Masopher's Mind

A gentleman who once worked for the British Foreign intelligence Service, or Secret Intelligence Service, SIS and also know as MI-6 was nabbed trying to sell secrets to a “foreign intelligence agency”. Insiders tell me it was Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service who recently assassinated a Palestinian Hamas leader in Dubai.

Sources report that this man living in council flats!!!With a roommate!!! By the way a council flat is semi free housing that the UK gives to impoverished single mom’s and crippled/retarded citizens. Australian students are sometimes found in council flats as well.

MI6 has come a long way from gentleman spies in Aston Martins or even the lordly nobles in foreign courts. An agent is caught in his council flat for stealing from a friendly agency and selling to Israelis???? WhatWouldJamesBondDo? (WWJD?)

The starting salary for some of the more sexy roles in MI6 start at 20K but other roles…administration etc. are a good deal lower. The British government is in so much debt it wouldn’t surprise me if the secret service got a secret paycut forcing a force of men and women with a lot of data and very little money. Slipping some passports to the CIA or Mossad may seem very tempting when facing poverty.

Here are a few links for posterity.
