What I was wondering is whether anyone has ideas on who are spooks work for. They don't seem to be doing anything on the financial crisis but must be involved. I guess they can't reveal sources and methods and keep them effective and protected - yet SIS was hardly an early warning system in 9/11 and other bombings and certainly not on the financial crisis. I'd have set them on the banks needing bailout and I do wonder whether some of the fines being levied have come via such information. In camera deals are typical of SIS. I believe we are subject to a shadow government to which our politicians are subservient - but to say this is little more than 'Yes Minister' and public choice theory.

I'd be interested to know what our general opinion is on who our secret services are and what they do. I had some passing experience with a few, usually in military context. The standard joke went a bit like this:1. Who are the KOSBs? = The Kings Own Scottish Borderers.2. Who are the QOSBs? = The Queens Own Scottish Borderers.The British Army had many OSBS.3. So what do we call Intelligence? = LOSBs.4. And what does that stand for? = Loads of Stupid Bastards.I was on many futile and utterly barking undercover ops that were nothing like James Bond. There are some comedies by Charlie Owen that get nearer the mark. What are our guesses on what SIS is and who it serves?
