From Ian Fantom – Oct 14, 2020

Dear Holly Lynch,
I learned today that the Covert Human Intelligence Bill (https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/58-01/0188/200188.pdf) is planned to go through all stages of parliament tomorrow, in one go. I have no time really to contact my MP and to receive a reply, but I do urge you to do everything in your power to delay this process and force it through all the stages of parliament that such a radical change in our surveillance state would demand.
Do this as an MP representing your constituents, not as a Labour Party representative.
I am now getting angry about the abuses of the public by parliament. You recently wrote to me saying, “I am concerned that there has been a great deal of disinformation about vaccines on the Internet recently. In July, a Center For Countering Digital Hate poll revealed that over 1/3 of UK adults would refuse a COVID-19 vaccine. I believe that social media companies have a responsibility to ensure that this content has no place on their platforms”. In other words, those who have genuine disagreements with the government are castigated as spreading disinformation, and you are telling me that the government has every right to disrupt communication between citizens who take a different view.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with statements put out by the UK government or by the World Health Organisation, such disruption should be completely inadmissible in a democratic society. This bill, which it appears is being rushed through tomorrow (15 October 2020) will enable the secret services to disrupt any legitimate democratic activities with impunity.
I strongly contest your statement that I am putting out disinformation. My reports have been well referenced, and I take deep offence at your allegation, especially when there has been no hint of any justification of what you are telling me. Research the issues yourself if you are insinuating that I am lying.
I came into this activity when I discovered evidence that the Esperanto association was being dismantled by covert activity. A covert group that had taken over the association was hiding capital and telling members that they had to run down their services because of a financial crisis. I merely documented the incongruities and quietly left it to the President to handle. Then there followed a denigration campaign against me led by the toffs in the association, much like the fake ‘antisemitism’ campaign launched against Jeremy Corbyn when he was leader of your party. I gave Jeremy Corbyn a set of my reports, since he had been at one stage the Secretary of the Esperanto Parliamentary Group, which was also brought down by covert activity. I thought he needed to know, in case anything like that happened in the Labour Party. That was in 2014.
Your email confirmed to me that the government is not above disrupting organisations and campaigning groups by infiltration and any other means possible. Why is this bill necessary if not to protect those who are committing such crimes.
Are you under some sort of pressure to be one of the members of a “dead parrot parliament”, as Peter Hitchens recently called it? If one of your own MPs can throw his notes down in parliament and say he would not apologise for being angry, then I think constituents are entitled to be angry, too, and it is likely that if this bill receives the royal ascent, then millions of people throughout the country will be angry.
Return our governance to a parliamentary democracy or make way for someone who will.
Ian Fantom, MSc.
