[…] wrong he had suffered, he wrote letters to the leader of the Opposition about his unjust treatment. He was then smeared again – this time as a stalker. Cohen makes a half-plausible case for Special Branch ‘taking a look at’ Henderson. It may be – just – arguable that a dozen, non-threatening letters(4) to […]
[…] agents were used by their intelligence handlers to bring about the deaths of certain members of the IRA’ (p. 193) ‘After twenty years, parts of the military machine were out of control’. (p. 192); Sound familiar? There is also what seems to me to be substantial new material pertaining to the Stalker and Stevens inquiries.
[…] in Private Eye (31 December), presumably Paul Foot, pointed out, Ware had already taken part in the rubbishing of Wallace, and Taylor in the rubbishing of John Stalker. Both men have also been given fairly astonishing access to sections of the British security and intelligence services to make TV programmes. Recently, Taylor has fronted […]
[…] businessman, Chair of Manchester Conservative Association, whose life and business were ruined by MI5 and the police looking for dirt with which to smear his friend John Stalker, then deputy chief constable of Greater Manchester.

[…] does not allow me an equivalent right of reply or intervention. That is because, as he well knows, Searchlight has defined me as a fascist/Combat18 associate/drug smuggler/ stalker etc. When he exercises his ‘democratic rights’ in some future Lobster, he should not lose sight of that. Indeed, I would welcome his comments on this […]
[…] smeared and libelled Henderson in a way similar to their smearing and libelling of the Observer journalist Gregory Palast. Palast was a ‘sex pest’; Henderson a ‘ stalker’. Henderson then received the attention of the secret state, having his mail interfered with and (he thinks) his phone tapped. Henderson has written to everybody – […]
[…] feet, it was half way across Kamchatka and so far ahead of Major Vasiliy Kazmin’s MiG-23, that it reached the safety of the open seas before his stalker could catch up. Next, having raced across the Sea of Okhotsk, Captain Chun made a sharp north turn towards Sakhalin Island. Over Sakhalin, Chun again confounded […]
