I think it goes to show what a horrendous state the security services are in when it takes all these years for a (now ex) boss to spot the game plan.

No, she knew. She was a public servant, so could not speak up.

"Buried in the shallow grave of public duty", as Lawrence called it. Freed of that himself, he went on to say "now I mean to be my own judge of what to say".

She'd better watch out though, for sudden urges to go for a walk in the woods with a blunt knife and some painkillers.

She did retire quite a while ago and there was nothing like this in her book as I remember.

Isn't the UK quite good at being a police state?

My greatest fear is that if we have to live in a Police State, even the muppets will manage to run that badly.

Epic Fail

Can the UK get anything right ?

Come on, own up - which of you is such a pathetic failure at trolling and sockpuppeteering that "sappatz" was the best you could manage?
