A bit more info today at the Spycops inquiry about HN20 “Tony Williams” infiltrating LWG and apparently editing and designing the bulletin from 1982.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Also about how he was our 'publicity manager' ROFL.

According to his witness statement his deployment in the SDS ended in October 1982. All of the bulletins between June 1980 and 1982 were coordinated by the same person. It was not him.

I imagine in his reports to his managers at the time he was attempting to justify what had turned out to be a pretty cushy gig by inflating his roles.

Ah! Good to know about the timeframes and lack of involvement in the bulletins. Being paid to go to LWG meetings does indeed seem like a cushy number….
