Hello I’m Robinson, Harry Robinson, and recording from Oklahoma, 5,000 miles away from my usual setting, this is the All Out Attack Podcast.
My guest today is Annie Machon, a former MI5 intelligence officer who – in 1996, alongside her partner David Shayler – blew the whistle on numerous alleged crimes that MI5 had committed whilst they were there, from illegal phone taps, allowing preventable bombs to kill innocent people, and an assassination attempt on Colonel Gaddafi.
Annie and Shayler went on the run from MI5 for a month, before living in exile in France for two years until Shayler returned to the UK to be imprisoned.
Since then, Annie has become one of the fore-frontal voices on privacy and whistleblowing in the world, as well as working on the frontline on the war on drugs for the organization LEAP. With the expertise and eloquence you would expect a former intelligence officer to have, but with the friendliness that may not fit MI5’s stereotype, I sat down with a woman impassioned to educate the world. I hope you enjoy.
