  • MI6 hit out at FCDO for fakery

    MI6, otherwise known as The Secret Service, has called on the government to change its ways with the Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office or see its closure.

    The private briefing, issued by the Military Intelligence body based along the River Thames in London, is a shocking expose of mismanagement amid a culture of corruption and professional embarassment.

    “We believe too many mistakes have been made to justify calling a broken department by itself a Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office. We also believe a new name is contingent on a new practice of taking the best advice from across the UK, not sourcing it from overseas materials or assets that don’t belong to us.”

    – MI6/Release.

    Their contention is its name is problematic to the UK’s standing overseas, being associated with lacklustre performance and a routine abuse of recruitment practices.

    However, it doesn’t suggest a change of name outright because it may not be followed by working practices that meet professional and modern standards of behaviour here.

  • MI6 call on PM to retract pro-Gaza message

    MI6, the nation’s secret service, has hinted the Prime Minister should retract his Palestine statehood message in support of the UK’s position in the wider world.

    It’s believed his statement has destabilised overseas relations, and led to confusion about the progress of real work being done to assess realities apart from protest.

  • MI6 failed us on Dover

    MI6 – or SIS, to some people – is a body that purports to handle Intelligence gathering but also spying overseas. It’s a highly technical and specialised type of role to have, if you’ve got one.

    The trouble is, MI6 has been in dire straits since its move to Vauxhall Cross, a building in London that’s specially built for it.

    It’s alleged Civil Servants didn’t plan properly or appropriately for the new construction. Although the building is safe and sound for people inside, city planners weren’t given the correct information about it.

    It led to huge upsets that have continued to this day. It’s believed some Civil Servants continue to stress the situation but have failed to wholly scupper or sabotage the installation of its uses.

    However, it’s not just a story of Civil Servants in Whitehall. It’s also about MI6 staff themselves not providing the right information at the right time, or briefings to the right people at the right moments.

    This has continued to this day, too, and it’s led to failures like the Dover Crossings, which MI6 is in part responsible for.

    It’s not been possible to get a response from the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office, but this isn’t unusual. They usually don’t respond to requests for comment from anyone.

    It’s supposed to be a partner for the Intelligence services overseas, but it’s also known to be unhelpful. In fact, it’s been known to be “totally useless”, according to MI6 staff that can’t be named right now.

  • Revealed: US-Spain diplomacy outflows

    It’s alleged that US diplomats are now living in the EU member state of Spain throughout the year, using satellite technology to wire their work out to people.

    It’s also believed they’ve developed a policy called “Open Channel”, whereby everyone’s details are shared without any security protocols for privacy or secrecy.

    This means it can potentially leave exposed any sensitive details for tipoff to criminal entities and States across the world.

    It’s been a concern that volumes of formal communications to the Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office have seen a downward trend in recent years, and unofficial work conducted by staffers there has up-ticked.

  • The end of the Crossings isn’t the end of the matter

    The Dover Crossings has been a significant crime event on our landscape now for seven years. It’s taken far too long to make progress, and the country feels it.

    The sluggishness of our central administrative supports such as Whitehall is a scandal of their making in our times. It’s a simple course in management theory that would solve this.

    The end of it however is not the end of the whole matter. This Government – and many others – will still have to handle workloads. The fear is that it hasn’t got what it takes to really do it.
