Czech agent claims 15 Labour MPs met spies as Ken Livingstone and John McDonnell deny claims

Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell and Jeremy Corbyn were part of a group of at least 15 senior Labour figures who shared information with Eastern bloc agents, it is claimed.

Jan Sarkocy, a former Czechoslovak spy, described the MPs as “great sources” to himself or his colleagues in the KGB.

The new claims come after he said on Friday that the Labour leader had shared information with the Communist Czechoslovak regime.

Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Sarkocy claimed that:

Mr Livingstone also discussed information with the Czechoslovak regime;
The future London mayor made frequent visits to the Czechoslovak embassy, where he drank whisky;
Mr McDonnell met a KGB agent on several occasions;...

Wolf I don’t understand why you keep doing those silly emoticons. Do you not believe the story?

The "Eastern bloc" ceased to exist in the late 1980s/early 90s...

The USSR ceased to exist in 1991;
Czechoslovakia split into two in 1993..

And the KGB was dismantled and reformed and replaced during the 1990s.


So, then,  when exactly was all this "spying" taking place;   1990 ?  1985  ? 1980 ?

The claim is not exactly incredible. We know these people listed have been very anti-British and to the west.

Both Corbyn and Madonald were IRA supporters

Corbyn has called Hamas and Hezbollahh his friends. Even hailed the Islamic Republic of Iran

Who knows if they did actually spy, but it lends weight to what is already known about these radical marxists.

They have little care for the UK, they only care about enforcing their political beliefs.

Its all the hallmarks of totalitarianism

I mean, what people need to ask is why Corbyn even associates himself with such hateful groups?

Because unlike Churchill, he is like Chamberlain and bows down to fear.

He believes appeasing hateful extremists will save this country from any harm. As seen Chamberlain was utterly naive to think the Nazi's had peaceful intentions and that his fear led to appeasing the Nazi's.

How utterly wrong was he?

Both wanted to submit to fear, when they should stand up to such hate and threats of violence.

Did you see Ben’s links about Corbyn in the other thread? Most interesting.

I did Eddie and agree with Ben's views

In other words anyone anti-Trump, should be anti-Corbyn

Corbyn has been an MP since 1983 and Livingstone, a former Mayor of London, was first elected to Parliament in 1987. There has been speculation about their links with former USSR and Eastern Bloc countries et seq.(not to mention known terrorist organisations) for donkeys' years...way back to my time in newspaper journalism.

McDonnell was first elected as a MP in 1997, but had been a trade union official and Labour activist for many years before that. He's also an avowed Marxist, so although I knew nothing about him until relatively recently the current revelations come as no surprise to me.

Just because you are in denial does not mean that they are untrue.

Corbyn was known to the commies as a "useful idiot" !

Ah but what LW fanatic wants to go against a LW politician?
That’s why people turn a blind eye. To a lot of things.
