The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

google for "MI5 careers" and you'll find their latest offers and requirements. MI5 went further and launched a newspaper advertising campaign for a while, their logo was a bucket of water with a drop landing in it and the ripples.

its not open source, its translated into arabic, french, castilian spanish, chinese and ruskie.
But only the english pages offer you info on the work thing.
Now a few of ye will be a bit paranoid about logging on there, so here's the C&P of the job advice"Application Process" :-

"This varies according to the job for which you wish to apply but for all, the first stage is to send in your CV and a covering letter to The Careers Department, PO Box 1301, London SE1 5UD telling us which position you are interested in. We will only consider applications from people who meet the nationality rules. We will let you know as soon as possible whether we think you should progress to the next stage.

All potential recruits can expect a number of interviews and assessments. The assessments will be geared towards the position for which you are applying.

Upon the successful completion of the process any job offer will be subject to successful security clearance. Clearance will be by the Developed Vetting process and normally takes 2-3 months but can take up to 6 months. You will be guided through the process by a member of SIS's security staff. If you are already in paid employment you should not give it up until the vetting process is complete. Because of the vetting process we do not normally recruit staff under the age of 21.

IMPORTANT

Because of the nature of this work potential candidates should not divulge to anyone, other than a spouse or close partner, their application to SIS. Failure to observe the confidentiality of an application may affect eligibility for employment.
Diversity

The Service welcomes applications from all parts of the community."

***********************
there are various vacancies.
"Operational officers" : recruited for their interpersonal and intellectual strengths. Some bring specialist linguistic or technical skills on entry.

blah blah ribbid ribbid gurggle.
the best bit is this in the FAQ:-

Q. why can't I download or write to you via this site?

A. SIS has kept this site browse only for security reasons.

wow.

Now I posted this news here in other press for several reasons. In some ways we are "pop culturally" interested in the company of 007 and espionage in general. & many of us for political reasons wonder what are they up to. And many others would have thought of this article as "human interest" filler, yet others as a joke, and a few as an affront.

There's a Very good question there.
What are the brits up to?

Lets for a moment think that - Thatcher's 80th birthday, 13/10 during the lead up to the iraqi constitution vote, just as Blair had asked for extra police anti terror powers, and britons do seem to get into trouble with Iraqi plod more these days, and number 10 say the Iranians -
MI6 didn't just decide to launch a browse only website. Especially one which told us how "they have no powers of arrest", inviting all their fans and enemies to send their CVs to a PO box.

Nope. things dont work that way.
They were very publically spinning and @ the same time phishing, or rather letting it be known that a global phish had just occured.

Prove that a moment. Did their career advice stunt work with the appointment of a new 007 actor serve to spin the role of the intelligence agencies in British security?
yes / no?
Has there just been a very large scale near anomolous "search bot" going through the world's telecommunication systems?
yes/ no?

Whomever was resposible for this in the "accountability" (they told us about that too) sphere has the code name "R" and was appointed in the last 12 months from outside the british secret service.

I'll update
