... these bastards out." '( 95) More recently we have learned from Bernard Donoughue that Prime Minister Callaghan, if not the entire Cabinet, knew more than these published fragments suggests. In a 1989 seminar on the IMF incident, Donoughue revealed the following. 'In the middle of this crisis I was privately summoned to the United States Embassy for a secret meeting with a very senior official there who said, "You should be aware of something, which is that parts of the Treasury are in very deep cahoots with parts of the U.S .

One of the men arrested in Gambia and subsequently released said that when he was questioned by his American interrogator and demanded to contact a lawyer and the British Embassy he received an illuminating response: 'Who do you think asked us to arrest you? Where do you think this information came from, the questions we are asking you?

That is because SIS have always employed the others. For example, SIS diplomat Alexis Forter, who, prior to becoming Counsellor at the British Embassy in Paris was my father's case officer, was all 'white ethnic' - although he preferred the expression 'White Russian'. He repeated it so often that eventually my father remarked: 'My family would never have mistaken you for an African one.

A real conspiracy theorist (which I am not) would see the hand of the US Embassy in the Labour Party's Partnership in Power reforms (4 ) because the State Department was the ultimate beneficiary. Similarly, the necessary market revolution against the sclerotic corporatism of special interests in the 1980s should have been the prelude to a new market-driven social democracy along European lines but was it? No, a greedy, desperate and ...
