Contention [As slide] Anarcho-punk should not be seen simply as a pacifist-punk culture. The culture’s self-identification as ‘peace punk’ was not immediate, and anarcho-punk quickly became diverse in political and cultural ambition, especially concerning the nature of opposition to the state Perceptions of the utility of political violence changed within a few short years, as anarcho-punk responded to a range of pressures and counter-pressures. Changing views of violence reflect shifts in the centre of political gravity within the movement 3. ‘Boring fucking politics will get us all shot’ Discussion about the recourse to political violence in Britain often starts from the assumption that the use of physical force in pursuit of political aims is somehow ‘alien’ to the British system. To provide the context for a discussion about anarcho-punk’s relationship to political violence means establishing the extent to which political violence (deployed by the state and its opponents) was a recurring feature of British political life in the late 1970s and 1980s. 4.

This is an atypical issue consisting of just one essay and various appendices which has been researched, written, typed, printed etc by the two of us in less than four months. Its shortcomings should be seen in that light. Brutally summarised, our thesis is this. Mrs Thatcher (and 'Thatcherism') grew out of a right-wing network in this country with extensive links to the military-intelligence establishment. Her rise to power was the climax of a long campaign by this network which included a protracted destabilisation campaign against the Liberal and Labour Parties - chiefly the Labour Party - during 1974-6. We are not offering a conspiracy theory about the rise of Mrs Thatcher, but we do think that the outlines of a concerted campaign to discredit the other parties, to engineer a right-wing leader of the Tory Party, and then a right-wing government, is visible.

  • Accounting and Discounting for the International Contacts of the Provisional Irish Republican Army by Michael Mckinley
    Conflict Quarterly Of "Alien Influences": Accounting and Discounting for the International Contacts of the Provisional Irish Republican Army by Michael McKinley NATURE OF INTERNATIONAL CONTACTS In a world where nation states are unanimous in their disavowal of terrorism — even if they are incapable of unanimously agreeing on a defini­ tion of what it is they are disavowing — and in a Western Europe which regards separatist and irredentist claims as anathema, mere is a natural ten­ dency for those who are so excluded to make common cause where they might Disparate as these groups are, they really have only themselves to meet as equals; though they might wish to be nation states or represent nation states in the fullness of time, they exist until then as interlopers in the relations between states: seldom invited and then almost always disappointed by their reception. It is a world with which the Provisional Irish Republican Army and its more political expression, Sinn Fein, are entirely familiar and also one in which, given their history, political complexion, strategy and objectives, it would be extraordinarily strange for them not to have a wide range of inter­ national contacts. But potent as the reflex of commonality by exclusion is, it does not completely determine these linkages because to argue this is to argue on the basis of default rather than purpose. For the Provisionals there is a utility not only of making such contacts but also in formalizing them where possible within the movements' organizational structure. Thus, in 1976 the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis moved to establish, under the directorship of Risteard Behal, a Foreign Affairs Bureau, with Behal as its first "sort of roving Euro­ pean ambassador .

  • Author's Note
    AUTHOR’S NOTE A history of MI9 was first provided by Airey Neave (Saturday at MI9) in 1969. His account, followed by those of Donald Darling and then M.R.D. Foot with Jimmy Langley, closely matches the history and development of MI9 as seen in the official MI9 histories, training lectures and manuals and MI9 bulletins.1 The types of escape aids, and the amounts of these sent in to POW camps, were also detailed in their books prior to declassification of the official MI9 war diary.2 There are limiting factors with the MI9 files which contain no historical accounts of the formation and history of the Comet Line, Pat Line or sea evacuations. MI9 was running its operations in the context of a war that needed to be won and therefore was clearly not collecting information to write an official history of the escape lines later. The reconstructions by Foot and Langley, Darling and Neave from eyewitness accounts, leaders of the escape lines, helpers and MI9 agents provide the first detailed histories of escape lines that cannot be reconstructed from material in MI9 files. New material will emerge in this book on the role of MI9’s women who worked at its headquarters, first in London and then at Wilton Park in Beaconsfield. MI9 used female interrogators – a job traditionally reserved only for men. I also uncover new evidence related to women’s intelligence work in occupied Europe. Through simple and ordinary acts of resistance, they made a significant contribution to saving Allied airmen and soldiers. Their stories in Italy are a good example of this.

