Didn't the last spy who published his memoirs turn into a cross dressing David Icke follower?

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

^I dunno', I saw him the newspapers, his ex-girlfriend thought he had had a nervous breakdown and his parents thought he had been zapped with a fry-your-brains ray gun by the secret service. I never bothered to read his book, having been stung with sheer boredom the first time around with an illicit copy of Spycatcher.

^No, it was about ten years ago, he went rogue and now he's a cross dressing believer in the lizard people resplendent in drag in a hostel for homeless people. Public school boy an all, guvnor.

That's him, he's lost all creditability now. But isn't that what they want us to think?

I'm with the he's been zapped by the nutty creating ray gun. You couldn't go more off your head if you tried.

Nothing wrong with cashing in (or out) after a long distinguished career. All the greats did it.

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

My recent post in Style Forum:

In anticipation of viewing the latest version of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy now at theaters,
I viewed the original BBC production starring Alec Guiness. For me, along with the
sequel Smiley's People, it is one of the great TV programs of recent decades.
In terms of style, Tinker, Tailor...captures the range of mens clothing style worn by
serious professionals of the period. I exclude "disco" here. What especially struck me
were the suits worn by Smiley and several of his colleagues which could easily pass
for contemporary Savile Row productions: Three piece formal suits with narrow trousers,
often double- breasted, in contrast to the wider lapels and trousers then prevalent; longish
overcoats, double, and single-breasted, some with velvet collars. The clothing also reflected
the class origins of the different members of the "Circus," with the exception of two
upper-class characters, who departed somewhat from this uniform. Smiley himself,
looked like an advertisement for "soft tailoring"
