[…] Given the choice between a multi-racial, socially progressive Labour Party and nuclear interests, there wasn’t one. Now why was it that Matrix Chambers chose to represent the conservative interest in this legal conflict? To defend human rights? Can they hack it? An interesting British connection of Kissinger Associates is Hakluyt and Company Ltd, a […]
[…] The author’s account also shows a Labour Party dimly aware of all this, making the occasional half-hearted stab at reining in ASIO, which the agency and its conservative allies easily outflanked or overturned. Cain’s account has the familiar virtues and the faults of academic writing on these subjects. On the plus side it is […]
[…] Although a face-saving exercise will be agreed, it is unlikely that the Treasury will fund ‘make believe’ indefinitely. Notes 1 The Times, 16 October 2001 2 Former Conservative politician Dr Hartley Booth, now a partner with international lawyers Berwin Leighton, is Chairman of the British-Uzbek Society. This recent initiative was warmly welcomed by the […]
Richard Griffiths Constable, 1998. Ten years ago this would have been a publishing sensation. Griffiths, the great expert on the British right and their fellow travellers, has found the membership list of the Right Club – a group active in 1939/1940 seeking to coordinate the work of all the patriotic societies.

[…] throughout the world, attention has been diverted from what the other side are up to over here. In fact, just four years and five months after the Conservative Government expelled 105 Soviet KGB and GRU (military intelligence) officers from Britain, the Russian spy network is back at full strength.

Bonar Law (bourgeois Conservative) was neutral and Curzon (aristocratic Conservative) was the only one to oppose it. The decision to publish was on October 31. After this debate, Balfour communicated […]
[…] Salandria ‘soon found that liberals were not interested in what he had to say. So has he stopped saying it? Of course not; he has shifted to conservative audiences. The trouble is that some of those audiences are extremely conservative.’ What does this mean? Salandria talks to the fascists? Not quite fascists? No names? […]
[…] some research on him, which was published in a campus alternative paper I edited. Here was a multi-millionaire entrepreneur who was well-connected with corporate elites, and very conservative, with a CIA-on-campus issue thrown in for good measure. My story came and went, seniors graduated, and McCone stayed. By 1973 the CIA had overthrown Allende […]
