... economic crisis resulting from 'under-consumption', the curse of modern capitalism. Social Credit ideas attracted a lot of attention in the 1930s and became the foundation of a successful political party, the Social Credit Party, in Canada. Advocates believed reform of the banking system and the introduction of a universal benefit was a progressive alternative to socialistic or even communistic measures. Many Social Credit supporters were farmers and small business people who were staunch defenders of the free enterprise system, albeit in the idealised form of small-scale, competitive production even then decades out of date. Social Credit attracted many repelled by the rampant individualism of the post 1918 world. It tuned in with a critique of contemporary economic ...

So the rule really says: no-one but Searchlight, and its agents, and researchers approved by Searchlight, is allowed to talk to the nationalist /fascist fringe. You'd never guess that messers Gable and Atkinson of Searchlight were once employed by the Communist Party of Great Britain, would you? RR 2.

Let's examine one claim I made in that book, that British Intelligence breaches the secrecy of the ballot box by monitoring all votes cast for British Communists. On p. 419 I explained that most people in Britain believe that their vote is sacrosanct, that nobody can possibly discover how you voted. Not so. When you enter a polling station your name is automatically checked on the voters' roll. This gives your home address. Then, so you can register your vote, ...

However, "one high political source in London' maintained that it was in some fashion because of Guillaume that in July 1974 Hanley "presented Wilson with the suspicion that in the early 1950s [Judith] Hart had been closer than she had admitted to the Communists'.(3) The smear campaign against Hart and the way that the Brandt/Guillaume episode was used by MI5 is dealt with in our book Smear!.

Cottam observes that agents working on behalf of the British 'saw the opportunity and sent the people we had under our control into the streets to act as if they were Tudeh.
