[…] only a skim across a very interesting episode which, given the allegation that Goldsmith attended the meeting between the G. K.Young-Anthony Cavendish ‘action group’, UNISON, and Peter Wright, may have some bearing on the ‘Wilson plots’. If there was a connection between the campaigns against both Wilson and Willy Brandt, as some believe, was […]
[…] again – “an East European Republic”.’ (p. 168) The comments of Heron are really rather significant coming from someone of his status and as early as late 1973. But apart from those quotes all we get is a sentence of mine from Smear! and a reference to Peter Wright. Notes 1 < http://politics.guardian.co.uk/politics obituaries/story/0,1441,563492,00.html >
[…] let it happen to get the US into the war; he tells us that the Cold War was created and sustained by the United States; quoting C. Wright Mills, he tells us that the US is run by a ‘power elite’; he tells us that the Clintons were persecuted by a right-wing conspiracy funded […]

[…] asking me to explain this complex story. They had been prompted to do so by the revelation that a forthcoming book from a former MI5 officer, Peter Wright, referred to that agency’s activities against Prime Minister Harold Wilson – echoing what Colin Wallace was been saying.

[…] all of whom have broken their ‘duty of confidentiality’, or whatever the exact form of words it was that the Thatcher government came up with against Peter Wright. In the last chapter Bower reveals – confirms what some had suspected, or heard whispered – that White had been among those former officers who had […]
[…] the former Prime Minister and/or his close advisors were enemy agents. Routledge does try to cover the 1974-77 period, ‘private armies’, Neave’s contacts with Colin Wallace, Peter Wright and all, but doesn’t do it very well or thoroughly enough. Either it was too complicated to handle properly in the time he had or Routledge […]
