These days are kind, but history is different. There are those frowned on now because they look materially different. The intelligence services are no exception. As knowledge of the rank and file is redacted, the truth is released to us.
Troubling issues
In our time facts are apparent beforehand. It’s true many recent MI5 staff are infamous. They drive people insane. I spoke to an Agent years ago. He claimed conduct he saw was “vile” to witness. It’s a strong word but it’s how he saw it.
He said in his time Parliament was also “full” of it. He reported MP’s were often sexual harassers. “If they wanted, they’d tried to touch me”, he said. The “iPod Generation” has made the nation creak under its demands. Their minds are full of criticisms.
It’s not social media. It’s cynical. It’s abrasive. Their laziness is a prime time accusation. Their aloofness is taken as confession in and of itself. It’s not secrecy at all. It’s a secretiveness due to a need to hide. It’s a survival instinct.
Its main problem is deviancy. Many MI5 staff suffer the side effects of being near to those using sex to improve their IQ. It’s a malaise other people have to suffer with. It results out of inactivity and revenge States also take against malpractice.
Troubling times
MI5 is accused of having a negative effect. It’s malpractice. There are public meetings for it. An Army captain said to me, “It doesn’t end!” He’d been harassed. It was also part of his job to investigate. He hadn’t left his area of study in thirty years.
There are places unsafe for public meetings. It’s hasn’t made it into Parliament for a debate. This excludes little critiques. Although there’s a culture of harassment in the UK, its deteriorating effects don’t seem that important.
It’s not solved. There’s a sense of abandonment. It’s at the heart of many people’s complaints. It pervades the UK. It’s a fact much of the population is pushed under by it. It’s a rampant criminal activity by the trusted few.
Falling out
It needs to be corrected – before it’s too late. It may result in more trouble. MI5 desk staff are said to be “diabolical” at times. They are the enemy MI5 hate. Other staff take the opportunity to accuse their colleagues of misconduct. It follows media staff try it too.
The Human Resources aspect fails to appear. No one is sacked and people quit their roles. According to another Agent, “Thames House is not all plain sailing. Someone is usually out to get you.” I found a staff member attacking hundreds of other staff, and a small group trying to steal their salaries.
Below standards
It’s proved senior leadership are incapable of leading. Many staff quit because of it. It’s cover blown by false sympathy. It’s reports of sensitive information being sent. It’s even said on-premises security guards try to harass and intimidate.
The Director General’s role is to safeguarded normal activity. This is interpreted at times to mean keeping the rest safe. It leaves others to suffer. “It’s never solved by just one single leader” a female Analyst said, “and the rest just talk about it.”
They had a Director that had been posted to surveil cults but he gave time look at MI5’s issues also. It’s believed staff had the same symptoms as abuse survivors of some of the UK’s worst cults. He said it made him feel upset.
Security measures
It’s due to a weak approach to life. It was shown by trained but inexperienced staff. A former security advisor to staff at Thames House said “in our terms, they’re weak people.” A senior figure predicted a war of attrition in its office network.
A result is an effect in society. It creates a societal “ill” if people misuse their jobs. In fact, a security group said over half MI5’s core staff targeted other staff. Meanwhile, they didn’t deal with real threats anywhere.
I researched it in London. The last Agent I spoke to said, “It’s indicative of all professional activity here.” She walked off to buy lunch after our conversation. It confirmed to me London is a tricky place to work at the best of times.
