... '? Which 'deal'? What kind of 'deal'? And that wasn't the reason the deal fell apart in the UK. It fell apart because of a dispute between HM Customs and the rest of the secret state; and, when the whole stupid mess ended up in court, the late Alan Clark MP was unwilling to see MI6 agent and Matrix Churchill executive Paul Henderson wrongly convicted and blew the gaff - the occasion of his famous phrase 'economical with the actualit'.

... the media: support for MI5, a halt to being soft on civil liberties, more crackdowns on the Islamists in the UK, praise for France, more sense of Muslims as the 'enemy within'. We can reverse engineer the briefings to see MI5 and France as sharing a common ideology with US homeland security. (The exclusion of MI6 may be an oversight or meaningful.) This is the agenda of the international 'war on terror' lobby in a nutshell but it may have overplayed its hand. Initial reactions here were not calls for more draconian legislation but scepticism and caution in leaping to conclusions. The Financial Times' editorial response ( [18] ) was pretty ...

In court, Gordievsky's reliability was questioned by the Defence: he was known to exaggerate and is well-known for seeking publicity. He has also been a public supporter of MI5 and MI6, and he admitted he was paid a pension of 1,500 a month after he defected. The Defence called an ex-CIA Station Chief, referred to as Mr P, as a witness at my trial. Mr. P was an expert in tradecraft skills, and he disagreed with Gordievsky and Rimington, saying his opinion ...
