Oborne writes well and his anger-fuelled text carries the reader along at a great lick. One thing that made […]
[…] some British hostages. In some reports, in Private Eye in particular, it has been claimed that the whole affair was orchestrated by an alliance of right-wingers in MI6, the Foreign Office, Unita, and Lonrho. There is no direct evidence of this but it is clear that some people are highly embarrassed by Britain’s support […]
