1. Here, Ms Badenoch was speaking at a demonstration against the then proposed (since approved) Chinese embassy
in London.
2. An enquiry into the wisdom of the decision to approve construction of that Embassy requires more space than
I can afford in this note. Briefly:
(i). It is likely some intelligence activity will be carried out from the Chinese embassy: every embassy does
that. How dangerous such activity would be and whether all the risks suggested are as grave as they have, at times,
been expressed requires more treatment than I may attempt here without burdening your patience. In any case, I do not
have enough information correctly to assess all the risks.
(ii). It may or may not have been wise to approve construction of the embassy; it certainly was disappointing
to see Ms Badenoch ignore the serious threats from within (those I reported to her and which form the subject of this
website) and pretend we are menaced only from without:
(a). Are the Chinese really capable of doing worse to us than we are doing to ourselves: in Hillsborough, in
Rotherham, with the Blood Scandal, with the Postmasters scandal, with the kind of conduct mentioned here
and the problems we all see, for which no one else may be blamed?
3. We must guard steadfastly against all threats: not only those from without. We do not want to be weakened
or surrender our freedom to the Chinese, but neither would we be enfeebled or stripped of our liberties by politicians
or anyone else here. If I am not certain the waves can be ruled, I am convinced we ought never to be slaves to the
Chinese or to anyone else, even to our own politicians.
4. My experiences of the last fourteen years fail to persuade me that Ms Badenoch, or anyone else in politics
(and many outside politics), has my and the country's best interests (which really are the same) at heart.
5. I should probably have been less suspicious had Ms Badenoch fallen upon the miscreants in my case with as
much vigour and so publically.
(i). Is it truly her considered opinion that we should be safer, here, were China to become the standard for
anything that might be wished for, but the sort of conduct I reported to her, and which she ignored, were to continue
here: hidden, unchallenged and unchecked?
6. Let freedom, values and charity begin at home.
