Radio Four seem to be re-running the Ted Heath episode of Desert Island Discs ...
One that Laurie Penny will be very pleased to fill.
(Clearly posted at a point were I managed to confuse the Spectator and the New Statesman)
What makes you think La Pennionara wouldn't sell out in a moment for a Boris-sized salary?
His choices included Topol's "If I were a rich man" from "Fiddler on the roof" and Elgar's Cockaigne (In London Town), Op. 40, also known as the Cockaigne Overture. Along with the luxury item of suntan lotion.Radio Four seem to be re-running the Ted Heath episode of Desert Island Discs ...
just checked- one colin wallace. no idea as to his overall credibility but it was interesting to see a book published over 20 years ago referencing things about kincora and the role intel had used its 'activities' for
Kincora in my Troubles reading again today- more claims that it was used as leverage. Interestingly the author refers to a 'homosexual vice ring' operating out of kincora, rather than noncery. Claimed as part of a wider dirty tricks campaign, including it being used to end the power sharing executive through dark means, i.e get the ulster strike endorsed rather than spiked. Not sure what to make of it all. The claims that this was done deliberatly to discredit wilson and his gov are certaiinly going to need more than the word of one ex spook
Months prior to that Robert Bradford MP was executed by the IRA . He too had been digging into kincora . It's since transpired that the special branch and military intelligence knew in advance of the killing but did nothing . There's persistent rumours that Fru agents..namely stake knife / scap ...was up to his neck in it too . Bradfords special branch bodyguards were left unharmed ..and they never harmed the hit team either . Although a civilian witness was ruthlessly cut down .

(Really) not wishing to muddy any waters here...but this reported FT interview of Camila Batmanghelidjh caught my eye...
So she was shut down because she Knew Too Much, not because she was too incompetent an administrator to receive government funds?
Look out for bankers claiming that they were fingered for fiddling foreign exchange rates only because they Knew Too Much.

Sadly, it does not beggar belief at all.Very difficult to listen to.
It beggars belief how this seems to have been covered up, and the perpetrators protected.
Lawyers acting for Greville Janner have lost their attempt to prevent him being forced to attend court on Friday to face child abuse charges.
They had argued that it would be “barbaric, inhumane and uncivilised” to arrest the former Labour peer if he did not attend the hearing. Paul Ozin said there was medical evidence that requiring Lord Janner to attend court would cause a “catastrophic reaction” due to the severity of his dementia....
Good to see his briefs have a firm grasp of the concept of perspective
Lawyers for Greville Janner argued on Friday for the former Labour peer to be allowed appear before court via video link after he failed to attend a hearing in central London.
Janner, 87, had been expected to attend Westminster magistrates court for his first appearance over allegations that he sexually abused nine boys over three decades after his legal team lost a high court bid to keep him out of court.
His barrister, Paul Ozin, was in court but Janner did not appear. Ozin said his preferred option was for Janner to appear via videolink from his home, but prosecutor Louise Oakley said that would not be lawful....
I hear Janner has again failed to appear in court despite being ordered to by a judge.
His lawyers have been asking for a video link from his home but the court is not willing.
His refusal to recognise the court is clearly a symptom of his sad condition. He has Anarchia Nervosa.
