TO MY WIFE LOIS Prologue For years I had wondered what the last day would be like. In January 1976 after two decades in the top echelons of the British Security Service, MI5, it was time to rejoin the real world. I emerged for the final time from Euston Road tube station. The winter sun shone brightly as I made my way down Gower Street toward Trafalgar Square. Fifty yards on I turned into the unmarked entrance to an anonymous office block. Tucked between an art college and a hospital stood the unlikely headquarters of British Counterespionage. I showed my pass to the policeman standing discreetly in the reception alcove and took one of the specially programmed lifts which carry senior officers to the sixth-floor inner sanctum. I walked silently down the corridor to my room next to the Director-General's suite. The offices were quiet. Far below I could hear the rumble of tube trains carrying commuters to the West End. I unlocked my door. In front of me stood the essential tools of the intelligence officer’s trade - a desk, two telephones, one scrambled for outside calls, and to one side a large green metal safe with an oversized combination lock on the front. -
'Rebels Take Control of Oxford Circus'
'Rebels take control of Oxford Circus'. 18 April 2019 Extinction Rebellion Global rapid rise not just to fame but also the attention of the world is something to be noted. Never before has a environmental protest group seen so much quick popularity and success. It is fair to say by now the police in this country probably view Extinction Rebellion as a expensive nuisance. After all, when you grid lock up large parts of London, glue yourself to underground trains, you’re not going to be very popular with the commuters that use them. Having said that Extinction Rebellion succeed in bringing large parts of London to a permeant halt. They did inconvenience the police, they did trigger the largest spate of mass arrests in one place, and they did park a pink boat in Oxford Circus for a week and shut everything down. The Police did make arrests and did remove demonstrators, but not with the normal effect at pervious protest. Watching a Policeman nicely ask a demonstrator to move on lasted forty minutes, then finally when it came to making a arrest most often the protesters were carried away to a police van. But as fast as one protester leaves another protester takes their place and so begins again the long-winded process of attempting to remove the demonstrators from their area they are occupying. This slow means of removing demonstrators proved to work in favour of the protesters. By the end of the day I was there at Oxford Circus the Police and made very little progress and the Extinction Rebellion Protesters were still there glued to their pink boat. -

British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 William Styles Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge September 2016 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy William Styles British Domestic Security Policy and Communist Subversion: 1945-1964 This thesis is concerned with an analysis of British governmental attitudes and responses to communism in the United Kingdom during the early years of the Cold War, from the election of the Attlee government in July 1945 up until the election of the Wilson government in October 1964. Until recently the topic has been difficult to assess accurately, due to the scarcity of available original source material. However, as a result of multiple declassifications of both Cabinet Office and Security Service files over the past five years it is now possible to analyse the subject in greater depth and detail than had been previously feasible. The work is predominantly concerned with four key areas: firstly, why domestic communism continued to be viewed as a significant threat by successive governments – even despite both the ideology’s relatively limited popular support amongst the general public and Whitehall’s realisation that the Communist Party of Great Britain presented little by way of a direct challenge to British political stability. Secondly, how Whitehall’s understanding of the nature and severity of the threat posed by British communism developed between the late 1940s and early ‘60s, from a problem considered mainly of importance only to civil service security practices to one which directly impacted upon the conduct of educational policy and labour relations. -
