It has been said before that the lion's share of missions and projects of intelligence services is not directed at rivalling or hostile faction and targets, but is focussing on the manipulation of own country's population.
the internet and mass media make it hilariously easy to commit character-assassination or to overrule unwanted opinions by mere volume.
That the Brits, like any other PR agency, advertisment company, political lobby worker and so on, do that, is not shocking, the GCHQ just is an obedient servant of a deeply criminal and disgusting organisation called "state". Shocking only is the unbelievable willingness of ordinary people to not care for it even when learning about it, and to let this happen to them.
He who voluntarily wriggles on the ground like a worm, should not complain when being walked over and stepped upon - he asked for it.
