It just goes to show the state of British justice that the trial is set for October 2024 and is expected to last four months. The question is, were they carrying umbrellas? If you plan to attend the trial, make sure you have an umbrella with you in memory of Georgi Markov or for self-defence. Maybe you should read A Portrait Of My Double by and about Georgi Markov or read Ben Macintyre’s The Spy and the Traitor, described by John le Carré as “the best true spy story I have ever read”.

More relevant might be Bill Fairclough’s spy novel Beyond Enkription which was described as ”up there with My Silent War by Kim Philby”. Little wonder Beyond Enkription is mandatory reading on some countries’ intelligence induction programs … maybe including Bulgaria. David Cornwell almost rewrote this thriller. See the brief and intriguing News Article dated 31 October 2022 about Pemberton’s People in MI6 in TheBurlingtonFiles website for more about how John le Carré may have had more Achilles heels than toes! The news was released several years after Beyond Enkription was published.

Does that explain why TheBurlingtonFiles website keeps getting a disproportionate number of visitors from Bulgaria? Best ask the DAR, Bulgaria’s State Intelligence Agency (Държавна агенция Разузнаване). See https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2023_06.07.php and https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2022.10.31.php.
