[…] to the Committee on Standards in Public Life about the influence of the Israeli lobby in the UK, is on-line.(5) Most usefully, it includes details of the Conservative as well as Labour Friends of Israel. The authors comment: ‘In the meantime your Committee is aware how the lobby group, Friends of Israel, has embedded […]
[…] $1.2 million, as opposed to the $534,750 in the previous five years. In the UK In 1995, Brown and Root’s donations of £16,000 a year to the Conservative Party (presumably making them an honoured member of the Party’s ‘Team One Thousand’ initiative for donors of a £1,000 or more) was not the particular cause […]
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. This book is his […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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? […]
[…] in this field? Why do MPs sit on the ISC doing degrading, keep-em-busy, shit-work? Why do MPs take no notice of a £200 million overspend? From a Conservative government we would expect nothing else, of course. The security agencies simply are not on their agenda. The Tories are historically the Queen and country party, […]
[…] three-year window of opportunity, to out-flank New Labour with a national welfare model and fully caught in the time warp of the period 1983 to 1992. The Conservative Party has not recognised that sufficient of the electorate did not reject it because of scandal but because the Thatcherite model of society was unbalanced – […]
[…] World War and post-war official controls’ huffs and puffs merely to show that while the City was sat on between 1939 and 1951, as soon as the Conservative Party got into office, it got its hands back on economic policy. Notice how Roberts puts this: “Two decades of cheap money came to an end […]
[…] constructive statesman, admittedly flawed, but certainly not a criminal; in fact, as a great wasted talent. This man, we are routinely assured, could have led either the Conservative or the Labour party; but then so could Tony Blair, so this hardly amounts to a great endorsement, even assuming its validity. But what does this […]
[…] treason by MI5 officers in Britain and abroad. I do not believe for a minute that these things could have been going on without members of the Conservative party being kept informed in the generality if not in specific details. It looks increasingly likely that Mr. Airey Neave was in touch with some of […]
