    What was the name of that poor unfortunate Brazilian man they shot as a Terrorist in the Underground.

      Jean Charles de Menezes, who was acting suspiciously by having the face that he had.

      @@franciscruickshank8794 No the cia/nsa don't help finance any of the intelligence agencies in the uk. Gchq actually carry out work for the americans when they have a better capability or to help the US circumvent US law. For example the NSA is not allowed to spy on American citizens (obviously they can if they are being investigated) in general and the Cia can't carry operations on US soil, so they provide the information to MI6 and GCHQ who can legally spy on foreign states and they gather the information and pass it on to th americans. They work extremely close with one another but no country would accept funding for its most secretive agencies from a foreign nation it makes them vulnerable.

    Despite saying it was important to ensure the public do not suspect that practices were not a means of frightening the public in an attempt to get through restrictive legislation. However, the recently improved safety in the air has been achieved only at great inconvenience, cost and intrusion into the public's affairs.
    It started with the IRA and Palestinians but UK and other governments were not prepared to act decisively to defeat these groups.

    Cycling up to the 'Big House', there was a most beautiful American girl organising unloading a large truck.
    I called out "may I squeeze past?", she replied "you can squeeze anything you like honey", I nearly fell off my bike.

    In terms of protection against terror, he veers into effectively paraphrasing a joke that Giovanni Agnelli made on Top Gear about the Italian definition of road safety: 'Good hospitals'.

    In 1999, after 15 years with the ultra secretive Australian Department of Defence I was approached by GCHQ and offered a position as an Intelligence Specialist.
    I did not accept the offer of employment.

    Britain is already unsafe and under attack with mass immigration that will result in the destruction of western values, culture and heritage. GCHQ has not saved us. SOS from this horde.

    books by David Omand ..."How Spies Think: Ten Lessons in Intelligence"...Intelligence officers gather information - often contradictory or incomplete. In everyday life, you are faced with contradictory, incomplete information, too. Reading the news on social media, figuring out the next step in your career, or trying to discover if gossip about a friend is legitimate, you are building an image of the world and making decisions about it.
    Principled Spying: The Ethics of Secret Intelligence ...spying also poses inherent dilemmas for liberty, privacy, human rights, and diplomacy.
    How to Survive a Crisis: Lessons in Resilience and Avoiding Disaster
    "Securing the State"...when political institutions fail to balance justice, liberty, privacy, and civic harmony in the pursuit of security, they jeopardize the very trust and confidence they hope to inspire.

    Unfortunately the Manchester Arena bomber was actually given a boat trip home by the Royal Navy, so the Navy inadvertently facilitated that attack.
