MI6 says, “James Bond is bad for recruiting?”
The success of the James Bond movies has given the British Secret Intelligence Service a recruitment headache — too many cranks want to join MI6.
“I think it gives people a false impression of what working for the organization is actually like,” the head of MI6 recruitment — named only as “Mark” — told BBC Radio One’s Newsbeat program on Monday.
“So it does tend to turn up quite a lot of thrill seekers and fantasists and we’re really not interested in them.”
As well as dismissing the notion that spying was a never-ending life of fast cars, fast women and shaken not stirred Martini cocktails, “Mark” was keen to demolish another myth surrounding MI6.
“We don’t have a license to kill — we don’t carry Berettas — that’s simply not true.”
