    Old school tie is still the most important aspect. Two examples: my former father-in-law had a lot of pressure put on him to join MI5 when he was a student at Oxford, despite the fact that he was a useless posh drunk. And a friend of mine who attended Eton school was recruited solely for that reason, and only afterwards were his MI5 handlers flabbergasted to learn that he could speak fluent Russian.

      That was true in the past and both a strength and weakness (Philby etc), but no longer true. For example when I was a civil servant I had to undergo a day long security interview before I was allowed to work in a ministers office. The guy who interviewed me wasn't a posh boy from Oxbridge, but a charming fellow from the Irish Republic.

      @@stevebarlow3154 Fair enough there, Ted. Although whatever the accents of the powers that be, I'm still not sure that they're all that reliable. For example, how was it possible for the UK security services NOT to foresee and prevent the recent racist riots? The people involved were hardly dastardly masters of disguise. Unless of course, it suited them for the riots to happen. That's possible, but on the road to conspiracist madness.

    The 'situational awareness test' is very difficult. Add to that all the other parts of the initial application process and the background checks along the way. One isn't allowed to tell anyone about your application. One isn't told how you've done on each part of the tests, only 'you're on to the next part' or 'you've not been successful'. There are English, maths and reasoning tests, all to be done in a time sensitive manner. One also has the video questionaire phase, observational skills and a mixture of other tests. If you get through all that, you're invited to Thames House or MI6's HQ for interviews and further group test scenarios. Even if you pass all that and are invited to become an IO, you're under probation and part of a small team within a department. There are a plethora of roles within 5 and 6, from data analysis, auditors, electronics, security, language experts, carpentry, right to field operatives. Expect much paperwork and little in the way of car chases.

The applicant cannot tell anyone else about their application, ongoing stages or if/when one is given a role within the organisation. After becoming an IO, in any role, one is not allowed to discuss any manner of one's work, from colleagues to actual operations. The OSA should be adhered to at all times, even after leaving the service.

      James Bond never worked for intelligence. He was an agent. That means he operated as he wished. So for instance if he was meant to acquire, gain access or sabotage he would be given a slush fund in order to make it happen. In the event he is killed it would not officially lead back to MI6.
      That is why you would see Bond Shmooze in Monte Carlo with an Aston Martin and dressed to the nines. Bond never really owned any of those things, they were all just material resources in order to penetrate a target.
      Someone who worked in intelligence is never going to tell you of any operational situations AKA Bond and they will say its all Hollywood but it isn't. Fact is stranger than fiction, Many successful business men today are not there for their smarts, they are capable assets.

      Then recall before every "mission" Bond saw "M" who was head of MI-6 for his assignment. And, when Bond was not happy with certain directives from "M", he'd be told, if he did Not wish to do the particular mission, he could be reassigned to "the Fleet".
      As for Bond and Vegas or Monte Carlo, the series Always showed him winning tens of thousands, plus picking up a woman at the casino. (those tens of thousands in the 60's would be more like 500K plus today. The idea: Bond had extremely good luck. Perhaps his deceased parents were helping him at the casinos and from getting shot.

    Most of what Mr Bickford goes on about is internal security and counter-intelligence work. Either he was the legal director of MI5 for much longer than for MI6 or what MI6's does has a higher security clearance level and he cannot talk about it.

    He was not the former Director of MI5 and MI6. MI5 (properly known as The Security Service) and MI6 (more correctly known as The Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), are two separate departments of Government. Each has its own Head - the head of the Security Service is named The Director General. The head of SIS is known as the Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service. The gentleman in the video is neither. He introduced himself as the Head of Legal Services for both the Security Service and the SIS. The presenters of such videos need to take a little more care in describing the contents.

    With due respect sir, I would like to drag your attention to the fact that NATO is the reason behind this war, Russia’s request to join NATO was declined everyone knows under who’s constant pressure, Russia is using Ukraine as a buffer state between NATO & Russia, the way China did with Tibet for India, speaking of China the west is failing to understand the fact that China is an economical supporter of this war so I think west should focus on supporters than on leader.
