Chapman Pincher: Barking

'Spycatcher' Chapman Pincher was mad as a lorry.
He thought there was some secret cabal of communist pooves at MI5/6 - the Homintern - all recruited by Anthony Blunt, or something.
If only.
His most hilarious claim was that Labour MP Tom Driberg - a notorious cottager and the most indiscreet gay man who ever stepped - was a Soviet agent.
Probably also thought Harold Wilson was a bummer, but didn't get round to making a book about that up.
What a twot.

“The columns of the Daily Express are a kind of official urinal where high officials of MI5 and MI6 stand side by side patiently leaking... Mr Pincher is too self-important and light-witted to realise how often he is being used.” E P Thompson.
