  • They were part of the most notorious spy ring in British history: Burgess and Maclean - names now synonymous with treachery. For over half a century, internal Foreign Office files on the pair have remained hidden - locked away in a secret archive in the home counties. But tonight Channel 4 News, for the first time, can publish some of these documents, which lay bear the ignorance of the British establishment about their activities.

    Driberg and Burgess on the town in Moscow. I imagine the KGB kept tabs on them!

    This was a classic mistake of classisism and naïvete, it was sincere amongst SIS and MI5 staff. This was one tiny accident in their long and successful history. The British have always been known to be open, pragmatic and experimental - it's why they're so successful and well regarded.

    "During my youth in the 1930s, two paths were presented to me---the rank appeasement of nazis by PMs Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain or the opposition of USSR. But for the power of the USSR and the Communist idea, the whole world would now be ruled by hitler and hirohito. It is a matter of great pride to me that I was invited at so early an age, to play my infinitesimal part in building up that power. How, where and when I became a member of the Soviet intelligence service is a matter to myself and my comrades. I will only say that when the proposition was made to me, I did not hesitate. One does not look twice at an offer of enrollment in an elite force."-----MY SILENT WAR by Kim Philby
