Titolo: MI5 Persecution: Bernard Levin expresses his views

to cheer.
At the time this article was written I had believed for some time that
columnists in the Times and other journalists had been making references to
my situation. Nothing unusual about this you may think, plenty of people
have the same sort of ideas and obviously the papers aren't writing about
them, so why should my beliefs not be as false as those of others?
What makes this article so extraordinary is that three or four days
immediately preceding its publication, I had a meeting with a friend,
during the course of which we discussed the media persecution, and in
particular that by Times columnists. It seemed to me, reading the article
by Levin in Saturday’s paper, that he was describing in some detail his
"artist’s impression" of that meeting. Most telling are the final
sentences, when he writes, "The madman bursts into tears, and swears it is
all true. And it is." Although I did not "burst into tears" (he seems to be
using a bit of poetic licence and exaggerating) I did try hard to convince
my friend that it was all true; and I am able to concur with Mr Levin,
because, of course, it is.
At the beginning of the piece Levin reveals a fear of being attacked by the
"irrational" subject of his story, saying "I have no reason to believe that
he is violent, but he should certainly be approached with caution". This
goes back to the xenophobic propaganda of "defence" against a "threat"
which was seen at the very beginning of the harassment. The impression of a
"madman running loose" who needs to be controlled through an agency which
assigns to itself the mantle of the "police" is also one which had been
expressed elsewhere.
In the final paragraph of this extract, his reference to Everyman’s Library
as having "died a lingering and shameful death a decade or so ago" shows
clearly what sort of conclusion they wish to their campaign. They want a
permanent solution, and as they are prevented from achieving that solution
directly, they waste significant resources on methods which have been
repeatedly shown to be ineffective for such a purpose.

The British police obviously do know what is taking place. Besides my
interpretations of what individual officers have said which forces that
conclusion, it would be inconceivable for them to be unaware of something
on this scale.
If they know, then they will know that the abusers have broken laws in the
UK and abroad. Recently the UK introduced laws against electronic spying
which carry a penalty of several years jail if caught. If the police know
illegal harassment is taking place, and do nothing about it, then they are
failing in their responsibilities.
Last Easter (1995) I went into the local police station in London and spoke
to an officer about the harassment against me. But I couldn't provide
tangible evidence; what people said, in many cases years ago, is beyond
proof, and without something to support my statements I cannot expect a
police officer to take the complaint seriously.
The current situation with regard to the police is not one which allows a
breakthrough in dealing with the problem. On the one hand, most individual
officers at a local police station may not know about the ongoing assaults,
so a complaint at that level will not yield results. Yet the police as an
organisation do know of the harassment, and they must be aware that a
complaint has been made at a police station. So it is clearly their duty to
take preventative action against the continuing molestation, but because
the criminals are operating on behalf of a state agency, the police are not
carrying out their duty.
