Tony Robinson is a former Special Branch officer. He gave a "remarkably candid interview" to the BBC which was broadcast in 2002.[1]
Vetting of employees
Tony Robinson has suggested that Ford only agreed to invest in the giant manufacturing plant at Halewood on Merseyside because of a suspected secret deal with MI5 and the UK Special Branch that the entire workforce would be routinely vetted for political subversives.
Reporting on his orders to the BBC, Tony Robinson stated "My senior officer said: 'One of your responsibilities, Tony, is to make certain that the Ford factory is kept clean of subversives. And part of the plan drawn up was to make certain that work would carry on smoothly at Ford without the expected Merseyside disease of strikes and layoffs."[1]
VIPaedophile
In the late 1960s Lancashire police carried out several investigations into Cyril Smith's sexual behaviour with juveniles, compiling an 80-page file, and may have been ready to prosecute.[2] Tony Robinson told Dispatches that he found the file in a safe at police headquarters in Lancashire. He claimed he took a call in 1977 from ‘Box 500’, the police codeword for MI5, requesting the file be sent to them in London by special courier.[3]
