X Marks the Cunt

Needs a thread of it's own:

MI5 and the government this time. Fucking hell

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/mar/01/bbc-spy-report-alleges-mi5-undercover-agent-abused-women-court-hears

Turns out, it's important for national security that we have a woman beating maniac on the payroll

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60579589

A BBC programme wants to name an MI5 agent because he represents a danger to other women and must be publicly identified to prevent future harm, the High Court has heard.
...
The legal battle is over whether the BBC can air a news story about a male MI5 informant known only in the court proceedings as "X".

If aired, the BBC's news report would claim that X used his status as an agent to abuse, control and coerce a former partner, referred to by the pseudonym "Beth" - and that MI5 either knew or ought to have known about this and was wrong to use him as an agent.

Another woman who alleges she was abused by him - known by the pseudonym "Ruth" - has said she fears X will kill a woman if he is not "challenged and exposed".

The government's Attorney General Suella Braverman is seeking an injunction to block the broadcast, arguing that identifying X would create a "real and immediate risk" of serious or life-threatening harm to him and would damage national security.

The man's a national treasure. He only beat them two 'cause the terrorist would win or Putin or something.

Fucking sick!

Using the European Court of Human Rights too!

Probably a KGB agent posing as MI5 to discredit are brave speyes. Drone strikes on Moscow NOW.

A Braverman than I

[dissolute ocelot]

This is why we need a government that can surveil and track every movement of the population, so no member of MI5 need ever sleep alone. Do your duty!

Or imprison them all in suitcases and let them die, that's also a valid option.

No need for an injunction, we all know it's Johnson. 

And that's the problem really.  We have abusers, their enablers, in great variety seeded throughout our society.  The whole thing needs more than a telly program if I'm honest.

Never noticed the state of his teeth!? And he claims to have a warm relationship with the US?!!

He botched chipping his vampire tooth down, probably did it when he was drunk (on child blood).

[Buelligan]

He's a baboon.  Without the manners.

Establishment knows best:

The BBC is to be prevented from naming a man it says exploited his status as an MI5 informant to abuse a partner and poses an ongoing threat to women.

A High Court judge has ruled that identifying the man, known only as X, would create a "real and immediate" risk he would be killed or injured.

The judgement proceeds on the basis that X is a danger to women, but it makes no formal finding.

Gets even better

Mr Justice Chamberlain concluded that disclosure of X's identity would have a wider damaging effect on national security because an agent who became aware of the BBC's story "would not necessarily assume that the story was accurate in every respect" and might conclude "it was based principally on the say-so" of one of the women.

The judge said this risked discouraging people from acting as agents, as they might think the trigger for disclosure of their identity was the making of an allegation, whether true or not.

The BBC's evidence included a video showing X attacking one of the women with a "dangerous weapon"

Um... what!?

[shoulders]

The judiciary need a fucking slap sometimes.

Literally no-one alive thinks that one of the downsides of joining MI5 as an agent is the especially precarious nature of employment vis a vis ethics.

STOP GETTING BOND WRONG

Bond is in MI6.

Beeb allowed to report on him, but not reveal his identity:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-61508520 (CW some really nasty domestic abuse)

An MI5 spy used his status to terrorise his partner before moving abroad to continue intelligence work while under investigation, the BBC has found.

A video shows the man threatening to kill the woman and attacking her with a machete.

The foreign national cannot be named, despite evidence he is a threat to women, after the government took the BBC to court to block publication.

Evidence shows that he is a right-wing extremist with a violent past.

Very nasty story. How is this supposed to be dealt with? How do we know how valuable this person is to MI5?

He didn't "attack" her with a machete, he threatened her with it.
