Paddy Ashdown's MI6 connection is not news.
And the formal confirmation of it calls to mind the fact that a couple of weeks ago, he said this on BBC radio:
"The failure to put pressure on the Gulf States – and especially Saudi Arabia and Qatar – first of all to stop funding the Salafists and Wahhabists; secondly to play a larger part in this campaign, and other actions where the Government has refused to have a proper inquiry into the funding of jihadism in Britain, leads me to worry about the closeness between the Conservative Party and rich Arab Gulf individuals."
We need to pay attention.
