WHY ARE THEY STILL
THERE?

Some custard pies
for our shadowy spook-watchers.

Parliament)
[Daily Mail-Friday,
July 18,2008]
[We ask the question
as the majority of the members of Commons Committee
' whose supervision of MI5 and MI6 -the very
intelligence world whose work was manipulated to
take us into the IRAQ WAR' are still members of
the ISC- Intelligence and Security Committee.
One has only to look at the individuals themselves
to realise that they are hardly the right material
to protect us all from the rogue units within our
Security Services -but particularly MI6 which has
Sir John Scarlett its Head - rewarded for
toeing the line and no doubt protecting Tony
Blair's deceitful decision the tragic
consequences of which as at the
18th July 2008
has resulted in the
death of
175
British Troops
Thousands wounded
and hundreds seriously wounded and were treated in
the NHS wards which to many must have been a return
to
HELL.
Quite frankly
the members of the ISC should be airlifted to Iraq.
Be given a rifle that jams and without adequate body
protection placed in a basic Snatch Land-Rover and
told to hold a strategic stronghold until it is
relieved-which will of course be never. ]

SPIES' DAY
It does not
happen often but the Commons had a brief chance to
debate the supervision of MI5 and MI6 - the very
intelligence world whose work was manipulated to
take us into the
IRAQ WAR.
'Three and a
half hours
is our lot
EVERY ONE and a
HALF YEARS,'
snorted Andrew
MacKinley (Lab. Thurrock).
HE WAS NOT
IMPRESSED.
The Westminster
Committee which is meant to oversee the
Spooks
IS CALLED THE
Intelligence and
Security Committee
(ISC)
It is not strictly
a House of Commons Committee. Its members are
appointed by Downing Street
[We believe that
they should have been selected in secret ballot by
members of the House after disallowing certain
individuals who in the view of that HOUSE are too
close to the GOVERNMENT of the DAY.]
How handy, Peter
Kilfoyle (Lab. Liverpool .Walton) called
the
ISC
'A Poodle of
the Prime Minister of the day'
The ISC ANNUAL
REPORT , given to MPs before yesterday's
discussions was, as ever, full of blanked-out
passages. Its like reading a half-filled crossword
puzzle.
So paranoid is
the GOVERNMENT that MPs are not even told the name
of the COMMITTEE'S CLERK. Secret, you see. HE
or SHE works in the CABINET OFFICE deep in the
gubbins of the EXECUTIVE. Jacqui Smith, Home
Secretary, opened the DEBATE. She is NOT GOOD
at the DESPATCH BOX, particularly when it comes to
matters demanding MATURE ARGUMENT.
Her reaction to
queries from Mr MacKinlay was simply
TO SMIRK.
He was worried
that our spies are not properly accountable to
the Commons
Dim Jacqui
just laughed
[Well! some of them will possibly be
also other countries spies knowing as we do what has
been happening since in 1938
Edward
Heath was
enrolled with Roy
Jenkins and Geoffrey Rippon recruited by Arnold
Toynbee whilst at Balliol College, Oxford
into the
German Nazi DVD
Not much to
laugh at there.
As Edward Heath
became Prime Minister and ignored the warning of his
Chancellor Lord Kilmuir and instead connived
with LIES and DECEIT to ensure the passing of the
Accession Treaty the TREATY of ROME to the supposed EEC which even then
was known to be on a path to a UNITED STATES OF
EUROPE. Ask the architect of the Treaty
Valery Giscard d'
Estaing is still alive today in July 2008 -Mr X. ]
WHO SITS ON THIS
SHADOWY COMMITTEE?
MPs in the
Commons yesterday kept saying that they did not
question the abilities of any member by the way it
is chosen.
Oh well. Let me
hurl a few custard pies at
THEM.
The chairman is
Margaret Becket, former Foreign Secretary, a
definite brain but not one of life's bravest Bessies
when it comes to questioning the
PARTY LINE.
Some people
