Box (MI5), likes to portray itself as
being mainly involved in counter espionage and doesn't like to talk about how
it spies on British citizens who they deem 'subversive'
or now, 'domestic extremists' which
isn't defined in law. F Section of MI5, spied on some British citizens who were
in organisations like CND or the trade unions. These organisations were not
illegal or proscribed organisations.
When the former black spy cop, Trevor Morris, who spied on the Lawrence family, gave live testimony at the Mitting Inquiry (see video) into undercover policing, he was asked if he had been tasked with smearing the Lawrence family. He said he'd been tasked by the Met to gather intelligence on the family and that the smearing was done by MI5. He then said that he shouldn't have said that and asked for that comment to be retracted from the record. Then someone pulled the plug on the live streaming.
If MI5 were spying on the Lawrence family in what way were the family a threat to the security of the state? Doreen Lawrence was given and accepted a peerage.
