Sir Alex Younger's discussion marks the first time that a serving chief of MI6 had given a recorded interview.

"Clearly we've got to be able to internalise the lessons of the past and move on in a way that we learn from them and where we can avoid any repetition of mistakes."

"You've got to be really clear what mode you are in, and in fact this is one of the big lessons of the past. As intelligence professionals we are habitually very, very disciplined in distinguishing between fact and analysis.The chief of MI6 had given his first ever recorded interview "What you're looking for is an environment where we can express our opinions honestly and where it would be odd if there wasn't divergence between them, and for there to be a really active debate and for us to get to what we think is the right answer or to a consensus, and then we go with it."

He has been Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service since 2014 but told Bunkall that he never had ambitions to lead SIS, instead seeing himself as"an operational officer"."It was a transition to start thinking about myself as a senior leader. I'm extremely grateful to people around me who perhaps saw it more in myself than I did in me."

No shit Sherlock?

We havent helped either

Warmongering chart

And it all comes down to about a half dozen of psychotic, strutty roosters all pushing the world to the brink trying to prove how strong and tough they are. They are all truly pathetic human beings. Its not right that we are all held to ransom by them.

No shit Sherlock..😂💚💛🧡💜❤💙

McDuff73 Definitely!! Huge surge in English naziism, the rise of the far right in USA, UK, Australia, Turkey, Bolivia its horrid.

It probably is but not in the way he means. Annihilation of humans would be a top result for the planet because it could recover from the damage we’ve done. Destruction of societies would mean the end of claret-fuelled lunches at the Travellers. That’s Mr Spook’s real worry.

False

Shambles151 It might ease things off a bit if our intelligence services stayed out of affairs that don't need interfering with.

AshaSin24116510 And a lot of it is down to him & his masters in America, Israel & Saudi Arabia The media will never tell you Ml6 helped Saudi, America & Israel to arm & train ISIS to kill Assad Ml6 Devils were never the protectors of the British People They served foreign interests from Day1

Better call Saul

Not surprising with Trump as commander in chief.. Boris Johnson in number 10.

We pray to God for peace in the world !!

And a lot of that 'Danger' comes from the nefarious stuff the intelligence community does. You need more oversight!

MI6 chief comment rewrite - the leaders of the world are no longer getting what they want untested and unquestioned we are (the elites) are in the most danger since the end of the cold war.

Of course it is...it got much worse when Trump became president.

Roughly translates as 'Can we have a bigger departmental budget after the election please?'

Cold war or WW1 ?

Scare mongering bullshit...

Letters: The people who do not care about Brexit either way have been left out in the coldPlease send your letters to lettersindependent.co.uk They can vote based on other promises by the parties. Victim politics at its best again this is what people hate about the progressive movement they are always victimized. That is because no Brexit means no future. Brexit has to be resolved (and the UK leave the EU) before ANYTHING else, since it will set the tone for the next 50 years. Can't make policy when you don't even know what policies need to be made. I’m more worried about Johnson negotiating FTAs, USA after our nhs, India/Asia want us to relax our immigration visas, Canada waiting to see how desperate 🇬🇧 will be when negotiating trade deals.Out of 40 trade deals we have thro EU, not many signed over after.Brexit VoteLabour
