Most promising original work in parapolitics is probably this comment: http://crookedtimber.org/2013/04/10/britain-since-the-seventies-impressionistic-thoughts/#comment-461573 - which discussed the possibility that MI5 or other covert right-wing forces influenced the precipitation the so-called Winter of Discontent in a specific way.

Runs the "Surely Some Mistake?" blog.

Interested both in parapolitics (the study of politics and political history that acknowledges the role of criminality, covert action and in particular the 'security' agencies). Also interested in the rhetoric and methods used to marginalise and discredit 'conspiracy theories' and 'conspiracy theorists'.

Regular commenter on the Crooked Timber blog, with a self-imposed, and Herculean if not outright Sisyphean, brief of attempting to influence 'liberal' and left academic opinion towards a more realistic approach to such matters, if that doesn't sound too pompous.
