What is the real role of MI6?
I was reading today that MI6 had put both Harriet Harman and Patricia Hewitt under surveillance while they had been running Liberty, the Civil rights body. I cannot believe this is a good use of Tax payers money myself. yet this is not the first time that Left of Center Groups have found there people under surveillance. I can also remember that some UK unions have also been put under the surveillance of MI6. Yet I can never remember any case of a Center Right wing group being put under surveillance?
So is this spying on Left of Center Group been of great help to the Governments of the day? or do you believe its high time that all this rubbish ended? and they got on with the real business of protecting UK people or companies from coming under attack?

MI6, What is it real role?
Being "bad-asses", if the TV program I've seen here is in any way accurate. Tell you what, I wouldn't want to be on MI6's radar.

Apparently it is to prevent information falling into the hands of the Public who are paying for it.

I happen to believe that hunting down real enemies of the UK or Western world MI6 does a good job. but two MPs seems a bit bizarre Rock

MI5 is the British security service while MI6 is the British foreign intelligence service. Crudely, MI6 are "our" spies while MI5 is there to catch "their" spies.
The UK security services are watching everyone who crosses the Whitehall radar , simple as that.

Not just "watching", according to what we hear about over here.

We have the FBI and CIA, roughly equivalent to MI5 and MI6 in division of labor. I know Canada has restructured, but in the recent past, RCMP performed both roles, I believe. I know RCMP passed off surveillance to the FBI of a terrorist plotting to blow up stuff in Washington State as the beast crossed the British Columbia - Washington State border.
FBI caught the sunavab**ch with his hands "dirty", thanks to RCMP's cross-Canada surveillance of the beast's travels.

While what you say is quite true..the two MPs in question I have worked with in the past..Nether of them could ever be call a security risk..its as silly as saying Gideon is a security risk...as he may be maybe many things in my book..but he is no more of a security risk than these two MPs. quite crazy to even think so.

If there is one chance in a million that an MP in your system is a security risk, she/he should be watched like a hawk watches potential prey by an agency with talons.
Same thing is true of Congresspersons and Senators in our system

Hi Rock

Still waters run deep (ouch)
Remember the nice elderly couple who were sending secrets to the Russians in the 60s, using microfische in the books they were "selling"
