 MI5 Persecution Update: Friday 11 June, 1999 
  
 Harassment in a pub in Clapham, Tuesday lunchtime 
  
 Once a month, or once every other month, I meet a Polish friends of mine 
 who lives in Clapham North, and sometimes we go to a particular pub near 
 where he lives. The last time was some two months ago; I did not have my 
 minidisc-walkman with me, and consequently was seriously harassed by 
 people MI5 had instructed to harass me, in the pub. 
  
 This Tuesday, 8 June 1999, we again went to the same pub for a pre-meal 
 drink. This time I did have my minidisc-walkman with me. As you can guess, 
 we were followed into the pub by a couple of young people (Im getting 
 older and older - isnt it funny how the MI5 agents all look young these 
 days?). They started talking about my situation, in particular some travel 
 I had booked the previous day. Unfortunately, they were talking fairly 
 quietly, and my minidisc didnt pick up their speech. 
  
 MI5s schizophrenic reasoning is that simultaneously I am very important 
 and worthy of their acts of persecution, and I am also totally unimportant 
 and their abuse of me "doesnt matter". Perhaps they should test their 
 agents and managers for obsessive personalities or psychotic features in 
 the same way as employees are drug-tested. MI5 might lose their "worst 
 cases" employees if some psychological testing were applied to their 
 recruitment procedure. 
  
 Toothless Watchdogs. What a Surprise. 
  
 Recently I have been engaging in communications with two watchdogs, the 
 Security Service Tribunal which deals with complaints against the security 
 service (and always clears MI5 of any wrongdoing), and the Data Protection 
 Registrar, which is mandated to investigate misuse of personal data held 
 on computer. 
  
 In a letter to Nick Brooks, Security Service Tribunal secretary, dated 20 
 April, I asked him if the Tribunal, as an allegedly independent body, had 
 the means to investigate complaints against MI5 other than asking MI5 to 
 themselves investigate complaints. To my disappointment, his reply two 
 weeks later answered the question only indirectly, in the 
 negative. Whatever the reader might think of the merits of the case I have 
 been putting before you in faxed articles this last year and half, you 
 will surely recognise that it is a significant anomaly for the Tribunal to 
 have no independent means of investigating complaints, particularly given 
 the view expressed even by previous home secretaries that the security 
 services are untrustworthy. 
  
  
  
 MI5 Persecution: No Justice for the Victims of MI5 
  
 In a previous article I detailed the similarities between the current MI5 
 Persecution in England, and other historical instances of similar 
 persecution, notably that by the Nazi Germans in the thirties and 
 forties. The Germans persecuted first the mentally ill, the epileptics and 
 those suffering from schizophrenia, then moved on to racial groups; in 
 todays Britain the persecution is again directed at those with mental 
 illness, which the British in their cowardice find easier than taking on 
 racial groups as the Germans did. But just as in Thirties Germany there 
 was no recourse against a malign and omnipotent state, so the MI5 Secret 
 Police in the modern British Fascist State allow no justice for their 
 victims. 
  
 No Recourse Against the Security Services Illegal Harassment 
  
 It has become apparent to me over the last nine years just how loaded the 
 dice are in todays Britain, a fundamentally fascist country which 
 masquerades as a democracy. Britain is a democracy in name only; the 
 Establishment, the defence and MI5 secret police are always there, 
 regardless of which party has been voted into power most recently - and 
 from "New Labours" conduct in office one finds it difficult to tell them 
 apart from Old Tories, in their crackdowns on the sick and vulnerable in 
 society. 
  
 In thirties Germany the victims of the Nazi regime had no legal recourse 
 against their State oppressors; and in todays Fascist British state, the 
 victims of the Establishment and its MI5 Secret Police similarly have no 
 recourse against the illegal state-funded and organised oppression. There 
 is supposed to be a mechanism for dealing with MI5 crimes, in the shape of 
 the Security Service Tribunal and Commissioner; yet these have never found 
 favour of a plaintiff. One might as well ask the Nazi SS to investigate 
 crimes against epileptics or Jews as ask the Security Service Tribunal to 
 investigate MI5 crimes against British citizens; it is quite obvious what 
 the answer is going to be, regardless of what you say to them, and what 
 evidence you provide. The Tribunal and Commissioner are a mere formality, 
 a whitewashing body to give the Secret Services a veneer beneath which 
 they hide their shabby criminality. 
  
 "Institutional Racism" and Bigotry in the Metropolitan Police 
  
 The recent inquiry into the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence found clear 
 evidence of systematic and deliberate racism in the Metropolitan Police, 
 which cannot have surprised anyone. Commissioner Sir Paul Condon accepted 
 a somewhat lukewarm definition of institutional racism as being 
 "unconscious". In truth, and this truth must surely be obvious to anyone 
 who has any familiarity or encountered the great British police, the Met 
 has not just "unconscious" racism, but very clearly "conscious" and 
 deliberate racism, of the kind that would have done Thirties Germans 
 proud. And it is a bastion of such open racism - when many other parts of 
 society are learning to live in a multicultural environment, the Met is 
 still living in the past in its attitude to the minorities. 
  
 But in addition to the systematic racism confirmed by the Lawrence 
 inquiry, there is also something much more relevant to this case, which is 
 systematic police bigotry against the physically and mentally disabled, 
 which I personally have experienced in my dealings with the police over 
 the years. You cannot expect equal treatment if you are mentally 
 disabled. I tried to make a complaint to the police in 1995 about the 
 harassment I had been subjected to for several years. As soon as they 
 found out I had mental illness, they refused to even talk to me. I tried 
 again in March 1999; the police made various threats to me, while ranting 
 about "your paranoid rubbish" in reference to the complaints expressed to 
 them. 
  
 The police refusal to do the job they are employed and paid to do is 
 extremely serious, particularly as this case is highly important, indeed 
 key to the whole issue of British self-perception at the end of the 20th 
 century and the beginning of the 21st century. Britain has lost much in 
 the last fifty years - it has lost an empire, it has lost its self-respect 
 and its identity as a people. If the MI5 persecution finally makes it into 
 the light and the Security Services are seen for the rather cheap bullies 
 their behaviour indicates, it will have a massive and harmful effect on 
 British self-perception in the new century.
