In the March issue they published his picture and described where they think he works and lives. Is this not conspiracy to cause actual bodily harm (or worse) to O'Hara?

... David Teacher quoted from Dillon's introduction: 'In the late 1960s and early 1970s, while the conventional forces of government were openly combating terrorism in Ireland, other agencies within the intelligence community in the United Kingdom believed that unorthodox methods and techniques were required in the war. The intervention of these groupings, which included Special Branch, military intelligence, MI5 and MI6, was uncoordinated, Much has been written about that period, some of it honest journalism, but most of it propaganda inspired by the terrorists and their supporters....' (emphasis added) Boy, has Dillon changed his tune! As usual with British authors working this field, most of his sources are ...

... : a disturbing study of the use and misuse of power Peter Evans Brighton, Sussex: The Book Guild, 2009, h/b, £16.99 Author Evans was a Times journalist in the 1960s and 1970s, for 17 years The Times' Home Affairs correspondent when it still was the voice of the 'British establish-ment'. Evans knew MI5 people and got material from them. He also got material from IRD (unidentified by Evans) but these IRD briefings were 'too right-wing' to be used. Then MI5 tried to recruit him as an informant and he declined the offer. By so doing he branded himself unreliable and MI5 began investigating him. Few of these events are ...

... ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 26) December 1993 Last| Contents| Next Issue 26 MISC A Wapping mystery I noticed with some interest that Sunday Times editor, Andrew Neil, was described in the Guardian on May 27 as having been labour correspondent of the Economist in the 1970s. Was he, I thought, one of the correspondents recruited by MI5 in the big F branch expansion circa 1973-5? Did that explain all the disinformation run through the Sunday Times by James Adams, for example? Apparently not. I wrote to Mr Neil and he replied that he was 'never approached' by MI5. Tapped and taped Some people assume that because I produce Lobster, my life is full ...

... classes. (In fact, perhaps least among the upper classes, so long as they weren't expected to spy on each other.) That's partly why, when British governments have felt the need to spy on others, and on their own people, they have tried to keep the very fact of their doing so secret – SIS, MI5 and GCHQ didn't officially exist until 1989. By contrast, the CIA was set up by Congress, and has always been – formally at least – accountable to it. Britain came round to the same position eventually, but imperfectly, and only when forced to by the European Court of Human Rights. In other ways, however, ...

NAFF's inaugural meeting was held on July 19 1975 (69), and preparations must have been going on for some time before that. Little has been written about those early days but at a NAFF meeting in August 1975, the ubiquitous Chapman Pincher addressed "30 senior industrialists and businessmen" on "the grave ...

Kennedy had previously been thwarted from taking a case before the Interception of Communications Tribunal because of its limited remit. (21) He has also used the Data Protection Act 1998 to make subject access requests to various authorities, including MI5 and GCHQ, in an attempt to obtain personal data they hold on him. These have been unsuccessful, and Kennedy had initially hoped to challenge the certificates issued by MI5 and GCHQ (exempting them from the subject access provisions of the Data Protection Act) before the Information Tribunal.

Before this he lived in Highbury Villas, Kingsdown, with an IRA leader known as Jim Flyn.

She was nine years older than me and had a serious of indiscreet relationships including some with members of staff at PNL, relationships of which her husband had been unaware. MI5 were concerned because, as David Shayler has recently confirmed, they thought that some junior members of the CPGB had been recruited as KGB assets in this period, and that I was one such. For MI5, 1977, the year I left the party, was crucial: as Shayler has stated, they (rather strongly) entertained ...
