The whole thing was a commie plot organised and financed from Moscow.

Ah, Harold Wilson.


Well, he was suspectedby MI5 of being a commie/subversive taking
orders from Moscow, so maybe.

I had thought Wilson was supposed to be responsible for giving Rolls
Royce jet engines to the USSR but Wikipedia blames Stafford Cripps and
if the year was 1946 the date is probably too early for Wilson to have
been involved.


he was a senior civil servant at the end of WW2 at the Ministry of Fuel &
Power and he became President of the Board of Trade in 1947. No - it wasn't
too early for him to be involved.
