Paris terror attack: Britain to hire 2,000 new spies
The Telegraph ^ | 11/15/15 | Christopher Hope

Posted on 11/15/2015 5:11:51 PM PST by markomalley

An additional 2,000 spies will be hired at MI5, MI6 and GCHQ to fight those "who would destroy us and our values" in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, David Cameron has said.

The number of spies will rise by 15 per cent in what is expected to be the biggest expansion of the security services since the 7/7 terror attacks in London in July 2005.

The Prime Minister will also say that the budget for security at foreign airports should double £18 million a year after a Russian passenger plane was apparently destroyed by a bomb earlier this month.

Mr Cameron said: "Our intelligence agencies work round the clock behind the scenes and as the threat has grown so they too have risen to the challenge.

"Much of what they do cannot be seen by us or talked about but their courageous and determined efforts allow us to go about our daily life.

Meanwhile, Obama has made it clear he will continue to direct America’s security forces to spy on American conservatives, while importing new mobs of Syrians.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Get rid of Dave and dig up Churchill’s bones. His dead body could do a better job. Dave couldn’t carry Churchill’s jock. England ,France,Germany and Sweden are on life support if push comes to shove.

Britain to hire 2,000 new spies

OK, then. Since Britain is committed to diversity, how many of those new employees must be Muslim?

What they need are mroe James Bonds.

What they’ll hire is more pajama boys.

If only GB would return to the great nation it once was.

Then they could save us.

That is funny but has an element of truth to it. I bet some are.

...to fight those "who would destroy us and our values"

Mr. Cameron, you are destroying yourself and your values all by yourself by inviting all the mohammadens to the UK.

A big price tag on allowing Moslems into your country, and that doesn’t even include the price of terrorism.

It’s not a long step from spying on muslim fanatics to labeling all Christians as such. I wouldn’t be enthusiastic to embrace a deeper level of domestic spying. Why, one might think that certain traitors might actually purposefully bring in terrorists so as to justify draconian domestic policies including gun control... you name it.

Additional Intelligence assets are useless without the political will of the National Command Authority to make use of actionable intelligence.

Britain likely has the will. France now has the will.

I am not sure that the US NCA has the will. 0bola is probably pissed that he might have to appear to do something against the Islamists.

Re Muslims probably being among Britain's new spies: As Sheldon Cooper would say, "It's funny because it's true." Except that long term, it is, of course, not funny.

In Britain, PC trumps every other concern, including the security of the state. The rest of Western Europe and the US are not that far behind.

Vive Marine Le Pen!
Vive Viktor Orban!
Vive Donald Trump!

This announcement will give ISIS a heads up, and prompt ISIS to put a few of their people into the new class of spies.
Or encourage a clean record Muslim who has "gotten religion" recently to penetrate the Govt. so he or she can be of use to Allah. - Tom

And, PM Cameron, these 2,000 new spooks will have “double zero” [licensed to kill] status to deal with the Islamic terrorists?

I'd wager that at least fifty of those hired turn out to be Islamist terrorists themselves.
