George Blake the notorious double agent has died in Moscow, aged 48. Good riddance to a dirty piece of ****. He betrayed Britain and cost the lives of countless British agents. How British security could be so utterly incompetent to be oblivious to his activities and then, eventually, having had him put in jail for 42 years, let him escape after just five. Amazing how our intelligence services went from sheer brilliance during WW2 to woeful incompetence just a few years later in the Cold War. RIH.
