 Three Years of "MI5. Persecution" Faxes 
  
 Ten. Thousand Faxes, and Still No Breakthrough 
  
 In the last three years I have sent at least. 5,301 faxes directly from my 
 computer, and 4,478 faxes. through Demons extremely useful TPC.INT service, 
 to politicians and the. media, in the subject of the "MI5 
 Persecution". This has obviously cost me quite a lot of money,. not to 
 mention time and effort.. The aim of all this communication has been to try 
 to put. discussion of the "MI5 persecution" into the public 
 arena; unfortunately,. this aim has not been achieved, yet. 
  
 This fax will be my last transmission for the time being, since the. summer 
 recess is almost upon. us. Depending on what the persecutors do between now 
 and the autumn, I may. or may not resume faxing later this year. In the 
 article dated 18/6/99 I said Id. stop the articles if MI5 left me 
 alone; but they seem to have no fear. of these articles, since they kept 
 pursuing me in Poland and after my return to the UK. Again, if they. leave 
 me alone this summer then I wont. have to resume the articles in the 
 autumn; but I think its. fairly obvious that MI5 have nothing better to do 
 with their time than to go after me, and its almost pointless to. make this 
 offer when I know they wont cease harassing. me. 
  
 TPC.INT 1996, 1997,. 1998..... 
  
 Three years ago I was living in Canada, and the only economic. way of 
 sending faxes to. the UK was through the international email-to-fax gateway 
 TPC.INT. This highly useful and totally free service converts. emails 
 (which. may have Postscript-formatted attachments) into faxes which it 
 delivers to any number within the UK.. Using the telephone book, I 
 constructed a computer database of. M.P.s fax numbers, and used this 
 database to deliver copies of the "FAQ -. frequently asked 
 questions" article which Id written some. time earlier. 
  
 This service is still operational, but. given that I have resided in London 
 for the last year,. I do not need to use Demons service when I can send 
 articles directly from my own. computer using its fax/modem, which is what 
 I have been doing since. 1998. However, instead of just sending the FAQ 
 article, Ive been composing. articles on various aspects of MI5s treatment 
 of me.. Since their activities have been going on for nine years now, and 
 there have been various aspects to their actions; they have harassed me. at 
 work, at home, through. the media, etc; I have so far not run out of things 
 to say, particularly since their harassment of me is still. ongoing, and I 
 have been able to record the actual words used by their. paid agents on my 
 minidisc-walkman. Since. mid-March 1999 I have been sending these articles 
 pretty much. every weekend. 
  
 Anyway,. as mentioned above, I intend this to be the final transmission 
 before the. summer recess, and it would be nice not to have to continue 
 these articles in the autumn.. But thats something that depends on them, 
 not me, and their. attitude is unfortunately clear. 
  
 Why am I sending these. articles? 
  
 Because I want the harassment to stop.. The cynical reader might think from 
 these articles that I. "thrive on adversity" and would be lost without the 
 harassment to complain about; but that is not the. case. In a perfect world 
 I would. like to return to work, in a job unsullied by MI5s attempts to 
 ruin it; I would like to live in a. house which wasnt bugged, with my words 
 being repeated. at me wherever I go; I would like a normal life. I do not 
 particularly. thrive on adversity; I am beaten down by adversity; the 
 purpose of. these faxes is to try to bring the whole matter out into the 
 public arena, where the rights and wrongs. would be visible to all, and 
 once that were to happen, the adversity might. cease. I have had something 
 approaching a normal life a couple of times in the last nine years,. but 
 always, in the end, MI5 turn up and ruin it. I just want. these people out 
 of my life, permanently, and the only way of. doing that is to kick this 
 business into the public. arena, and shame MI5 so that they are incapable 
 of. doing me further damage. 
  
 Having said that, unfortunately it seems. fairly obvious by now that these 
 faxed articles are. not going to achieve that aim. Some of the recipients 
 know what I am saying is true; but they choose. to stay quiet - wisely, 
 because if. they were to admit the truth of these articles, then they would 
 bring the wrath of MI5 down. on their heads. Presumably most recipients do 
 not know these articles are true; their reaction to me is the same. as my 
 reaction to the other. apparently deluded people who have sent me email 
 after reading my webpage to tell me it happened to them. too; the reaction 
 being, "leave me alone, I dont want to. know". Its sad that many M.P.s have 
 given me this reaction, because my case genuinely is. different; I 
 genuinely am. telling the truth, and the harassment genuinely is happening 
 to. me, and some recipients of this fax know this to be true. 
  
 "Write to. your own M.P." 
  
 My local. M.P. is Mr Keith Hill, Labour-Streatham. He refuses to have 
 anything to do with me. He. refuses to represent me, he refuses to talk to 
 me, he has told me not. to communicate with him. He has done absolutely 
 nothing to. help me, and he has told me he will do absolutely nothing to 
 help. me. 
  
 Other M.P.s, recipients of these. faxes, have for quite some time been 
 telling me, "write to your own M.P."..  On 23 March 1998, Paul Burstow 
 M.P. wrote to me; "Whilst I take the issues that. you raise seriously, 
 there is a strict Parliamentary. convention that one Member of Parliament 
 does not take up anothers casework. Can I suggest that you write to. your 
 own M.P. at the House. of Commons?"  Hopefully the above paragraph will 
 make clear that I have written to my. own M.P. and he has proved unhelpful. 
  
 Other M.P.s have told me the same thing. On 21 May. 1998, John McFall 
 M.P. told me, "... there is a parliamentary. convention that M.P.s do not 
 take up cases of people. not in their constituency..... therefore can I 
 suggest that. you write to your local M.P. who will be better able to 
 assist you."  And on 8 June 1998, Michael. Foster M.P. wrote to me that 
 "M.P.s are inundated with unsolicited faxes .... M.P.s have a. considerable 
 amount of constituent. work to deal with, thus other M.P.s constituents 
 cease to. be of concern in so far as they should have a voice and 
 representation". 
  
 Simon. Hughes M.P. wrote to me on 5 November 1998, "There is a strict 
 parliamentary convention which states that I am not able to. represent 
 individuals who are not constituents of mine. My advice. is that you find 
 out who your own Member of Parliament is. rather than circulating your 
 story to all M.P.s.". To my suggestion that Keith Hill M.P.. was doing 
 nothing to help me, George Foulkes M.P. sent the following. faxed 
 response; "If Keith Hill your. own M.P. cannot help no-one else in the 
 House of Commons can." But it is clearly not a. case of "cannot" help, but
