Mi5

Glad to hear on the news last night that MI5 have detected several attempts by Al Qaeda to infillrate sleepers into the organization.

This was given in a statement read by Mohammed "Kim" Philby, proud holder of the Order of Lenin.

Are you trying to be funny?

It is true, he has never been funny!

I wonder if the Banks / Police & other institutions vetting processes are as robust in view of the current fad for 'diversity'

I thank you...

I must however point out the slight errors in my post.

Harold "Kim" Philby was in MI6, not MI5.

And his father, rather than he, was the Arabist.

Well there was that one incident in 1975, with the flying goggles and the wet celery...

I thought we didn't speak about that?

[The Lone Gunman]

That wasn't funny, it was peculiar.

There's a bit of a difference...

I thought it was funny!

And Harold "Kim" Philby was famous for being the "Third Man"... employed by HM Secret Service and the KGB at one and the same time.

And he did get the Order of Lenin if I remember correctly.

Was that Philby of Arabia?
