MI6 – or SIS to some people – is the name of our remit in the international world of spying, espionage, and Intelligence gathering. In fact, these are just some of the words or terms used to describe what it is, but they’re popular and so it makes sense to use them.
The actual body or office that is MI6 (SIS) has a lot of functions, and a lot to do in world affairs. It may be AI now or some other technology later, or healthcare and its uncertain status, or military funding and how it works. Whatever it is, its staff is supposed to be particularly good at making sure we’re safe whatever the future is like.
The speech by its newest head on Monday, Blaise Metreweli, was a succinct explanation of how it stands at the present moment. It’s a developing situation on all fronts according to insiders, but what they can say is where they’ve got an upper hand on our behalf.
The rest is always a work in progress, and it shows on the faces of its representatives that meet people to account for it from time to time. It’s worth having, and its usefulness is put into our main institutions daily, as well as into our main innovations as a State over time.
