Defence Operations Centre

The Defence Operations Centre was set up in the early to mid 1960s by the Ministry of Defence. According to a statement in the House of Lords by the Earl of Home in July 1963:
:The Defence Operations Executive has been set up to give formal expression to the growing interdependence of the Services by establishing in Whitehall a regular body of responsible officers for the better co-ordination of the Services in action. These officers will be able to function more efficiently than under present arrangements, because they will be provided with fully up-to-date facilities in the shape of the new Defence Operations Centre, and the facilities described in the White Paper: and, of course, they will be acting in accordance with well-established procedures.

Defence Secretariat 19

Defence Secretariat 19 (DS19) was a special unit set up within the Ministry of Defence by Michael Heseltine in March 1983. Its purpose was to combat the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.Stephen Dorril, The Silent Conspiracy: Inside the Intelligence Services in the 1990s, Mandarin, 1994, p.25. 
Shortly after talks between Heseltine and the head of MI5, a senior DS19 official approached the superiors of F Branch officer Cathy Massiter. Massiter was told via F Branch director David Ranson, that the Deputy-Director General Cecil Shipp would look favourably on a application for a telephone check against a CND target who could be classified as a subversive. The result was an operation against CND vice-president John Cox.Stephen Dorril, The Silent Conspiracy: Inside the Intelligence Services in the 1990s, Mandarin, 1994, p.26. 
==Former staff==
In July 1986, Roger Freeman, gave the House of Commons, the following information about former staff in DS19:
::The former head of DS19, Mr. J. K. Ledlie, is now the chief of public relations in the MOD. Three of the other former members of the division have resigned from the Civil Service. One has taken up a posting overseas with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and another is serving in the Cabinet Office. Of the remaining two, one is serving in the MOD public relations organisation and one in an equipment secretariat division in the Procurement Executive.Defence Secretariat 19, Hansard, HC Deb 25 July 1986 vol 102 cc646-7W.

Defend Europe

Defend Europe is a far-right network of young anti-immigrant and anti-Islam activists which aims to send refugees “back to Africa by blocking their boats.
According to its website:
:Right now so-called “humanitarian” NGOs smuggled hundred thousands of illegal migrants to Europe and endangered the security and future of our continent. They are the ones who are responsible for the mass drowning of thousands of Africans in the Mediterranean. But we are no longer looking away. We do something against it.
:This needs to stop. These criminal NGOs are collecting donations to rent ships and to pick up the illegal migrants in front of the Libyan coast. In order to achieve their goal they don’t even shy away from working together with human smugglers. They are nothing less then a part of the international human traffick ring and the migrant business. Therefore it is time to stop these criminals. The first step is already done! Defend Europe, accessed 13 Jan 2018 
In August 2017 the network chartered a boat in the Mediterranean to try to hinder the rescue of refugees by non-profit organisations and charities including Save the Children. Its operation was shortlived, however, lasting only a week after a series of embarrassing setbacks and opposition by authorities in Sicily, Greece and Tunisia. Despite failing to achieve its objectives, the group, which had crowdfunded £67,000, applauded their mission as a success. Maya Oppenheim, Defend Europe: Far-right ship stopping refugees ends its mission after a series of setbacks, The Independent, 21 August 2017

In France, the group behind Defend Europe is Generation Identitaire, whose actions since 2014 have resembled those of anti-Muslim group Britain First.

Definition of spin

Our definition of spin is a relatively neutral one. The Collins' Dictionary defines spin as "the practice of presenting news or information in a way that creates a favourable impression".Collins Spin, accessed 6 February 2010 “Spin doctor” is defined as "a person who provides a favourable slant to an item of news, potentially unpopular policy, etc., esp. on behalf of a political personality or party".Collins Spin Doctor, accessed 6 February 2010  Our definition is broader than that in that it encompasses those working for a wide range of governmental, party political, corporate and NGO organisations. Inclusion in Powerbase should not, however, be taken to imply that any person is either engaged in spin or in activities that are necessarily disreputable. This site is a public interest resource which aims to catalogue and report on communications activities which can influence the news media, public opinion or public policy. Such influence is not necessarily negative and we aim to help the increase transparency and openness about the communication activities that we report on.
