I'm not a Brit but I've gotten the sense that Kim Philby is to the leftists in Britain what Alger Hiss was to the leftists in the USA. That is they are angry to this day that he was caught and they periodically will jump up about how he was railroaded and all that.

I suppose video of him teaching spycraft to the communists ought to make it hard to defend. But they probably will because they are leftists and truth means nothing.

This is incorrect. He was a Soviet double agent, not a British double agent.

Pity he died just before The Fall.

"...after all our work does imply getting dirty hands from time to time but we do it for a cause that is not dirty in any way," Philby explains.

I'm hearing this argument a lot in politics these days. It isn't really much more than "the end justifies the means," as if that never works the other way.

Cambridge educated, part of the old boy network. British authorities were warned years before he went over to the Soviet Union that he was a commie, but did nothing. He had a history of communist activity at Cambridge in his early years, and his first wife was a hardline communist activist but that wasn’t enough to raise any flags.

The BBC throwing one of their own under the bus? How droll.
