Title: New job anyone
Post by: honeybun on March 05, 2015, 09:30:40 PM

Anyone fancy this job



UK intelligence needs to do more to recruit middle-aged women and mothers to be spies, using websites like Mumsnet, according to senior MPs.
In a report, the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said such women were an "untapped recruitment pool" for MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.
It said more than half of the civil service were women, but the figure was 37% in the intelligence agencies. 
Hazel Blears, the Labour MP who led the report, called for a culture change.

Do you think we should suggest MM too  ;D

Only problem being our meno brains would make us forget what we had to report, and we'd lose the people we were supposed to be following when we had to rush to the loo. 8)  At least the hot flushes would be beneficial - taking layers on and off all the time would keep changing our appearance.  ;D

And if we were interrogated we couldn't give away any secrets because we wouldn't be able to remember them.
