The Telegraph Launches Bed of Lies: Conflict—A Shocking New Podcast Series on The Troubles
The Telegraph has officially launched the highly anticipated third season of its award-winning investigative podcast, Bed of Lies: Conflict. This gripping series, hosted by acclaimed journalist Cara McGoogan, uncovers the hidden truths behind one of the most controversial and secretive chapters in British and Irish history—The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
As the release of the long-awaited Kenova Report into the activities of the notorious British agent known as Stakeknife approaches in March, Bed of Lies: Conflict sheds new light on the deeper, more extensive web of covert operations conducted by British intelligence during the conflict. The revelations in this series go beyond the case of Freddie Scappaticci, exposing a systemic pattern of collusion, deception, and cover-ups.
Shocking Revelations: The True Scale of British Agent Operations During The Troubles
This season of Bed of Lies offers exclusive insights into the scale of infiltration within both the IRA and loyalist paramilitaries. It features never-before-heard testimonies from families who lost loved ones, allegedly at the hands of state agents operating without accountability.
- The Scappaticci Connection – While the notorious agent Stakeknife—revealed to be Freddie Scappaticci—has been at the center of discussions, this series asserts that his activities were only a fraction of a much larger operation.
- Betrayal and Deception – Families affected by the actions of key loyalist agent Brian Nelson share their heart-wrenching stories, unveiling the extent of covert intelligence operations.
- Collusion Exposed – Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Lord Stevens provides critical insights from the Pat Finucane Inquiry, which unearthed extensive collaboration between the police, army, and paramilitary groups.
These revelations suggest that state-backed agents played a more significant role in orchestrating assassinations and sustaining the conflict than previously acknowledged.
