily preoccupied, or the account of the government's handling of various incidents, interesting though they are; but for the picture it contains of the ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 17) November 1988 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 17 Five at Eye Steve Dorril Last year the Guardian newspaper revealed that Private Eye 'may have been used to smear Wilson'. The former editor, Richard Ingrams, told reporters: "Looking back on it, it's obvious that the Eye could have been used by MI5, but it's hard to be concrete." Its hard to be concrete because nobody bothered to look at what Private Eye did produce in the crucial years 1974-76. Having ...

... of which remain unresolved to this day. Although this may mean that his views ultimately had little effect, it does not mean that they went unnoticed at the time or that political leaders did not attempt to alter the economic and political outlook of the UK. Harold Wilson certainly appears to have arrived at very similar views on a number of topics. George Brown may have; some of his advisors at the Department of Economic Affairs in 1964-1966 certainly did.( [1]) I But James Callaghan, Chancellor of the Exchequer ...

... understand, the rest is pretty much the standard picture- although Arab terrorism in Britain sounds very much like an anxiety specific to MI5.(They have to do the work.) The focal point of much of this anti-Labour activity is, of course, Harold Wilson. Wilson "can be shown" to be under Soviet control through Dick Vaygauskas. (Note the use of 'can be shown' rather than 'is': it crops up again, below.) Wilson "received approximately 60,000 from East German sources ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 40) Winter 2000/1 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 40 Historical Notes Scott Newton MI5 and the Wilson Plot The MI5 website (www.mi5.gov.uk) has a section called 'myths and misunderstandings', which features, among other things, 'the Wilson Plot'. The paragraph it devotes to this episode is worth studying. It refers the reader to Spycatcher and Peter Wright's allegation that 'up to 30 members of the Service had plotted to undermine former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson'. MI5 say that ...

It was really little more than a World in Action half hour from the late 1970s puffed-up, complete with redundant reconstruction of Wilson and Marcia Falkender meeting BBC journalists Penrose and Courtiour (Pencourt). Is the TV audience now presumed to be incapable of watching half an hour of factual ...
