Recently one of my commenters mentioned one of the notorious spies Burgess or Philby worked for the BBC and this motivated me to dig a little deeper into the depths of our media. I discovered Philby may have had very close connects with the BBC which, in those days was respected world-wide.I'm so fortunate one of my favourite bloggers Aangirfan has been doing much more research in this matter and I think his post deserves a mention apart from my weekly SSS blogs.
As a wee taster here's a quote from the respected academic Professor Richard Keeble :
'Let’s not forget no British newspaper has followed the example of the NYT and apologised for being so easily duped by the intelligence services in the run up to the illegal invasion of Iraq.'
Years ago when I first heard about the New World Order (or as it is called these days the New Global Order) and thought what nonsense. It doesn't seem so silly now. In fact it doesn't seem silly at all.

Aangirfan thanks you for the mention of the blog. Long live the good people of the beautiful city of Dundee.
You deserve it for all the research you do about matters we'd rather ignore. My thanks to you.
Aye Subrosa - Aangirfan makes connections and tracks down information like no other blogger. I add my applause.
Nothing controversial in the suggestion that there are spooks in the media. I wonder if there is anything else other than spooks.
Aangirfan's other contention that the expenses scandal is part of a strategy of tension, while not implausible, loses out to the much more likely (and hardly new) hypothesis - politicians are just a shower of greedy, unprincipled bastards.
What's happening that's new is that the spook-controlled media can't keep it dark anymore - the blogosphere has loosed a lot of genies from bottles.
