It has been alleged that Paddy Ashdown (Lib Dem), Pauline-Neville Jones (Conservative) and Margaret Ramsey (Labour) were SIS officers. I'm sure there must be more - and those are just the (allegedly)former (but are they ever really former or are they rather, outsourced?) SIS officers. How about the SS and GCHQ? The transition from covert to overt political activity is a logical one. The rather daft and Obsessional Compulsive-Disordered Official Secrets Act prevents them from openly acknowledging this aspect of their occupational history. Whether or not one thinks it - the OSA and/ or the political dynamic entailed - is a good or bad thing is quite another matter.

Voters may be unaware that Mr. Stewart has just been named by a former Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray www.caigmurray.org as an MI6 officer deliberately deceiving the electorate that he previously worked at the Foreign Office. Does our local Conservative Party really want a former "Spook" whose job in itself is based on deceit and underhandedness to present the face of honest politics?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
