#DearLove
Angus Dalgleish was part of a bizarre network of secretive retired right-wing Brexiteers uncovered by a Russian hacking operation.

Another member of the group was *former head of MI6* Richard Dearlove!

The former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove says Europe is no longer in a pre-war situation with Russia, but an actual war.

"I don't think there's any point in beating about the bush," Europe & the US are in a "very dangerous situation." "We are in an extraordinary situation historically."

⚡️Europe in 'actual war' with Russia, former UK intelligence chief says.

"I think we have to face up to the fact that the Russians think they're in a state of war with us," Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, told Sky News on Nov. 27.

Former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove has warned foreign states have their 'fingerprints' all over public service tech..

"For the sake of Britain’s national security this cannot continue...it risks overseas actors taking control of them (our critical infrastructure) at will.”

Dear me. Dearlove has become a complete and utter crank.

from time to time I think about the meeting between US Intel officials and head of MI6 Richard Dearlove in the aftermath of 9/11 where the Americans told Dearlove that if the NSA's headquarters were knocked out by terrorists America's intel systems around the world were in his hands

Former MI6 boss Sir Richard Dearlove has just accused @zackpolanski.bsky.social of being "a threat to national security".

I'd be concerned if someone as extravagantly dodgy as Sir Richard Dearlove had endorsed hlm.

Dearlove has himself done major & lasting harm to our national security.

Dearlove still appears to be flogging the same horse – with a minor name adjustment, swapping “Corbyn” for “Polanski.”

Richard Dearlove has always struck me as a curious creature for a spook, and is much more public and political in his outbursts than any other I can think of.

💥 Former MI6 boss Sir Richard Dearlove tells me:

“We have to face up to the fact that the Russians think they're in a state of war with us. Donald Tusk has referred to it as a pre-war situation. I think he's wrong. I think it's an actual war.”

"He's a guy with an integrity problem! He'd twice been removed from ministerial office."

How did Lord Mandelson blag his way through the ambassadorial vetting process?

Either by 'lying' or because of a 'massive misjudgement,' says former MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove.

This is Sir Richard Dearlove who ran MI6 when British intelligence was spinning a web of lies to get the UK into the murderous and illegal Iraq War. He also wanted the hardest possible Brexit. So he’s both blood soaked and an idiot. He is a danger to Britain’s interests.

Richard Dearlove was ranting on GB News about the UK govt decision to recognize Palestine.

Strangely he didn't disclose the fact that he retains close ties to Israeli intelligence.

Leaked emails show Dearlove contacted former Mossad chief Efraim Halevy in 2020...

FINALLY, a mainstream broadcaster (Tom Swarbrick) mentions this on air.

Even better, he asks the former head of MI6 (Richard Dearlove) about it, who confirms it.

I've read enough to believe that Putin is involved in the migrant boats.
