[…] chiefly for his unremitting hostility to the European Union and his love of Bob Marley’s music. But nearly a decade ago he was the intermediary between Fred Holroyd and the MOD who came with an offer of money if Fred gave up on Colin Wallace. Then he was a deniable intermediary between Libya and […]
[…] the ‘feel’ of such a document right.) For reasons that have been elaborated in Lobster 11 (and, more recently, in the interview I did with Wallace and Holroyd in Tribune 23 January 1987), the project never got beyond its initial stages. But I have a copy of Wallace’s first notes for CO2 and they […]
[…] INLA, presumably one of the hardest of targets to penetrate, and MI5 had its agent, Pat Daly, being offered a place on the organisation’s inner sanctum. (Fred Holroyd says that in his day the British had an agent on the IRA’s Army Council; and assumes they have one now.) Is Winter’s dictum to be […]
[…] the mainland UK media have spent the past 3 months talking to Wallace (and us) but printing almost nothing, in Ireland, North and South, Wallace and Fred Holroyd have been making headlines every week. The strange silence of the British press cannot last for ever. Fitting up Wallace was a big mistake; indeed, rumour […]
[…] on but claimed that it ‘did not manifest itself to the people on the ground.’ This is implausible. Not only do we know from messers Wallace and Holroyd, who had been ‘on the ground’ during a previous power struggle over the control of intelligence, that those ‘on the ground’ know perfectly well what is […]
[…] of these people are Nasty Bastards? Thanks to Dorril, we are a step closer to finding out, though it will take another Massiter, a Wallace or a Holroyd to get inside the citadel. I have not sought to damn Silent Conspiracy with faint praise, I Hope. Dorril’s contribution to research in this field has […]
[…] or from the various tv programmes she appeared on, absurdly he reproduces a short letter she wrote to New Society. The entry on G.K. Young’s friend (and critic of MI5) Anthony Cavendish begins, snidely, ‘The Bulgarian who changed his name to Anthony Cavendish…’; and there is, of course, nothing from messers Wallace, Holroyd or Rusbridger.
[…] investigator, but describing himself as ‘broadcaster and author’ (this is his first book). His range of contacts — listed in the Acknowledgements — now include Capt. Fred Holroyd, Tam Dalyell MP, Duncan Campbell, Paul Foot, Mark Hollingsworth and Gerry Gable. The reader is invited to accept that Murray has undergone a political conversion and […]
[…] slowly changing its content. In number 43, for example, they carried a couple of very interesting pieces on the war in Rhodesia. (I sent them to Fred Holroyd, who took part in that war. He pronounced them pretty accurate.) Even more striking is the essay ‘Flouride: Commie Plot or Capitalist Ploy?’ by Joel Griffiths […]
[…] isn’t it? IFF(UK) Suite 500, Chesham House, 150 Regent St, London W1R 5FA. I have it on reliable authority that in 1987 — when the Wallace and Holroyd story was at its first peak — MI5 approached IFF(UK) and suggested that they take legal action against Lobster using MI5 money. IFF refused. It should […]
