hi in the above article you claim that ken livingstone repeated allegations by fred holroyd of a plot against harold wilson i haven't read holroyd's book but i have read secondhand accounts of his allegations and the new statesman articles by duncan campbell that broke the story and i recall that they didn't relate to plots against harold wilson but more towards army collusion with loyalist paramilitaries and sundry dirty tricks of that nature are you perhaps thinking of the entirely seperate colin wallace clockwork orange allegations that came out at roughly the same time i did pop a 'see also' to clockwork orange already hi i was unfamiliar with the colin wallace allegations i only came across holroyd on the page for holroyd i just included what was mentioned about nairac long speech some of which i didnt photocopy there was other stuff in his speech the nairac stuff quoted alludes to some of it but i will post the other references below it his complaint which eventually led to his removal from the army and an attempt to discredit him which has been largely successful was made when the mi operation was taken over by mi in 'by many of the same people who are dealt with in peter wright's book spycatcher and many of the same people who are alleged to have ben practising treason against the elected labour government of the time' it miami showband massacre took place in the midst of the ceasefire that had been negotiated by the then labor government and the ira the right hon member for morley and leeds south mr rees pushed it through and sustained it although there was a considerable opposition from within the security services and within many political parties the labour government did everything possible to make the ceasefire work but it was not wholly accepted within the appartus of mi our operatuves who alledegly were working on behalf of the british state in northern ireland then later in the speech livingstone says we saw in last sunday's edition of the observer that another intelligence officer colin wallace who was closely linked with fred holroyd in a campaign to expose what was going on has been dismissed as irrelevant by the british government we see now that the observer using forensic tests has been able to demonstrate that the notes that he wrote were not written in the past couple of years by somebody who is embittere and is trying to cash in on what has started to come out then later wallace and holroyd are making these quite specific allegations that is all i have on it now but i will check holroyds book next week and see exactly what he alledges then update on your talk page hows that
