Autobiography – “A
Squalid End to Empire: British Retreat from Africa”
I
witnessed this. The truth was concealed from the British people. I thought one
family should hold true to Britain’s
proclaimed values and hopefully reveal all to the peoples of Africa,
the victims of so much cruelty and injustice inflicted by totally dishonest and
criminal British political leaders.
My story
is being told in Africa. It is free and now
has a life of its own, thanks to some great African journalists, and
particularly Baffour Ankomah.
We have had a rough old ride
since 1956 when I refused orders and took a stand for civilised
values in Africa. This is the tale of one British family’s odyssey.

(1) War
The History of Britain is the History of War. Britain is
always at war somewhere. At half time it wages war on its own people. Mr Blair is at war with his Party - as were Kinnock, Wilson
and Gaitskell. This site is an in-depth study of a secret, dirty war on
Nigerian nationalists, which caused the deaths of three million innocent,
Commonwealth citizens.
This was the biggest of the many, dirty, bloody British
wars since 1945. Both the Conservative and Labour and Liberal
leadership cliques work together to plan and operate and cover up all this
mayhem with total press, media, and establishment co-operation.
The Iraq
war is nothing new. Just another chapter in regime change abroad, a.k.a.
British Foreign Policy for centuries. All student radicals should be put down
because they always end up like Jack Straw clones. Total cynicism? No, but we
can see it from Widbrook, England.

(2) Plea for British Honour
Information is sought by former British Government senior
civil servant Harold Smith (Nigeria 1955-1960) regarding British treason,
including the rigging of Nigeria's
Independence Elections, circa 1960.
British officials served with great honour
and distinction in Nigeria.
This African giant was governed superbly by a small number of dedicated public
servants, who often made personal sacrifices in the course of their duties under
very trying conditions. (Harold Smith was struck down by a rare tropical
disease in 1960). This fine and truly splendid record of service by British
officials was sullied at Independence by Whitehall treachery, which destroyed the careful nurturing
of democracy in Nigeria and
blighted Nigeria's
future. The potentially great African democracy was doomed by these squalid
machinations to a future of military coups, assassinations and the horrendous
Biafran Civil War, which cost, says the UN, three million lives.
Sadly, many old Nigeria hands, whose great
contributions were largely ignored by historians, have died. Others have
recoiled in horror from Nigeria's
ghastly history since 1960. Yet it needs to be proclaimed that British
officials need feel no shame for their nation building prior to the tragically
flawed Independence.
The historical record of British achievements prior to Independence has been blighted by subsequent
events. We need to assess objectively what went wrong at Independence
(largely as a consequence of treasonable political interference from Westminster) in order
that the sterling contribution of British officials may be recorded for
posterity.
Permission to publish this material was sought and granted
by the Cabinet Office and D-Notice Committee, subject to an agreement that no
Secret Service officials should be named. May I request correspondents to
respect my obligation in this matter and to kindly withhold such personal
details. Cabinet Office letters of March/April 1993, reference A093/927/1152/1281,
and Ministry of Defence letter DM/1712/DPBC of 13
January 1993 refer.