    Editorial.qxd 2/11/05 10:30 PM Page 3 3 Editorial Regime Changers Anonymous A new popular history has been attracting some considerable critical attention. It is the ‘authorised history’ of MI5, the alleged Security Service, and it has been written by Christopher Andrew, the Cambridge don who has, for the purpose, been given the run of the Service’s classified files. It has revealed some hitherto unknown facts, but concealed more than a few others. The book has been well assembled, and has attracted plaudits for the lucidity of its exposition. We have reviewed it below, in a consideration by Tony Simpson. But here we are not engaged in duplicating a review, but in considering some other aspects of the significance of this work. The Security Service was officially launched in 1909 with a staff of two, who were supposed to defend the realm against Germany. Later they made a painless adjustment and began to defend it against Russia. As the two engaged ever larger numbers of accomplices it became clear that the realm which they defended consisted of ever smaller tracts of establishment England, setting its bounds somewhat short of the area occupied by the masses of the British common people. As if with satirical intent, two senior officials are portrayed in the book in full cricket regalia, upholding the dignity of the empire on the field of play. Patrick Walker and Stephen Lander both became Directors General of MI5, after they had opened the batting for the MI5 cricket team in 1984. ‘Running a team of double agents’, said the wartime Chairman of the Twenty Committee, J.

  • Troublemaker Or Peacemaker? Margaret Thathcer and Northern Ireland
    DUBLIN BUSINESS SCHOOL DBS School of Arts DANIEL COATES – 1727725 TROUBLEMAKER OR PEACEMAKER? MARGARET THATHCER AND NORTHERN IRELAND THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONOURS) SUPERVISOR: DR. MICHEÁL Ó FATHARTAIGH 25 MAY 2016 1 Abstract The aim of my thesis is to highlight the events in Northern Ireland before; during and after Margaret Thatcher’s Premiership and answer the question was Margaret Thatcher a peacemaker or a troublemaker in terms of Northern Ireland? Did she speed up or slow down the Peace Process in Northern Ireland. There will be an introduction to Thatcher before going into the first chapter. The first chapter will focus on Anglo – Irish relations before Thatcher’s premiership focusing on how the troubles came about leading right up to Thatcher’s election in 1979. The second chapter will look at some events in northern Ireland during her first term in office focusing on for example, the Hunger Strikes of 1980 and 1981, Bobby Sand’s death and what followed in terms of support for Sinn Féin, Ireland’s stance on the Falklands war and how Thatcher reacted to that, The third chapter will focus on the Brighton Bombing, the Anglo- Irish Summit and the Anglo – Irish Agreement. The final chapter will focus on The Unionist reaction to the Anglo – Irish Agreement and the situation in Northern Ireland towards the end of Thatcher’s premiership and mentioning the Peace Agreements in the 1990’s under John Major (Thatcher’s successor) and Tony Blair’s Labour government and did she influence these peace agreements? The conclusion will just be a summary of what was said in each chapter and talk about the Iron Lady’s overall legacy in Northern Ireland.

  • The Western Union Clandestine Committee: Britain and the 'Gladio' Networks
    The Western Union Clandestine Committee: Britain and the ‘Gladio’ networks Nick Must In a previous article for Lobster,1 I discussed the planning that took place during the Second World War to establish a stay- behind network in case the Axis powers invaded Great Britain. Thus far my coverage of the subject has extended only to the end of WWII but there is an overlap here as, even before the end of hostilities, planning had begun for the post-war stability of Europe. The two prominent Western powers of the time, Great Britain and the United States, believed that the Soviet Union would be their main opposing force. In the immediate post-war period, networks which were intended as an underground resistance in the event of a Soviet invasion were established throughout mainland Europe. These were the ‘Gladio’2 stay-behind networks. I will not try to detail the circumstances in which these networks eventually came to light. An excellent primer for those to whom this is a new topic would be the books and articles by Professor Daniele Ganser.3 1 <http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/free/lobster71/lob71-were- doomed.pdf> 2 I express the term as ‘Gladio’ (i.e. within quotation marks) because there were similar stay-behind cells all over Europe, but each had a different official name. The only network that was officially called Gladio was that in Italy but, as this was the first one to come to public notice in the early 1990s, the name became synonymous with all such European networks.
