The latest silly attempt by right-wing media barons to discredit Jeremy Corbyn as a Cold War spy, comes from the ever more ridiculous Telegraph’s Gordon Rayner.
Rayner has persuaded former MI6 boss Sir Richard Dearlove (no, I assure you that’s NOT a made-up name taken from a 1970s James Bond film) as the latest establishment figure to try to persuade the country that electing Corbyn as PM would be tantamount to electing Blofeld to Number 10:
The only problem is, in his bizarre article Rayner ‘forgets’ to mention that Dearlove is now an oil executive in a company with offshore funds under threat from a Corbyn government, an adviser to a neo-liberal right-wing thinktank and most interestingly of all, according to the Chilcot report was responsible for the infamous dodgy Iraq War dossier so strongly criticised by Corbyn:
Now, either Rayner is so incompetent he didn’t notice these inconvenient facts, or so corrupt he deliberately omitted to mention them.
So which is it Gordon?
Incompetence or corruption?

It could well be that Dearlove was the one who had the integrity to stand up to ministers
He told ministers in July 2002 that in the US “intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy”.
[Chilcot, in his televised statement, singled out for criticism Sir John Scarlett, the chair of JIC. But the then MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove, head of the spy agency from 1999 to 2004, is also criticised throughout the report, taking the rap for MI6’s faulty intelligence – https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/06/mi6-stood-by-bogus-intelligence-until-after-iraq-invasion ] – TOM

I have no further Insight into any dossiers etc, only to say that these reports from a source “ABC” be certain journalists are fed into the media feed like “chinese whispers”.
Although patently false they are then compounded. How can a person prove a falsehood. Only by proving that It’s Not True. To do that the person or persons need Facts.
Which Jeremy Corbyn has produced.

You’d better start being more careful with your sarcasm, Tom. If the government don’t find it amusing they’ll throw you in the same gaol as Golding and Fransen!
