Calls for unprecedented and legally binding powers to ban the media from reporting matters of national security, reported on the front page of the Independent, would be incredible had they come from a government minister in this heavy-handed anti-liberal government. Being cited as coming from the Intelligence and Security Committee, a committee that consists entirely of members of the Houses of Parliament, they are virtually unbelievable.
The Committee itself never comments in public, least of all on issues about its own business, and I think it highly unlikely that they themselves were the official sources of this briefing. It seems much more likely that this was a helpful briefing from Whitehall ‘on behalf’ of the committee.
Well, there's a surprise!
Fucking cunts.
