TEHRAN, Nov 26_ With just over two weeks to go before the general election, the British security establishment has stepped up its campaign of demonization and intimidation of Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

Richard Dearlove attacks Corbyn for his political viewsTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_In the latest offensive, the former Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (better known as MI6), Richard Dearlove, has claimed that Corbyn would pose a “present danger to our country” should he become Prime Minister and gain access to state secrets.

Dearlove made the incendiary comments in an article for the Mail on Sunday, which is close to Britain’s security establishment.

Dearlove, who served in MI6 for 38 years, makes the extraordinary claim that Corbyn’s background and political orientation should preclude him from gaining access to classified information.

“Do not even think of taking the risk of handing this politician the keys to No 10 [Downing Street]”, Dearlove writes acerbically.
