Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Secret service operations are costly. Flooding working class estates with smack/crack is also costly. Some one has to buy the smack/crack to bring into Ireland. Along the way many palms must be greased. Setting up smack/crack/vice operations all costs money you know. Where does this money come from? the public purse of course. Infiltrating anti capitalist organisations, takes money too, setting up new identities, giving people whole new personas, lifestyles, histories, jobs etc. things like this dont come cheap. Agents must be trained up to the highest standard, they must live and breath their role, in order to gain the trust of others in the infiltrated organisations. Placing agents within unions, within work places, factories etc all costs dosh.
Now, come on, "Secret agents"?
There are no secret agents.
The secret "Special Agent" at Shannon told me so.
(although he wouldn't tell me his name, or agency)
in case it wasn't clear in the article, the guy was Irish and said he was working for the Irish government.
2 MI5/6 FRU operatives, sold smack in brixton in the 1980's to punks/anarchists etc, amongst their customers, a certain actor and actress, four weddings and a funeral say no more. the smack selling couple then turned up in belfast in the early 1990's and set up their smack pushing operations in hatfield st, lower ormeau. They were only busted in 1999, although the pigs were well aware of their operations for many years, the female of the couple was training to be a probation officer!, and through her training to become a probation officer worked in youth clubs across north and west belfast, whilst still taking smack, and selling smack, presumably to young people at those youth clubs. the male of the couple was arrested for drunk driving, but continued to drive unchallenged for some time, under the influence of smack and drink, untill he was arrested for importing smack into northern ireland. Surprise, surprise he is now out of the slammer, released to continue he vital work for the intelligence services.
