Eric Roberts, born in Wivelsfield, East Sussex, in 1907, served as agent Jack King to infiltrate UK fascist groups while working at Westminster Bank for the Euston Road branch. In 1968 MI5 contacted Eric after British intelligence officer Kim Philby and those who were part of the Cambridge Spy Ring. Philby was exposed as a double agent who passed information to the Soviet Union during the war. It relates how MI5 fooled dozens of British fascists into believing they were spying for Germany. The group discovered he had given a false job and address however Eric told how he was 'able to set their mind at ease'.