will claim she landed the this chairmanship on
merit. Others think she was given it to stop
her causing trouble for Gordon Brown after he dumped
her from the Cabinet and promoted her enemy Geoff
Hoon [the lost flak jacket
man] to Chief Whip.
The rest of the
Committee is as follows:
The Tories' Michael
Ancram former Foreign Secretary, a genial nobleman
who has shown a few hesitant signs of becoming a
crotchety in old age but still has a long way to go
before he qualifies for the description
'swashbuckling champion of the common man'
The LibDems' Sir
Alan Beith, knighted for being, so far as one
can tell, a reliable stodge
[Well! from what we have seen and
heard of the Committee collectively the word should
be
STOOGE]
Ben Chapman,
a Labour backbencher of decent if compliant bent.
[No surprises here,
then]
Also on the
COMMITTEE are Lord Foulkes, the Labour peer and one
of the most shocking
SYCOPHANTS
in the entire
British political system.
George Howarth,
a former junior minister who was so supportive of
Tony Bliar that he was singled out by him for thanks
ion his last Labour Conference speech.
Michael Mates,
Tory harrumpher and status quo Johnnie who was
friendly with disgraced financier Asil Nadir.
[WELL! this man
reminds one of the scene in a
'Bridge Too
Far'
when those
trying to oust the British Tommies from their end of
Arnham Bridge came in force and one saw in the
leading vehicle an outline of a upstanding man
who no doubt thought it would be a pushover
and how wrong he was as it turned out as he was seen
to disappear into the flames of his own ill-fated
vehicle. When we see Michael Mates with his
self-satisfied smile and his grandiloquent manner we
are waiting for the day when he meets his deserved
fate for the great wrong he and other members of the
committee in the lead up to the IRAQ WAR when they
showed what wasted wastrels they all were when they
accepted the tainted information as TRUTH and as a
result millions of Iraqi's have fled their country
with hundreds of thousands of lives lost and a
countries infrastructure destroyed , and not
forgetting the lives lost and injuries sustained by
our brave under- resourced under-supplied servicemen
and women ALL BECAUSE OF A
BIG LIE.]
At Arnham the
10,000 British Troops went into Arnham and less than
2000 returned -a loss of almost 8000 which as we all
know was brought about by
GROSS
INCOMPETENCE
by individuals
who did not want to rock the boat and in one case a
stop for a cup of tea lost valuable time which lost
the BATTLE.
The brave soldiers
did an exemplary job under arduous and perilous
circumstances.
After the GREAT
LOSSES in the CRIMEA there was AN INQUIRY.
THERE IS STILL
NO INQUIRY OF THE EVENTS THAT LED TO THE ILLEGAL WAR
IN IRAQ.
The International
Court of Justice at the Hague should indict
TONY BLAIR
FOR WAR CRIMES
AGAINST HUMANITY
NOW!]
*
The remaining
members of ISC:
Richard Ottaway,
a blameless if inconspicuous Tory.
Dari Taylor,
never the brightest glow-worm on the Labour
back-benches.
Foreign Secretary
David Miliband who turned up late, seemed to find
the whole subject of parliamentary supervision of
intelligence immensely amusing. he kept talking
about how he did not intend to make a Fidel
Castro-length speech
Ho!
ho!
ho!
But what about the
PRINCIPLE raised by Mr MacKinlay and other members
of Labour's awkward squad, that PARLIAMENT should
have more say on the SCRUTINY of the many MILLIONS
spent on INTELLIGENCE?
Of THAT WE HEARD
LITTLE FROM MR MILIBAND.
Mr MacKinlay , who
believes in its bloc vote of lobby fodder and
crushed this most modest of ideas by 173 votes.
No more than about 20 of those who voted for the
Government had actually been present to hear the
arguments.
NEXT TIME WE GET
TAKEN INTO AN ILL-ADVISED [ ILLEGAL] WAR, DO
REMEMBER THIS DEBATE WON'T YOU?
[WHAT DEBATE?]
