Great blog! You probably already know this, but I still find it shocking and interesting that secret police photographic surveillance (used first by Scotland Yard) was originated during the militant Suffrage campaign in the early 20th century. Good article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3153024.stm.

Hi, great article. The history of the Secret Service both in the US and the UK has always fascinated me. Ever since Reilly, Ace of Spies.

Very Interesting. I’ve spent some time reading the history of US intelligence services but not foreign. Thanks.
