That depends on who you believe. The anti-Huawei campaign is seriously political and accelerated by the US, with the Trump administration putting a lot of pressure on governments, especially Australia and NZ, to exclude their network hardware. Hauwei are largely considered ok in Europe and Ireland, with oversight and certain restrictions, and by the sound of it Her Majesty's Government were just about to stick two fingers up at the yanks. The other side of that is that Huawei is a god awful company that has been stealing western IP for years and couldn't give a fuck about employment rights, so swings and roundabouts really.

Fine, but why shouldn't we know the thoughts of those (supposedly) responsible on UK security on this matter? Fuck that secrecy and fuck the NCS, GCHQ, MI5, MI6 and the rest - these people have been shown time and time again to throw UK citizens to the dogs when "needed".

You can't park here sir
bloke was out of depth in a puddle but when the spooks argue the Huwaei really is not a good idea to be given access to 5g infrastructure and the pm ignores the advice maybe he did the right thing?.
he wanted to arm tractors and car ferriesand pick a fight with russia and china so not terribly bright

How can somebody called Gavin Williamson have a signature that says JC?

On which matter? There's an obvious need for secrecy in lots of security matters.

Fine but I wouldn’t trust GW’s thoughts if he said “hello”. There is nothing honourable in his reasons for doing this.

Is there? Like whether MI5 interfered in the Miners Strike? Or how the security services conspired with Loyalist paramilitaries to kill people?
Sure, as I said he can go fuck himself. But let's not pretend the rest of the wankers that make up the NSC are any more honourable. Filth one and all.

never odd or even

Well that's one end of the spectrum. The other would be the operational security of counter-terrorism endeavours, cyber-crime, organised crime, industrial espionage, people trafficking ... etc, etc, etc

I'm sure he's the type who'd be quite happy to gas any number of children (interesting Freudian slip)

Coppers will tell you;
Swear on me life = I done it but you can’t prove it
Swear on me mum = I done it but you’ll have to work hard to prove it
Swear on me kids = bang to rights

We've been together now for twenty years...
When corporal punishment was finally abolished in public schools, I recall a letter to the Telegraph, where the writer said:
'Those youngsters, they don't know how privileged they were, what they were getting for free, well, he had to pay a nice young lady in Soho Square quite handsomely to receive'.

Wanting a spanking from a nice young lady & getting one from a brutish teacher maybe quite different experiences. I know you are getting on in years but laughing about child abuse? WTFWhen corporal punishment was finally abolished in public schools, I recall a letter to the Telegraph, where the writer said:

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
He made a change from the standard Defence Secretary in that he was capable of understanding finely balanced arguments, didn't read the Telegraph, and wasn't interested in being the Treasury's man at Defence.
He occasionally, or perhaps more accurately, is reported to have done some very 'blue sky thinking', but he steered some significant procurement programmes through cabinet and faced some opposition in doing so.
There have certainly been lazier, less rigourous, less interested, less intellectually gifted and more kow-towing defence secretaries in the 5, 10, 15, 20 etc... years.

How many of these counter-terrorism endeavours actually benefit us, rather than serve to maintain the power of capital and the state.
These are the people who argued that because their illegal assistance in torture was found out they need to have extra secrecy protections so that in future such shit should not come to light.
