Why we should not trust the Head of MI5
It was hardly a coincidence that, barely 24 hours before the Queen's Speech, with its promise of an anti-terrorism Bill and consultation on tougher measures, the head of MI5 was cautioning about the threat from an estimated 4,000 potential terrorists, recruited in Britain, and even now plotting attacks against innocent citizens. “Terrorists are methodically and intentionally targeting young people in this country,” intoned the Director-General, Jonathan Evans. “They are radicalising, indoctrinating and grooming young, vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism”.
In case you have forgotten it was Jonathan Evans who played a large part in drafting the Dodgy Dossier which sought to justify the invasion of Iraq. There was, of course, no WMD. Why should we now believe him when he claims that there are 4,000 potential suspected terrorists in this country? It would appear that his intelligence is based upon the need of the Prime Minister to scare us enough to into accepting draconian measures supposedly for our own good.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
oh gosh I had forgotten it was that Jonathan Evans !
ReplyDeleteEven more reason to treat his utterings with shovelfuls of snuff!!!
It's a bit of a coincidence that just before the Queen's speech when budgets are doled out, the head of MI5 starts bleating on about kiddie suicide bombers. considering the keystone cops events surrounding de Menezes' assassination, if al-Queda were that active in this country, we'll all be up in smoke. Don't believe anything the (lack of)'intelligence' services in this country have to say anyway. As they're now busy producing dodgy dossiers against Iran.
