Lobster is one of the more obscure parapolitical journals in Britain. On the other hand, journalists routinely call them when fishing for leads, because Robin Ramsay has done his homework. "Journalism is not about research. They don't have time to read background so they rely on others," says Ramsay, who gets weary of being a free information service for Fleet Street.
One recent issue, for example, had a dense 11-page article on the
Moonies, WACL, and the Korean CIA, topped off with 262 expansive end notes
and a bibliography with 169 sources. Not exactly your tea-and-crumpets
fare. Their Who's Who special edition has thumbnail bios of almost 2,000
British spooks, compiled by Stephen Dorril from reference works at the local
public library. Ramsay doesn't make enough from sales to cover his labor.
This sounds familiar to us at PIR, so we recommend everything they publish.
