Annie Machon

Annie Machon is a former intelligence officer for the UK Security Service, who resigned in the late 1990s to blow the whistle on the spies’ incompetence and
crimes with her ex-partner, David Shayler. She is now an intelligence expert, author and political campaigner who developed a rare perspective both on the inner workings of governments, intelligence agencies and the media, as well as the wider implications for the need for increased openness and accountability in both public and private sectors.
