Mysterious Menwith Hill is making the world safer - Christa Ackroyd...

He had, the reports tell us, been monitored for months not just by the US but by British intelligence experts. And they were watching that morning as the drone strike which killed him was launched. What’s more they were watching from Harrogate and Menwith Hill, which tells me all I need to know about why it is there. It makes the world a safer place.
Although I couldn’t say so at the time on the grounds of impartiality as I covered their presence and some of the arrests that subsequently happened, I can now say in this column that the demonstrators were wrong on both counts. Menwith, and the monitoring station known as Fylingdales on the North Yorkshire Moors are part of what keeps us safe. And we don’t know the half of it. But I suggest we don’t need to know either.
He added that while MI5 had saved thousands of lives it “cannot always succeed”. It is reasonable to suppose that some of those planned attacks were thwarted because of the highly trained men and women at Menwith Hill. That I believe is what they do.
