SIS is dead – you read it first in Lobster – but the funeral has not been announced. Established in 1909, it will not make its centenary.

In the course of my research into the U.S. Army LSD tests (see Lobster 23) among the U.S. Army records, I encountered a few vague references to similar experiments conducted in the U.K.. On February 28, 1993 I faxed a letter to Dr. Graham S. Pearson, the Director of the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment … Read more
[…] The definition of ‘environmental information’ is broad: anything to do with water, soil, land, and activities affecting the environment (eg foods, GM crops, biodiversity, energy, noise waste, drugs, nuclear, radiation, phone masts, biowarfare).
