‘GCHQ prostituting itself to the NSA over the last few years’
Annie Machon is a former intel-li-gence officer for the UK's MI5, who resigned in 1996 to blow the whistle. She is now a writer, public speaker and a Director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.

The absence of up-to-date UK laws and regulations led to a situation which saw GCHQ put the needs of the NSA and American interests ahead of protecting British national security which is their job, former MI5 agent Annie Machon told RT.
The British GCHQ
intelligence agency turned out to be a bigger player in the
snooping game than the US’s NSA. According to recent revelations
from Edward Snowden, the UK surveillance program “has no
limits” and actively uses illegally collected information.
The biggest problem is that UK laws and regulations are not as
strict as US ones, which makes GCHQ even less accountable for its
illegal activities.
READ MORE:
RT: Is this a surprise to you that GCHQ has
played such a big role in surveillance?
Annie Machon: Absolutely not. The oversight and
regulation of British spies is so light and so unenforced as to
be meaningless. And we know from Edward Snowden’s earlier
disclosures last year that GCHQ has effectively been prostituting
itself to the NSA over the last few years.
Now, why do I say that? Some of his early disclosures were
documents that showed that GCHQ has received over $100 million
from the NSA, that they were actually putting the needs of the
NSA and American interests ahead of protecting British national
security, which is their job. And then they’re saying “NSA
come and use us and let us do whatever you want because we are
much more lightly regulated than you are.” They said that
overtly. So they have been selling themselves to the NSA because
of the lack of meaningful regulation in the UK. So no surprise
RT: GCHQ says it’s operating within the
realm of the laws. Does that mean the law is too weak it’s not
protecting people?
AM: T they are analogue
laws from the 20th Century, and they are very elastic in the way
they are applied. For example, if GCHQ wants to intercept
communications of British citizens they need to get the prior
written permission in a warrant from their political master, the
Foreign Secretary. Time and again this hasn’t happened. But that
was also 20th century law applied to specific groups and specific
targets in order to carry out specific investigations.
However, what we seen from what Snowden has disclosed about
things like the Tempora program, what we have is GCHQ mainlining
off the transatlantic fiber-optic cables between North America
and Europe on the say so of a warrant apparently signed by our
Foreign Secretary, William Hague, last year, which is an omnibus
warrant, a wide ranging warrant which covers all the
communications of 500 million European citizens. Even if this was
legal under UK law against British citizens, where on earth does
William Hague, the former Foreign Secretary, think he has the
authority to investigate and intercept all the communications of
all Europe’s citizens? It just doesn’t stack up.
RT: Snowden says GCHQ is collecting anything
that might be interesting. How is that going to affect your
average man and woman? What sort information is being harvested,
and where is it all going?
AM: Everything is being harvested because they
say they have to get everything in order to protect the country
against this nebulous terrorist threat. The best way of trying to
protect against terrorist threats is targeted, specific
investigations often using a variety of different sources, not
just electronic dragnet surveillance, which is what they are
doing at the moment.
However, to put in the context, one of the things that has been
revealed is that GCHQ picks up a lot of video Skype
conversations. Apparently 10 percent of those are intimate Skype
conversation between long-distance partners and they are being
counseled about how to deal with seeing these very explicit
images. People might say “I am doing nothing wrong I have
nothing to hide.” By having a mutual consensual explicit
Skype video perhaps with your partner who might be in another
country, you’re not doing anything wrong but I am sure you don’t
want have that out in public, and I am sure you wouldn’t want the
spooks watching it. All sorts of other examples – your health
records, your banking records, your relationships, your political
affiliations - this is why privacy should be upheld, and it is so
important. And if you start to think you are not having any
privacy, you start to self-censor and that leads to
totalitarianism.
