MI5 Persecution: Why do you think MI5 are responsible? (7849)
Why do you think MI5 are responsible? The question of who is ultimately responsible for this eight-year harassment is one which is very difficult to answer, as the persecutors have never clearly made their identities known to the persecutee.
