(Sunday News 5th June 1983) ‘X’ is quoted as saying: “It’s impossible to say how many phones […]
[…] few of us were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no. That’s what I call fear-mongering, un-justified, proven wrong.” ’ MI6, BP and oil Reportedly the subject of a D-notice after it appeared in the Daily Mail, and subsequently withdrawn from that paper’s Website, Glen Owen’s ‘Hookers, […]
[…] Sunday Times, and have already read there. America good! Bin Laden bad! Stella Rimington a bold rebel! Carlos the Jackal bad! Look at this picture of the MI6 building!
