'Former' MI6 officer Christopher Steele decides to go on holiday
[Telegraph] A former MI6 officer who produced a dossier making lurid allegations about Donald Trump is "terrified for his safety" after he was unmasked by a US publication.

Christopher Steele, 52, fled from his home in Surrey on Wednesday morning after realising it was only a matter of time until his name became public knowledge. A source close to Mr Steele said on Wednesday night that he now fears a prompt and potentially dangerous backlash against him from Moscow.

Mr Steele, the co-founder of London-based Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd, prepared a 35-page document that alleges the Kremlin colluded with Mr Trump’s presidential campaign and that the Russian security services have material that could be used to blackmail him, including an allegation that he paid prostitutes to defileda bed that had been slept in by Barack and Michelle Obama.
His research was initially funded by anti-Trump Republicans, and later by Democrats.
A tawdry tale very likely concocted at one of three locations mentioned at #1. My guess is the RVT on a cocktail napkin, but that's simply my guess.
Mr Trump has branded the allegations in the dossier "fake" and has said he feels as though he is living in Nazi Germany.

#1 

Conveniently located. From OBI Ltd at Grosvenor Gardens, take the A302 to Vauxhaul Bridge Road to the Thames and your looking at it (MI6 Headquarters), about two km. A bit further down and you'll be at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT)...wink, wink. If you've gone beyond the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, you've gone too far. No pun intended.

I thought MI6 were hard core? Paging 007!

#4 So...I'm guessing Rantburg doesn't have a policy against posting people's home addresses. I just sort of thought it did. I guess I need to check more carefully the terms & conditions next time before I start participating on a website.
You are correct Mr. Lumumba. No private residential addresses are posted here.

#5 Mate - it's fine to take issue with other people's behaviours; we try to draw lines at certain unseemly behaviours, even if the Rantburg staff let me post comments about tossing half of these pricks into half-frozen rivers. I think you can draw your own conclusions from there.

#6 He should be terrified for his financial safety.
That company is bust now customers know it just makes up shit from 4chan and passes it off as information.

#8 Oh, so office addresses are OK? Inciting harassment is still inciting harassment.

#10 Thanks for the map recce and correction BP. Ranging was never my strong point and obviously there's been no improvement. Correction made. If sensibilities are disturbed and someone thinks the map is a bit too illustrative, I'll gladly return it to the Rantburg Univ. Cartographer's Library. No pride in ownership

As for comments at #8; I would vehemently discourage attempts at 'harassment' in the vicinity of any of those location.

#11 The real reason he has "gone into hiding" is because he did not expect he would be exposed as the author of the smear and is running from any inquisitions.

Play book of the Left. Public records. We didn't start this war, but are not afraid to use the tactics already employed by 'others'. Now about the bus loads of paid demonstrators showing up at people's homes.....

#14 Steele is probably worried that someone on the left will whack him before he has a chance to be questioned about the funding and the sources.

The left doesn't want anyone to know all of this was pulled out of some delusional lefty blog and fabricated much like the phony National Guard reports on George W.

#15 He'll probably be OK if he stays away from Fort Marcy Park.

#16 I actually have his full LinkedIn somewhere.

Which I think I'll delete rather than post.

#17 Thumper @#8:
If you had looked at the Telegraph UK link, you'd have seen a video that they posted of the press camped out at Steele's business.
Complain to them.
