[…] exports and the money leaves the country, as it did here in the early 1980s. And so on and so on. The authors want to create a new ‘worldview’. More prosaically, now that we have seen what happens when the bourgeois state is reduced to a rump, and politicians are persuaded that they are […]
[…] is the biography of Dick White, the only man to have been head of both MI5 and MI6 (SIS) and it is a massive breach of the new Official Secrets Act. For Bower not only had access to White’s memoir of the period, with White to vouch for him, he spoke to ‘dozens’ of […]
[…] ideas was in 1978, when I met one of his followers selling papers and magazines on the street in Bonn.
