Spy boss: My row with author le Carre
Scottish Daily Express
|April 08, 2025
A FORMER MI6 chief has said he "physically" argued with John le Carre and accused the author of making betrayal the "currency of espionage" in his spy novels.
Sir Richard Dearlove, who headed the service from 1999 to 2004. said "trust and integrity" was needed in the shadowy world of intelligence.
Le Carre, the pen name of David Cornwell, was best known for his Cold War thrillers including The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. In them, he took a famously dim view of the activities of British intelligence.

Cowardly Keir is worst PM
I CAN'T decide whether Keir Starmer is terminally stupid or he just thinks we all are. I watched his rambling press conference this week - which was supposed to be about the government's £800million initiative to save the High Street (which wouldn't need saving if Wrecker Reeves hadn't taxed businesses to hell and back) - and concluded he's not just THE most disastrous PM in history he's also a morally bankrupt coward who is 100% self-serving and will do anything to cling on to power.
