Corbyn might not have had "secrets" as in "government secrets" but he could well have been feeding useful information about the nuclear disarmament campaign and the Labour Party's internal debate on that to Communist regimes. Referencing "exaggeration" by E bloc operatives in the UK, that cannot be assessed in this particular case without further investigation. <br /><br />2. So what. Maybe he wasn't 'under control', or 'taskable'. That doesn't mean he wasn't a source of useful insider information on the nuclear disarmament campaign. <br /><br />3. The naivety comment is meaningless. What's are we supposed to conclude from that? A naive person can easily pass on useful information to one's adversaries. <br /><br />PS. Do we really think our intelligence services are all seeing and all knowing after the dodgy dossier, counter-terrorism failures and numerous other episodes of incompetence.Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
