I think that any Intelligence Agency that didn't monitor political parties and groups would be classed as a waste of space!

The period spoken of was over 40 years ago when the SNP was a different kettle of fish to what it is today and was not averse to engaging in illegal activities.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, the FBI had files on clowns like Bud Abbott right through to dangerous political revolutionaries such as Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon. The MI5 won't be any different.

Surely it is MI5's raison d'etre to "spy" or monitor any activities that may relate to the United Kingdom....

So why is it still happening as per the the 2nd link and why does it not happen in Westminster ??
