It starts at 10:38

I saw this the other day and meant to listen to it. Thanks for reminding me!

You may know this already, but the woman in this interview is Annie Machon who has a very interesting history with MI5. She fell in love with her Section Head, David Shayler, who told her about several illegal activities he witnessed at MI5. She wound up resigning so he could go public with his claims. After they blew the whistle, they went on the run for quite some time. Just search her online and you will find her. It's all out there. Helluva story, actually. The point is, she is a very vocal activist re: the unethical practices of MI5 that put the UK at risk.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet [Spooks];
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.

~Wm. Shakespeare, Hamlet
