... . As the Mafia notoriously say, 'things change' but it looked, by May Day, that deadlines were being set. Blair has set a framework for terrorism and security that Brown might well adapt to his requirements but is unlikely to change fundamentally. Intelligence-based policing, the framework for an eventual introduction of investigating judges, a culture of surveillance (such as identity cards) and the centralisation of all aspects of internal security will be in position for wider implementation. Ordinary citizens are going to be stopped, questioned and watched more regularly. What this means on the ground Even if the Prime Minister at the centre controls overall policy, whoever runs the Home Office will, under ...

... be subject to review. The Cold War is now over. All the files gathered on the 'state's enemies during this period should be opened for scrutiny. If Romania and some of the other Eastern European countries can do this there can be no conceivable reason for not doing so other than it would shock the public as to the extent of surveillance, spying and the use of informants. MI5 is on record as destroying a vast number of these files – what has not been destroyed should be preserved for history. More resources need to be allocated to employ more reviewers. There should be a time limit placed on the borrowing of files from the National Archives – currently there is ...

... . Nonetheless, MI5 maintain that they never had any idea that he was going to become a suicide bomber. This is a fine example of doublethink because in excusing themselves for failing to stop Siddique Khan before 7/7 they are also admitting that they have no evidence that he was actually a suicide bomber. Despite their many hours of surveillance of Khan they never came across anything suggesting he was preparing to kill himself or anyone else. Thus, in slowly revealing tidbit-by-tidbit what information they did have on Khan before 7/7, it is only if you believe that he was a suicide bomber that any of it looks convincing. Khan's visits to Pakistan, his contact with ...

Though many complaints were made by Protestants about the homosexual goings-on at Kincora, the Army and the security services managed to keep the affair quiet for fear of revealing their own roles. RUC detectives had had McGrath and another warden, Joseph Mains, under surveillance in 1975. But it wasn't until an article in the Irish Independent in 1980 that a real enquiry took place. Led by Supt. George Carsey, it lasted twenty months. Some 700 people were interviewed at the end. McGrath and two Kincora colleagues were convicted, along with two other officials from Belfast Boys Home, and a ...

The large transmitter found attached to the bottom of the table in the CPGB's central meetings room, displayed by ex CPGB Central Committee member George Mathews in the Independent (25 November 1989), illustrates Peter Wright's claim that 'By 1955.... the CPGB was thoroughly penetrated at almost every level by technical surveillance or informants'; and with the spreading disillusion in the 1950s, climaxed by Hungary, MI5 can have had no trouble recruiting active and former party members, like the late Harry Newton, to inform on the British comrades.
