Russians will use Olympics to flood Britain with spies, claims Liam Fox

Liam Fox last night sparked a row with Russia after claiming that the Kremlin was planning to use next year’s London Olympics as cover to flood Britain with spies.
The former Defence Secretary warned that Britain was powerless to prevent some ‘very unsavoury individuals’ entering the country under the guise of protecting Russia’s athletics team.
Dr Fox – privy to highly classified material from the intelligence services before he was forced to resign from the Cabinet in October – is one of the most senior political figures to speak publicly about the threat to Britain from Russia’s resurgent espionage activity. Last night, the Kremlin accused Fox of ‘paranoia’.
And in further controversial remarks, Dr Fox criticised the cost of the Games, arguing that the Trident nuclear programme was better value for money.
Dr Fox told an audience of Hammersmith and Fulham Conservatives: ‘We face a very large number of FSB agents [Russia’s successor organisation to the KGB] coming to London during the Olympics, including some very unsavoury individuals.

Wow, paranoid much? I'm pretty sure every country has their spies in every other country they want to be spying on. They don't need some cover like this to do it.

Maybe it was a very good idea for him to step down after all. I don't really want such a crackpot in charge of military spending.
