Mark Thomas s03e07 Menwith Hill Part 3

[pixi3p3t3]

i don't remember being asked if i want any U.S military bases in my country, was anyone else?

I'd be far more concerned with the information the likes of Youtube, Amazon.co.uk, Facebook, your bank, the DVLA and any insurance providers you have keep on you. Write to them and request the records they keep on you under the Freedom of Information act. You might be in for a nasty shock.

Menwith Hill are there for your security, corporations use this profiled information to market/profile you. I know who I prefer handling my information!

@mikhailM4

The fact the goings on at Menwith Hill are not even accountable to MP's or European MP's should be a concern to everyone (questions in parliament frequently draw blanks). Even the relatives of people who work there are told misinformation...i.e. a crock of shit. So I'm afraid you only know what the rest of us know about the place...nothing. And you think you have enough to place TRUST in them? LOL...talk about gullible. Amazon know my DVD tastes and my credit card No. Big whoop!

[mikhailM4]

@GhibliFan1, and why exactly should it be accountable to those who do not need to know?

As for Amazon, on the documentary 'Erasing David' they kept a profile on him the size of a Yellow pages, you're gullible to have never challenged such commercially available information. What always makes me wonder is of what concern is Menwith to you if you have nothing to hide?

Trust or not, you hardly have a choice in the system of an MEDC anyway. Don't like it? better get offline/cancel that card then.

@mikhailM4

"and why exactly should it be accountable to those who do not need to know?"

So elected members of Parliament in THIS country "do not need to know" what AMERICAN intelligence agents are up to on OUR soil? And you have the audacity to call ME gullible? You're very funny....I'll give you that. It's also not a question of having something to hide or not...that is totally beside the point.

[mikhailM4]

@GhibliFan1 no, if there is no necessity, they do not. More senior members/those with genuine responsibilities do know however. You think we'd allow them to conduct such activities without the information fed back to UK Intel and govt?, then you truly are naive. You still failed to answer my question though, WHY do people with no necessary role in intel and defense need to know?

How is having something to hide beside the point?, it's the only reason I can see anyone getting up tight about it.

Very enjoyable! I love watching these.

[pepetua123]

[playboyjohnny]

...and what would Americans speak without the English, dickhead.

[Darkinsigniosis]

Go fuck yourself you self important twat.

[swedishng1987]

someone doesnt know their history very well,without command of the air (which britain had post 'battle of britain') around the UK the germans had no hope of invasion (and subsequent domination/speaking german),a fact admitted by the germans themselves....watch the "world at war" my friend,not quite as dramatic as band of brothers but a fuck of alot more detailed.go play in traffic

[warlockuk]

I assume you mean that incident where the Americans waited until two years into a world war nicely looking after Nazi money before coming in halfway through when everyone was already pretty run down?

[elmsend]

Cry me a river sim0b. Boo hoo.

And in the mean time, find me an actual comedian instead of a whiner trying to pass off his cryfest as humor...

[elmsend]

Isn't a comedian actually supposed to be funny? Sad...

[onthego1888]

Oh dear elmsend, rather missing the point aren't we

[sim0b]

yeah

[sim0b]

elmsend, your a prick.

[cpglerum]

would be great to go see it!

[martinevans123]

I agree there's no need to be `a jobswith'...

But it seems the stakes have gone up a bit now it's been revealled that Des Brown agreed to the US request (through a WRITTEN STATEMENT just as the Commons Summer Recess began) for Menwith to be used as part of America's Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system.

MPs have now demanded this must be debated by Parliament. It's not just tapping into phone calls any more, is it.

[Willber234]

Someone goes to all that effort to highlight something so important in a very clever way and the most noticeable thing is a minor mispronunciation of a place name. :(

p.s. Lizards is spelled with an "s" :)

Mark is a true people's hero. Down with Menworth.

[sim0b]

damn right

[lizardz23]

It's WITH not fucking WORTH!!!!!!!!!!!

[prostakuk]

[sim0b]
