   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
