... led by Alan Crawford, an Australian music publisher. Crawford, who owned a number of record shops in London, said subsequently that he was interested in setting up a commercial radio station that would broadcast pop music to UK audiences because it would boost sales in his record shops at a time when pop music received very little exposure on the BBC Light Programme. Crawford may have had other reasons for involvement in this venture. He was also, for instance, a business partner of Major Oliver Smedley. Smedley was a founder member of the Institute of Economic Affairs and a prominent figure in UK free trade and libertarian political circles. Both Crawford and Smedley knew of the broadcasts of ...

In January 1984 BBC broadcast Maggie's Militant Tendency' which concerned, inter alia, relations between MPs and Tory Action. Neil Hamilton and Harvey Proctor sued for defamation and in September 1986 the BBC subpoenaed me to produce documents re: Tory Action in order to support their case. I telephoned GKY that night to tell him what had happened: he advised me ...

... picked up his – it usually is a he – latest little gem. What's disappointing is how little insight into Atlanticism these big beasts of the journalistic firmament bring back to London when their Washington years have eased them up the career tree back in London. Michael White, still busy dissing any possibility of political conspiracy to his Guardian readers and BBC listeners despite being a Washington hack during President Reagan's IranContra years, is probably the worst of them in this regard. But his old Guardian colleague, Jim Naughtie, is not far behind and also has all his British American Project (Lobsters passim) baggage – none of it disclosed to BBC Today programme listeners.

... F'. But Soldier F has been identified before – you just needed to connect the dots. Writing in The Spectator on 2 July, Douglas Murray reminded us that Soldier F had killed at least four people – one of whom was teenager Michael Kelly.1 This fact had first been established at the Saville Inquiry in 2003, with BBC news reporting: Soldier F agreed at the Saville Inquiry on Thursday that he killed four people, but insisted he did not murder them. [. . . .] Soldier F admitted killing Michael Kelly, Barney McGuigan and Paddy Doherty and an unidentified man in Glenfada Park. ' 2 In 2011, an entry on the Belfast Diary ...
