 MI5
Turning his attention to MI5 activity in Scotland, O'Hara focuses on three key points; the 1984 allegations of links between the Scottish National Liberation Army and the Irish National Liberation Army; the bizarre circumstances surrounding the death of Willie MacRae in April 1985, and the activities and arrest of Andrew McIntosh in 1993.
Much was made of MG's alleged connections with the Official National Front in the late 1980s, and O'Hara sums up his rejection of the theory simply by stating that he has "little time for that fantasy" (p.21).
Whilst O'Hara is quite correct in his assumption that the state seeks to influence and discredit the ALF, Animal Rights Militia, Hunt Saboteurs Association etal, he fails to address properly the Animal Liberation Front, stating that the ALF has "an unwavering commitment to non-violence" with specific exceptions.

 The Moro question
Sometimes different nations are politically united (or forced to unite) under a state that represents only the power of one nation’s ruling class (for instance, the United Kingdom, which politically unites the English, Scottish, and Welsh nations, plus part of the Irish nation, under the state power of the English ruling class).
It is partly because of this “national minority” framework that the national question in the Philippines has not been addressed separately from the overall struggle of the Philippine nation against the imperialist powers or from the struggle of the Philippine working class for socialism.
To argue that a racial or tribal group (i.e., those not possessing the four criteria of a nation) can be considered a nation is to further fragment national formation, or confuse their struggle for full equality and respect for their culture and race as a struggle towards an independent nation.
