    What’s the false evidence? I see the part about the interview with BBC but I don’t understand what is false or evidencial about it?

      There’s a lot more detail in this BBC story but it still seems likely there’s an injunction against publishing any specifics of the lies MI5 told.

      My interpretation is that “Beth” was assaulted on multi occasions by a right wing MI5 informant. She reported this to the police and the suspect was arrested. However while in custody the suspect insisted he was an MI5 operative and MI5 was contacted, MI5 then intervened and had the informant was released.

      Most likely MI5 then lied about intervening (the false evidence) but the BBC have clear evidence that MI5 took charge of evidence. Thus MI5’s lies were exposed.

      The police did not take a full statement from Beth or obtain the video of her being attacked. The CPS quickly discontinued the prosecution.

      The police force concerned and the CPS insist the case was discontinued due to lack of evidence.

      Police said they did not seize any items as part of their own investigation, and were “unable to advise when or why these were taken”.

      This was untrue, as the police force concerned was responsible for calling in counter terror officers.

      The police claim that property had been returned to X was also untrue - the material had been given to MI5.
