Labour’s attempted infiltration of MI6 isn’t a sideshow, but a serious concern in UK politics and in our society at large.
It’s because their efforts encompassed Vauxhall Cross, a vital base for its operations and an internationally sensitive site.
It’s because their infiltration included techniques of persuasion that actually manipulated key staff and led to health difficulties.
It’s because their aims confused the mission of the agency and it detrimentally affected its reputation in the UK for a brief time.
The motives of a political party aren’t the same. It conflicts with peaceful efforts as well as with the serious issues of potential conflicts of interest.
A need to breathe
It’s long believed that UK citizens are taking tactics from around the world to gain social advantage in all quarters to unfairly promote their amateur agendas.
This results in the coring of professions as totally unqualified individuals promote their way through businesses to stump up false political platforms.
Its repetitive activity creates a field of losers that demonstrate a habitual tendency to embarrass, and to deny other people their futures.
This seemed to be the case with Labour activists and their relentless drive to take positions in MI6 offices and pursue fruitless ends.
A curious case
It’s particularly acute that these people believed they were acting in good faith, for the good of the country and benefit of the world.
A former staffer for MI6 who worked across Whitehall departments said it worried her that “hundreds” of Labour activists were infiltrating her workplace.
She noted they weren’t all University graduates or even “enlightened” on political issues, and so their agenda wouldn’t work anyway.
It appeared indoctrination had spread in Labour meetings, and that protest activity gave rise to a belief in the present moment.
Further problems
In any event, it’s not just the fault of the few, but also includes those on the fringes that may enable it to happen in the first place.
It’s believed repetitive attempts were made to impair attempts to stop the infiltration, mainly by misinformed MI6 staff in the UK.
This resulted in threats to life and no small interruption to the everyday operations of the UK’s only acknowledged overseas Intelligence body capable of such work.
It’s confusing why such people would risk all our lives, lowering our defences and letting outside agents do their work also, but the effort to understand takes time.
