SYND 21 11 79 FORMER RUSSIAN SPY ANTHONY BLUNT INTERVIEW 

Ha ha, I was trying to find the speech Thatcher gave in the House of Commons revealing Blunt's duplicity.

Me

Joseph Logue unfortunately there are no televised pmqs until the late 1980s when it was made official. There is a audio recording of the statement of the Falklands. But if researched there should be minutes recorded.

Look what I’ve found. A recorded statement. I didn’t know that! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FmfaIC2iF2A.html

@@Watermillfilms Great find!

Me too

That could easily have been you sitting there giving that interview, you spineless muppet. You think your tiny island had clean hands during that period, you small brained nit wit?

As a spy he knows an uncomplicated direct lie confidently delivered is always more believable.

No

@@-ShootTheGlass- Riveting response.

It's Classified ;-)

Haven't read it but have read it's a sensational account with all that implies. A more serious treatment is Anthony Blunt: His Lives -by Miranda Carter.

How about Spycatcher by Peter Wright? Or Their Trade is Treachery by Chapman Pincher?

If he hadn't you'd be complaining that he wouldn't face a public interview!

@@crose7412 Mandy misspelled "balls".

Surprised the queen said that during the show.. is that the punishment for spies in UK or USA

Well said.

Where his parents unmarried?

EVERYTHING about the Royals is swept under the carpet, the abticated king who was a real Nazi and was going to come back to "rule us" If the Germans won the war, Princess Margret sleeping with pop stars, film stars and common thugs without a care what the Russians had on her, Mountbatten a terrible officer who lost thousands of lives because he was usless in command. Prince Harry,s real father and god knows what else

Not true, he said he had bitter regrets and acknowledged himself to have been totally wrong.

@@drcornelius8275 So if you follow 'the state' rather than your conscience you would have made a first rate Nazi or a Russian Communist during the purges . People like you absolutely cannot be trusted.

kal 61 I think that it’s safe to say the most reasonable place to be is in the middle. Yes, blind loyalty to the state is bad, but so is treason. The best place is not to betray your government, but to make clear when you disagree with it.

@@tayetrotman If your government is busily constructing the Third Reich then treason is an absolute moral imperative .

@@calum66 Huh? I’d agree that if your govt is completely evil then morally, you should not support it. However, I wasn’t really commenting on any specific govt. I was just making a general statement that you should not be blindly loyal to the govt, but at the same time committing treason is generally not favourable because the vast majority of states can be reformed, and treason can cost lives as well as make it harder for a govt to do its proper job (i.e to govern and protect the citizens). Anthony Blunt cost the lives of British agents through his treason because he disagreed with the economic views of western society. He also undermined attempts by the British govt to learn what the USSR, which was actively attempting to undermine western countries and if possible incite a revolution that would lead to totalitarian communist rule. The UK was not the Third Reich.

Traitor.

Great Poussin specialist.

Beautiful Man

a traitor his art is sidebar. As for his anti fascism argument it's nonsense. He passed many secrets and undoubtedly put the lives of agents in danger. Like all traitors he was an accomplished liar . Personally I think the gallows would have been too good for him.

@@chrisalexander2729 How would you know

@@lynnemurphy114 How would I know what ? That he's a traitor ? From his own mouth.

And many better.

yeah. honestly in the context of WW2, and the crimes of the Soviets were not really well known, it looks far worse today than it would have at the time.

Boris Johnson

Bet you are great at parties …

Leon Hughes Happily you'll never find out. Any intelligent rebuttal regarding what I said, or are you sticking to a reheated insult we've all used loads of times?

@@jonelson1983 Take it as insult if you wish or maybe ponder a little self-reflection. A relatively obscure piece of espionage legacy from over 40 years ago is just that. Coming onto a thread where people are taking the effort to learn a piece of that history (going to the source material suggests an acceptance that the Crown is not as good as source material in itself) should be applauded, and not responded to with a snobbish and dismissive comment. Lighten up and who knows? you may get invited to a few more parties…

"taken"

​@thewrongscreening.2867 Cambridge Five intelligence during the Second World War proved decisive in the defeat of Germany on the Eastern Front. Philby and Caincross provided intelligence that allowed the Soviets to blunt German offensive at Kursk thereby turning the tide of the war. Cold War is another story.

His country, not all of his friends.

He betrayed no one and served his nation in the armed forces and was true to his beliefs. Fascists are traitors but those wanting social justice are true patriots.

@@antoniosilvestro2494 _"He betrayed no one "_ Blunt betrayed his country and admitted his guilt. Something which gave him "deep regret". Even he'd disagree with your preposterous comment.

@@antoniosilvestro2494 Claiming that the Soviets and their moles were into "Social Justice" specifically is ridiculous, especially as the USSR was one of the most unfree and homophobic societies at the time.

Education doesn’t equate elocution, and vice-versa.

A traitor to his country.

@@jaisbrennan7696 the soviet system worked for people. The british system is directed at benefiting the rich. He made the correct choice

@@artemesaulkov2010 I'm sure you have contempt for Russians who betrayed their country. Stop having a double standard.

@@jaisbrennan7696 i condemn them firstly, for betraying socialism

@@artemesaulkov2010 Traitors are bad regardless of ideology.

Why would you love a traitor?

Well you speak german now if not for some

Comrade Hellas why you say that?

@@mariovasquez7672 He's a dedicated communist.

Spying is treason. Treason is nasty.

Don't be even more stupid than you look.

Why?

He’s no hero, he’s a traitor to his country!

he was a traitor...

You have a ruusian accent
