Operation Clockwork Orange - Secret Military Coup Against British Prime Minister [View all]
In June 1974, British troops suddenly took over Heathrow Airport in London. Prime Minister Harold Wilson was not informed. Wilson suspected that this was the latest action in a plot against him by a shadowy conspiracy of intelligence agents, retired senior military officers and right-wing journalists including such famous figures as Lord Mountbatten, the current King Charles III's great-uncle. Many suspected that Harold Wilson was a Soviet agent. Was Wilson right to fear a military coup, something hitherto unheard of in modern Britain? Evidence suggests he may have been right.
