MI5 Persecution: Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant

MI5-Victim

-= Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=

Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the start. One of the first
things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so far away
the precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the
details, and although archives if they exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that open to
re-interpretation.

In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in the studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said,
"You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for attempted manslaughter".

That mirrored something I had said a day or two before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in the studio he was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it could be found there; what he said
was so out of context that he would be very hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the site where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there had been people in a
computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went off and those people
were "thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter".

Finally, this isn't confined to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a pirate radio station in South London for about
half an hour, there was an audible phone call in the background, followed
by total silence for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk to us now, isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear what I would say in my room.

Not true she was a spy from the beginning because Taylor knew there was a spy,
and as we saw Skye was being blackmailed for the cure.

She was sick at the time of her disappearance.

The diease took out half the colony at that time. Taylor probably was told of
Skye's mother's death by Skye herself and he likely thought she was disposed of
with the rest of the victims.

In other words, we simply don't know what all transpired between Mom's
"death" and that first tree house visit that we saw Skye make.

Yeah, I keep wanting to give the writers the benefit of the doubt when I
can't remember something, and they keep reminding me that they don't
deserve it. Just add this Mom business to the Supremely Stupid Plot
Points category.

I did some more checking back and in the tenth episode "Within" when Commander
Taylor and Jim confronted her outside of relay station nine Skye said
specifically that she snuck her mother out of Terra Nova to the Sixer Camp
after her father died. There Mira made a deal with her to treat her mother in
exchange for intel.

I must have already been overloaded by the stupid and missed this. As if
Skye should be able to permanently sneak a *healthy* person out of camp
without anyone realizing it, let alone a sick one who presumably needed
to be dragged or carried or some such thing.

And we're to believe that *no one* ever said anything like "Say, Skye,
how's your mom doing these days?" Or maybe even "Say, Skye, did it ever
occur to you that your mom just vanished?" It wasn't exactly a huge
colony at that time, after all. Heck, it's *still* not a huge colony.

Because it makes all kinds of sense that some tree house dwellers would
have better medical capabilities than the official residents...
