MI5: Power for informants to commit crimes is ruled 'lawful'

Under the Security Service Act 1989, Lord Singh said MI5 had"implied power ...to engage in the activities which are the subject of the policy under challenge".

Secondly, if the rules around such criminality were published, would the targeted suspects not just use them to sniff out the rat? In Northern Ireland there are unresolved allegations of collusion by the security forces in serious crimes during the Troubles.

Denmark says that northern stream 2 may be changed to Danish entry.

Well now I just want to be an MI5 informant

Those Organisations opposing the ruling are naive beyond belief if they truly imagine security services can operate effectively in such a straightjacket and one must immediately question their loyalty's and motives.

Well our Kings and Queens used to do it with gay abandon. So now leaders of mature democracies, and we hold Putin and his cronies in contempt. How do you square this with the Skripal's and Novichok? How long then, does freedom of speech last?

If you want to catch the bad guys you sometimes have to play really dirty... Because they will stop at nothing. Keep after these clandestine creepers plotting $hit.

Good, we don't need to handicap our Secret Service!
