No Time to Lie

The parliamentary watchdog nominally in charge of overseeing Global Britain's intelligence and security agencies has complained that the agencies are not keeping to deadline in responding to inquiries. To indicate how serious is the snoopers' abuse of their customary blank cheque, the intelligence and security committee has expressed concern that it may not be able to assure the public or Parliament that the agencies are infiltrating and sabotaging no more than the appropriate environmentalist groups. Worse yet, the Government may be missing out on vital propaganda concerning the mad mullahs of Iran, who have threatened at least ten people in the UK with extraordinary rendition; although it remains unclear whether the threatenees are actual members of the master race as opposed to potential deportees. In light of the growing threat from "subjects of interest" such as Russia, China and that minority of extreme rightwing terrorists who neither fire-bomb asylum seekers nor draw their salaries from the taxpayer, the Government has stated that it does not feel any more bound by its promises to the committee than to its own word on other subjects. Indeed, the extent of the Government's regard for the intelligence and security committee can perhaps best be gauged from the fact that Chris Graybeing was recently a candidate for the chair.
