• Mi5 Planted Secret Surveillance Equipment [...]

MI5 planted secret surveillance equipment to scrutinise at least five prime ministers and Cabinet ministers between 1963 and 1977, says the Mail on Sunday. This was done on the instructions of Tory premier Harold Macmillan and the exercise was ended by Labour's James Callaghan. Apparently the story should have appeared in Professor Christopher Andrew's official history of MI5 in 2009, but was removed by Cabinet Office officials. Do we believe MI5 isn't bugging prime ministers and their colleagues any more? To safeguard our democracy, I'd like them to eavesdrop continually and leak details -- when they are perceived to be in the public interest -- to the newspapers.
