I normally keep out of political threads of whatever stripe but, solely on the basis that I like a cheap laugh, I thought this worthy of a larger audience.
The National Archives have released papers relating to the
Portland Spy Ring which betrayed secrets to Ivan at a time when the Cold War could suddenly have turned very hot.
Quote:
The Portland spies were controlled by Konon Trofimovich Molody, a Soviet agent posing as a Canadian businessman named Gordon Lonsdale — an identity stolen from a dead child.
As cover, he sold Trump bubble gum machines to various pubs in London.
