... Humphrey Berkeley several times in 1987 when Channel Four News and Berkeley were interested in Wallace's story and while Berkeley did mention the sex parties with boys from Northern Ireland, he did not link this to Kincora, even though he had read Wallace's documents, some of which were about it.3 Hitherto the agency linked with Kincora in media stories has been MI5. It is MI5 – who had replaced SIS as lead intelligence agency in Northern Ireland – who refused to take action when informed about McGrath's activities there by Colin Wallace and a military intelligence officer named Brian Gemmell.4 This piece by Fielding shifts the focus of attention onto SIS (MI6), as well as adding Anthony Blunt and the Cambridge ...

The author's analysis of the situation agrees with that of MI5 and its allies on the right at the time, with one essential difference: MI5 was aware that the 'Moscow gold' from the Soviet Union was mostly going to the Communist Party's industrial department (which was running the Liaison Committee for the Defence of Trade Unions). As a result anyone or any organisation which had contact with the ...

... terrorism. At its simplest, if I thought that Jonty Brown was a Shinner, (5) I wouldn't be writing this review. The core of Jonty Brown's allegations are not entirely new, as he alludes to the establishment of an 'inner force' in the RUC around about 1973, under the auspices of one Jack Morton, an MI5 officer who had worked with the colonial authorities in Malaya. This 'inner force' was discussed in a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary in 1991. This in turn, led to the unprecedented use of the Prevention of Terrorism Act against the makers of the programme. (6) Like Dispatches, Jonty Brown links the 'inner force' to the ...

... it up for the paper-- the traditional role of the British 'defence correspondents', famously the captives of their Whitehall sources. In fact this is more interesting than I expected. In this instance Adams has persuaded some of the big cheeses from the CIA and the Russian intelligence service to talk to him, as well as SIS and MI5, and the result is a kind of survey of the new world disorder. I'm not very interested in, or knowledgeable about, the current state of the CIA or the Russian service, and skipped through most of that. It might be true; it might all be complete baloney-- and I wouldn't know the difference. ...

... yet- in the 1973 EEC Referendum campaign, part of which is described here.... But for me the potentially most important section is the short chapter on IRD's domestic political operations. In his A War of Words (reviewed in Lobster 36) the late Christopher Mayhew revealed the existence of a meeting in 1956 between IRD, MI5 and the Cabinet Secretary which, in Mayhew's words 'led, among other things, to the ousting of Foulkes and Haskell from the leadership of the electrical trade union' (emphasis added). Among other things....... I said in my review that this fragment of Mayhew's 'may point the way to a completely ...
