In Addlestone, James Harcourt-Heath, a final year Maths student at King’s College, Cambridge, is recruited by the British Secret Services, Section MI5. His first assignment is to infiltrate a Trinity College based secret society called The Apostles. John Maynard Keynes, Bursar of King’s, believed the society’s members were Marxists, aiming to align the UK with the Soviet Union. At James’s first meeting he met Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Kim Philby, and John Cairncross. After they graduated from Cambridge, all five secured sensitive and high-ranking positions within the British government; Maclean, Burgess, and Cairncross at the Foreign Office, Philby at MI6 and Blunt at MI5. All passed classified information to the KGB during WWII and continued to do so during the Cold War period in the 1950s.
Does this remind anyone of the stolen files Donald J Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago and then refused to give up to the FBI? It is clear he retained these documents for a reason and doubtless has more secreted in the hidden closet in his bedroom and in the locked storeroom that the Secret Service failed to access when they had a subpoena to search his private club. He regularly praises dictators such as Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orbán, and Xi Jinping. Did he take copies with a purpose and has he passed them or sold them on to the enemies of the United States? Perhaps we will never know.
