Why spies are all kinds of dumbfcuks.

[lazybugger]

Brilliant old write up on how spies pretend they are relevant and that they know more than regular joe. The author uses events triggered by Mi5 to talk about the general cluelessness and incompetence of elite 'spies'.

It was an image that was powerfully helped by John Le Carre's novels - and his anti-hero George Smiley. Le Carre's novels were a clever piece of PR - because they appeared to be more gritty and realistic than the glamourised James Bond image.

But it was just another layer of deception - because Smiley and his search for a hidden mole expressed powerfully the paranoid and unfounded fantasies of the dissident MI5 agents.

But it was a world that was all made-up. Le Carre - who had himself been a spy - admitted this, and described what the true reality of the spy world was:

"For a while you wondered whether the fools were pretending to be fools as some kind of deception, or whether there was a real efficient service somewhere else.

Later in my fiction, I invented one.

But alas the reality was the mediocrity. Ex-colonial policemen mingling with failed academics, failed lawyers, failed missionaries and failed debutantes gave our canteen the amorphous quality of an Old School outing on the Orient express. Everyone seemed to smell of failure."

Reminds me of the time one of our teachers at school laughed hard when a parent introduced himself as working for RAW.

It made sense much much later.

someone should write a novel on how dumbfcuk CIA are too. I'd read that.

It reminds me of the silly conspiracy theories idiots like @Hercules are so confident in peddling here, and the dumbfcuks who lap it up here.

Should I start laughing at military personnel too?
