    ‘For Germany, where Huawei is a provider of core parts to telecoms operators, a ban is not an option. ‘

    The BBC doesn’t seem to have reported these comments by EU Eminence Guy Verhofstadt as he mocks Britain for supposedly handing over its sovereignty to China via Huawei and ironically, that what we need is more EU, a faster and more all-encompassing Empire….

    ‘ Verhofstadt said:

    What is, in fact, threatening Britain’s sovereignty most? The rules of our Single Market, or the fact tomorrow there will be maybe Chinese 5G masts planted in the British Isles?

    …European Countries lost their sovereignty a long time ago, and Europe is the way to regain that sovereignty in the coming years.’

    Curiously what we also don’t hear from the BBC, or Verhofstadt, is this…seems the EU has sold its sovereignty to China as well then as it applies the same criteria Britain looks to be using for Huawei…

    ‘EU rules out Huawei ban — but maps out strict rules on 5G

    The EU has said member states should allow Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to operate within the bloc — but with strict regulations to protect national security.’

    Huawei is already in Germany’s core infrastructure…from the EU…

    ‘EU Member States appear to be seeking to avoid (partial) bans of telecoms vendors from specific countries on national security grounds, and believe that the security risks are manageable. For Germany, where Huawei is a provider of core parts to telecoms operators, a ban is not an option.

    And also…dependence, cost and delay makes replacing Huawei not an option…

    ‘hard economic realities, i.e. EU telecoms operators’ current high level of dependence on Chinese equipment (for instance in Germany and France). This makes its complete replacement with equipment from competitors fairly elusive in terms of capacities, and of the cost (UK) and potential delays this would entail for the rollout of 5G networks and the future of the EU’s digital single market – although these concerns are dismissed by some telecoms vendors. Neither would it be desirable from the point of view of the EU’s commitment to maintaining an open and competitive business environment with diversity of supply. ‘

    The EU also tells us there is no evidence that Huawei will act in the way the US claims…

    ‘From a legal perspective, Chinese companies and individuals are obliged under penal sanctions to cooperate in intelligence gathering under the Chinese National Intelligence Law as well as under other relatedChinese laws. Hence, the US has claimed that China could use Huawei’s 5G network gear as a Trojan horse, by compelling operators to spy, steal corporate, government or military secrets and transmit data to the Chinese authorities. However, the US has provided no evidence to substantiate this claim.

    Huawei almost certainly represents a risk but then so does Apple, Google, Facebook etc etc etc…buy an Android phone and you can see Google try to hijack it and force you to use its services and every app you load onto it grabs all your data and sends it who knows where. We know the US has backdoors in computers and other kit that get exported to places of interest to the US so that they can snoop and exploit at will…and you can be sure that GCHQ is just as well connected and plugged into foreign data as anyone.

    And if not Huawei who? And can you guarantee that this other company is not siphoning off your data to China or Russia or the US or the EU because of who owns it or because an insider is grabbing that data and passing it on? For instance any Chinese influence inside the Korean Samsung? All the private companies providing 5G like Ericsson, Nokia, T-Mobile, AT&T…what if Chinese companies bought their shares?

    Huawei seems like a risk that can’t be stopped but only overseen and managed to a certain extent…it must be impossible to stop the Chinese, or any other foreign power, from accessing the networks one way or another.

    Sorry if this has been covered before, but listened a bit to R4 yesterday (I know I shouldnt, but it is our guilty secret) Aunty very vexed that so few “MEN” were convicted of rape last year.
    Maybe Aunty should have pointed out to plod that if he looks properly in some Northern towns (and perhaps even London) there should be some low hanging fruit ripe for the picking as I heard that these places are full of “MEN”
    Shant hold my breath on that one though, I suspect the police are still at full stretch detecting “bacon” crime or similar.

    By the way has Alastair Stewart been interviewed by the police yet? I am thinking of making a hate crime accusation just for the hell of it and because I can.
