Re: I would hardly expect precise targetting
"with the amount of dipshittery that goes on in Westminster, I would argue that they should, just in case said idiot walks down downing street waving at the photographers with 50mpix cameras focused on the documents on show detailing the terrorist targets they are about to round up.....
and its no joke.... its already happened at least once ..."
But that judgement is not within the remit of the intelligence agencies or other civil servants. For better or worse, we have a democracy and the civil servants work for the government, not the other way around.
British intelligence agencies have form for getting way out of line: MI5 spied on Harry Wilson when he was prime minister, because they believed him to be too left wing and possibly in contact with the KGB.
