[…] in the “hayshed shoot-out” in November 1982.

[…] KGB archives. Five years ago, unimaginable. Today… today it certainly makes a striking contrast with dear, declining Britain, where MP’s may not even ask parliamentary questions about MI5 and 6.

[…] then only just over a year since there had been several weeks of intense media interest in the revelation that the BBC actually had its own in-house MI5 office vetting BBC employees (still there, as far as I know) — prima facie evidence that, au contraire, the BBC was exactly ‘like that’ on occasions.

[…] Cabinet Office in October 2002, if you look up SIS Chief Sir Richard Dearlove in the Index, his column ref. is ….. ‘666’. If you look up MI5 Chief Sir Stephen Lander (new chief not in yet) in the Index, his column ref. is ….. ‘666’. If you look up the Security Service, Secret […]
