[…] that someone’s lying, or they may simply have been produced by fallible human beings. You start out by doubting the official story, but you keep an open mind and apply the same sceptical standards to all the alternative versions. Debunking an error is an endless process, even if you believe you’ve seen a white […]
[…] the siting of US missiles around Russia in his capacity as Poland’s Foreign Minister. Mention Poland in British politics and the name Denis McShane MP springs to mind. The son of a Polish émigré, McShane was, like Sikorski, deeply involved in Solidarity there before he rose to prominence in international relations, in his case […]
[…] are offences in which the essence is improper concealment of information from share holders of a public company for the purpose of private enrichment. I have in mind the following possible charges: an offence against Section 84 of the Larceny Act 1861 in relation to the recommendation to shareholders in 1966 relating to new […]
[…] you get some actors?’ (There were two sitting in the room, drinking tea.) No: Loach wanted us to improvise it. So in front of some professional actors, mind, we spent an excruciating 15 minutes trying to improvise a dialogue about the 1970s, pretending to be a British Army officers engaged in a cabal. We […]

[…] picture was extremely fuzzy – presumably taken with a long lens – and it is impossible to tell whether the two women are 20 or 50, never mind whether they were attractive or not. Livingstone states in his column: ‘The spy master Peter Wright, of Spycatcher fame, makes no mention in his book of […]
[…] a kind of bible. Here was the proof, the academically respectable proof, of the great conspiracy. It may not have been quite the conspiracy they had in mind, but it was a conspiracy none the less. But apart from them, the only people who seem to have taken Quigley on board have been Shoup […]
[…] of the British state; and on the dominance of London and Roseland (rest of the south of England); and on nationalism and identity. Nairn has a powerful mind, a wide knowledge rooted in Marxism, and wonderful savage rhetoric. Here are some quotations. You could almost pick quotes at random; much of it is like […]
[…] do we know the caller was referring to the assassination? We don’t. It is difficult, however, not to conclude it was the assassination the caller had in mind, particularly when one considers the timing of the call – twenty-five minutes before the shooting. Could there have been another event on that day intended? I […]
