However, the evidence is that British agents willingly killed individuals on both sides in the Northern Irish problems back in the 1970's. They don't admit it, but they did the deed.<br /><br />Perhaps a judge is considered expendable - if she opposed an order from above - or did she ask too many awkward questions? Complete obedience is the price usually asked for any who want to play a role in the British Establishment. Surely it is dangerous to hobob with the rich and famous, unless you are willing to hold your tongue and be one of their servants.mjshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016722935977762769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21074984.post-42967845439905139032011-11-29T13:19:22.151-08:002011-11-29T13:19:22.151-08:00You were lucky she did not offer you a cigarette, ...You were lucky she did not offer you a cigarette, my girlfriend was and she is no longer with us.

The basis of Rimingtons analysis had been that Smith had passed the secret frequencies of the Alarm/Harm missile to the Russians, and both missiles were then the front line air force defense <BR/>system of the air force. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The problems however are. <BR/><BR/><BR/>1. Rimington does not put any material in her autobiography about this <BR/>amazing coup. <BR/>2. Smith has always denied spying at all <BR/>3. Smith has managed to contact the designers of the missile systems <BR/>and all have denied that the material used in Court and said by <BR/>Rimington to be top secret was only common or garden electrical <BR/>material. <BR/><BR/><BR/>It was put to Rimington that at the time of Smiths arrest on her <BR/>orders to special branch, she desperately needed a coup in order to save her job at 5, where she had been considered at that time mediocre out to advance the cause of women within the service, that she was prepared to fabricate all evidence against Smith to gain Smiths conviction and was excited that he received 25 years imprisonment. <BR/><BR/><BR/>She did not deny any of these assertions. I then put it to Rimington that she had lied to gain an improper Court outcome and her motive was self promotion.<BR/><BR/>Tony HollandAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411239537856964358noreply@blogger.com
