... run on traditional sexist lines, with a Women's Section headed by Mosley's doting mother, Lady Mosley, directing women members into 'traditional female tasks from canvassing and spreading the word to being made responsible for keeping branch premises in orderly condition'. The limits to Mosley's support for equality were shown when the former suffragette, Mary Richardson, tried to secure equal pay for women officials in the movement, and was promptly expelled. Women's political activity was encouraged, but subordinate to and under the direction of a resolutely male leadership. Men and women had their separate spheres, but these were ostensibly regarded as of equal worth, of equal importance. In fact, it is clear that women ...

... background intelligence which he made operational use of, rather than just relying on Special Branch or acting blind. (5 ) His growing reputation as a counter-insurgency specialist saw him go to Military Operations at the War Office after Malaya, with a brief that covered Aden, Kuwait and the Oman. He was involved in establishing an internal security headquarters in Aden, where the political situation was already deteriorating. This failed to prevent Britain's most humiliating postwar defeat. He was also involved in setting up an SAS operation against insurgents in Oman in 1958-59, an operation that arguably saved the SAS from disbandment. Certainly this is what Kitson believed.

... residence in Washington and by all accounts was able to come and go more or less as he pleased, even sharing the tennis courts.(6 ) Low-key journalist or something else?There is something of a paradox here. Was Brandon really a well connected but low-key journalist who was not always trusted by the US security establishment, as the obituaries suggested? There are a number of answers. First of all, because Brandon's sources were so well-placed he had to be careful how he deployed the information he gained from them, in case it resulted in embarrassment and curtailed his access. Secondly, some of the stories he did publish were genuinely ...

... Who Are Dying To Win', in Sanity February 1984. A very good article with much valuable information on the American connection which neatly dovetails with the article in Lobster 3 . More on Francis Leonard Holihan. He was linked to the Heritage Foundation and, it is claimed, misappropriated funds from them intended for the Coalition For Peace Through Security, transferring them into his own Washington Bank account. When not dropping names - Ed Meese, Michael Deaver - Holihan would use the offices of The Heritage Foundation and Fairness Committee, running up large bills which went unpaid. In 1983 he schemed with right-wing Oklahoma lawyer R. Marc Nuttle ( 'National Field Consultant' to ...

Sunday Express another Massie re-write of a spook briefing which began, "The terrorist who hi-jacked a 24,000 ton passenger ship is to plan and command a massive revenge attack by the PLO on Israel and her allies." May 8th 1988, Sunday Express, Massie tells us that "Mrs Thatcher has given the security services two months to crack down on IRA killer squads on the Continent .. . Mrs Thatcher, through her Security Coordinator, Sir Colin Figures, has issued unprecedented instructions to MI5 and MI6 in the hunt for the killers." The same day Massie produced a piece about a "millionaire businessman said to be a KGB spymaster ( ...

In 'Peace Women fear electronic zapping at base' in the Guardian, 10 March 1986 Gareth Parry reported that, 'The American military [at Greenham Common] have an intruder detection system called BISS, Base Installation Security System, which operates on a sufficiently high frequency to bounce radar waves off a human body moving in the vicinity of a perimeter fence.

... the manipulation of Loyalist paramilitaries for counter terror. My conclusions may not please people in both communities or some of the left in Britain, but I believe it has to be said that the vast majority of the conspiracy theories in this regard are inaccurate and in some instances are a deliberate creation of black propaganda for the purpose of discrediting the security forces. ' (pp. xix-xx) After such an opening statement it comes as no surprise to see Dillon's dismissive scepticism about British dirty tricks extending to the allegations made by Colin Wallace and Fred Holroyd. Dillon follows the current 'establishment line' - fudge on Wallace, slam Holroyd. The key position held by Wallace in ...

... this in a paper 'The Genesis Of Combat 18' which was another part of their evidence. A crucial role was attributed to Harold Covington, described as the 'outside influence to bring together several disparate factions and groupings into C18' (p . 2). There was speculation of a possible intelligence input, that of the 'South African state security services' (p . 3), though the only evidence offered was the presence of some anti-Apartheid individuals on the Redwatch hit-lists. The contribution by Searchlight publisher Gerry Gable to a recent book on European fascists is similar, in that Covington's role was still seen as central (p . 261), although the ...

... Dansey have given such a such a bizarre and terrible mission to Dericourt? Timewatch argued that Dansey hated SOE, regarding it as a nuisance which disrupted the gathering of intelligence from Occupied Europe. If one of SOE's most important operations could be sabotaged, then the organisation could be taken over by MI6, and attention could be focused on rebuilding secure intelligence networks which had been blown in the first year of the war. There was more to it than this, however. In 1943 the Anglo-Americans were coming under pressure from the USSR to open up a second front in western Europe. But Churchill was determined not to invade until victory was certain and persuaded Roosevelt to agree ...
