Collaboration between Gaddafi and British intelligence greater than previously though

There have been some astounding accusations made this morning in the Guardian.

It has been alleged that Libyan agents were allowed by British intelligence to operate on British soil, intimidating Libyans who had been granted asylum.

If true, that is incredible and deeply troubling. I reflexively support the intelligence services, I don't accept and indeed resent the conspiracy theory view of the world. Most people in that area are dedicated and hardworking civil servants.

Having said that, my belief in the rule of law comes before that. If we have granted people asylum, we have a legal obligation to uphold their human rights and treat them as our own. Imagine if the intelligence services had exposed, say, a former Russian national to intimidation by the SVR because we didn't like their politics? This should be the subject of a judicial inquiry

Although I wouldn't put anything past the bastion of the left, tony blair.

You seem to have a real chip on your shoulder about the left; you bring them up even when it's completely irrelevant, in a manner almost consistent with the way neo-Nazis blame "the Jews" for everything. It's impossible to have a serious discussion with you
