If they didn’t, someone else would.
It’s a catchy slogan;
“MI5 – Compromising Government Ministers So That Someone Else Doesn’t Have to Since 1946”
It’s true though. 🙂
It’s their job to ensure that government employees cannot be compromised.
That’s why vetting procedures are so stringent.
It’s hardly news.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist btw, far from it.
One word of caution that someone flagged up recently over a ‘young boys’ comment – up till 1994, the gay age of consent was 21, so something that was ‘underage’ then, wouldn’t be illegal now. Which of course opens up a huge can of worms when people are discussing past comments or knowledge about underage sex.
Good point.
