... Directive and what the Army and Intelligence services were planning were two different things. " Information Policy was disbanded in 1976 (we think) after a series of complicated manoeuvres by MI5 which was trying to take over the entire Northern Ireland intelligence operation. This internecine struggle, about which we know relatively little, was extremely nasty. People got killed - 10 Army informants in a week after leaks from inside MI5. (157) Captain Fred Holroyd and Colin Wallace, who refused to accept the new regime, caught it in the neck: Holroyd via an Army psychiatric ward into unemployment; Wallace, after an Army enquiry, eventually wrongly convicted of manslaughter, becoming the victim of ...

... do him an injury'. important they were to News International. On 29 September 2009, the Sun announced its change of allegiance, launching a sustained campaign of ferocious abuse that rivalled its earlier character assassination of Neil Kinnock. Brown was savaged for the failure of British forces in Afghanistan, made personally responsible for the death of every soldier killed, in brutal front page attacks. The Sun's anti-Brown offensive was so vicious that Brown actually complained to Murdoch that the Sun was damaging the war effort in Afghanistan. In an unprecedented step, he arranged for Murdoch and Brooks 'to be given an off-the-record briefing by the then head of MI6, Sir John ...

... wholly on the Serbs...... Because it was Tudjman who declared his country's independence, with its own constitution, without first making any arrangements for the 600,000 Serbs in Croatia. And these Serbs still remembered what had happened to their fathers and forefathers last time Croatia was independent, when 400,000 Serbs were killed. So they didn't feel safe, and that is understandable. Consequently they, of course, reacted in a horrible manner. But that does not alter the fact that the Croats should never have done what they did. And that the European Community should never have supported them in that..... ' 'Because of the ...

... culminated in national legislation and international agreements. Has the legislation worked? The author shows the British dragging their feet at every opportunity until the Serious Fraud Office began digging into the 1985 BAE – Saudi Al Yamamah deal while Blair was in office.4 The author shows the British state in full obstruction and evasion mode before the SFO inquiry was killed by Blair, citing 'security' issues, after he was leaned on by the Saudis. Gilby is rather positive about the American experience. Other estimates are less sanguine and I will need more evidence than he offers here that the anti-bribery legislation is effective. Yes, some American companies have been fined for breaches; but the ...

... ' public silence about the fingerprint evidence during the 48 hours between the assassination and Oswald's murder is easily explained as being caused by the precedence given by Texas state law enforcement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (a situation that, by coincidence, ended when DPD regained possession of its own evidence from the FBI on the day that Oswald was killed).7 However, even once this post-assassination to and fro is 5 It seems perfectly reasonable to conclude that the rifle's sequestration by the Bureau was intended to allow J. Edgar Hoover to be seen to crack the assassination case on day one, thereby astonishing the public by pulling off yet another of his investigative coups de ...

... firms so keen on it? This may simply be an aspect of the intense competition for big construction contracts. The TCA files that were exposed – and most were not – showed that the companies were centrally concerned to avoid hiring union members who might try to improve the safety culture on sites. Building work is intrinsically dangerous; many are killed and injured. Improving safety regimes means working more carefully and slowly, and this increases labour costs. The picture that emerges of the construction industry in the UK in recent years is that of ruthless companies, for whom injuries to and deaths of casual, frequently subcontracted staff are merely part of the costs of doing business.
