MI5 seeks more gay spies
By Jean Eaglesham in London
Published: August 17 2008 23:14 | Last updated: August 17 2008 23:14
MI5, the UK security service, is looking to recruit more gay staff –
following many investment banks and private-sector employers – in a
move that reflects dramatic changes in the attitudes of the British
establishment over the past decade.

Stonewall, the gay lobby group, has been hired to advise MI5, the
domestic arm of the security services, on how to encourage its spies
to be more open about their sexuality and how to attract more gay
applicants for posts.



The contract marks a significant change in stance by MI5. Gay men and
women were barred from working in sensitive posts in the diplomatic or
security services until the early 1990s, a quarter of a century after
sexual acts between men were decriminalised in 1967. The ostensible
rationale was concern that gay spies could be vulnerable to blackmail,
while gay ambassadors could exacerbate tensions between the UK and
countries that still criminalise homosexuality.

MI5 would have been highly unlikely to want to work closely with
Stonewall in the decade to 2002, when the group was headed by Angela
Mason. Ms Mason was tried and acquitted in the 1970s of planting bombs
on the doorsteps of Conservative ministers.

Jonathan Evans, who became MI5 director-general last year, has now
sanctioned a policy of targeting the gay community as potential
recruits. Stonewall will include the security service in its guide of
gay-friendly employers this year. The lobby group is also advising MI5
on how to create a supportive environment for its existing gay
employees.

The decision is part of a broader cultural shift by the service, away
from the traditional “tap on the shoulder by a don” method of
attracting Oxbridge graduates to a more open recruitment of people
from across society. The change is driven partly by necessity – MI5
has been rapidly recruiting hundreds more staff since the July 7 2005
bombings.

Ben Summerskill, Stonewall’s current chief executive, said on Sunday
that MI5 faced the same dilemma as other employers for whom the
calibre of employees makes a difference to organisational performance,
but who have traditionally recruited from a relatively narrow base.

Stonewall has been working with investment banks for the past five
years to try to help them reach employees who do not conform to City
stereotypes.

Hmm. If the intention is to infiltrate Londonistan, then openly homosexual 
agents would not be a bright choice. :D

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.....

I have no problem with gays or being gay. Other than the fact I am 
hetrosexual.  Gays do not bother me one way or the other, especially as 
I am not pretty enough to be of interest to them :-)

To old? No. My age is not a problem for intelligence work.
To soft? Yes for military service my power to weight ration is not what 
it was....  though not to soft for intelligence work

openly dense? Well Jesse as you have shown here many many times you are 
not really bright enough or educated enough to judge.

What is your day job then Jesse. Astound us with the interesting and 
responsible position you now hold?  Just what is it that a superior 
white American like your self does?

That is apart fron running scared every time the word g-a-y is mentioned 
like a headless chicken and protesting far too much for some one who is 
confident in their sexuality

Love and kisses your Chrissy

In case you have not noticed, I will spell it out for you.

I will debate and respond to you when you act like a serious adult.
I will not, when your only obvious intention is to bicker and bait, 
troll & flame.
I will not take the bait and indulge your apparent passion for 
repetitive, childish games.

Hope thats clear enough for you.

Evasion and equivocation from Jesse...

Jesse said
>>>>  MI5 seeks more gay spies
>>> Chris comes to mind .... Probably too old, soft & openly dense though

Then demands I behave as an adult... :-)   I thin my reply was mature 
and sensible and I sak again (with no hope of an answer as Jesse is 
white trash and at the bottom of the pile)

Jesse what is your day job? What does your towering intellect do all 
day?
What has your life amounted to? Apart from being uneducated ignorant 
white trash with a job at the bottom of the pile and many blacks, 
Hispanics and gays in jobs above you and your intellect?
