Britons take a thousand spies

The British intelligence service MI6 expands the number of spies considerably.

The chief of intelligence, Alex Younger, said this week that for the time being will continue for years the threat of Islamic terrorists. Conquer territory by Islamic State is not a real solution, he argued.

MI6, by authors such as John le Carré (George Smiley) and Ian Fleming (James Bond) known and made famous by the general public, operates in foreign countries with the aim to defend British interests.
