our country and our sovereignty has been given away by 'democratically elected' representatives. MI5 cannot act against such people, even though they have told lies and are, by any standards, quislings. The fault lies with us the voters that we have been gulled by these traitors and have foolishly voted for them.
There was no obvious subversion that MI5 could act against.
I cannot understand why MI5 haven't done anything about those who seek to give our sovereignty away, given this page of their website https://www.mi5.gov.uk/output/subversion.html The Security Service Act 1989 (new window) does not use the term "subversion", but provides a definition of it by reference to actions that are "intended to overthrow or undermine parliamentary democracy by political, industrial or violent means". The concept of subversion, therefore, focuses on hostility to democratic processes.
Historically, Britain faced a real threat from subversive organisations seeking to undermine parliamentary democracy - and having the capability to do so - most notably during the Cold War. Indeed, some of these organisations and groups, which embraced both the extreme left wing (Communist, Trotskyist) and extreme right wing (Fascist), made no secret of their intentions and included those whose allegiance lay with countries hostile to the UK.
Their activities were of concern to successive governments and were an important subject of our attention. A particular focus of this work was to deny members of such groups access to sensitive government information. This was achieved through the vetting process instituted in 1948.
Subversive groups sought to infiltrate and manipulate bona fide organisations, such as trade unions or pressure groups, as a way of exercising influence out of proportion to any support they could achieve through the ballot box. We investigated the activities of the subversive groups, not the organisations they sought to penetrate. Individuals were never investigated merely because they were members of trade unions or campaigned on particular issues such as nuclear disarmament. (See also: "Myths and Misunderstandings").
Since the late 1980s, particularly following the end of the Cold War and the collapse of Soviet communism, the threat from subversion diminished and is now negligible. We do not currently investigate subversion.
Why?
Labour and Parliament have been trying to undermine the democratic process for years now, and even arranging to attack any parties they don't want.
