In the early investigation into people trafficking launched by the police in the UK it quickly became clear there was disarray at the heart of the UK’s intelligence service.
The thick walls and sealed doors were only a comfort to those who worked there. It was these same people who were tasked with securing the UK’s borders who quickly found they just couldn’t do it.
They had money, the apartments, and even laptops aplenty. It was just the skill and will power that was lacking at the very start. It didn’t phase them to begin with because in that state anyone is the enemy.
It could even be anyone of us.
In the ensuing investigation our police force managed to regain control over its own assets.
This was the bulk of the work which engaged law enforcement agencies in the UK to start with and it was this progress that led to the end of such gross mismanagement of national security.
In today’s terms it’s better.
The industries and professions of the UK are returning to normal and have their strength back. It was an over-reliance on tech and intrusive methods that marred the early progress of MI5.
In contemporary terms much of the idea it has about itself is dead. If anything remains it’s the will to secure the UK for the future.
