Comments by "Curious Crow" (@CuriousCrow-mp4cx) on "rogue agents in MI5" video.

The issue is that this person got through the recruitment process in the first place. And that his supervision was so deficient no-one knew about his tendencies. In this comtext, rouge agents are as much a threat as the threats we employ them to guard against. Temperament is key to being effective and reliable. However, nothing human is perfect, and things go wrong. I worry in the struggle to shape our nation, the Unintended consequence is to create more people like him who are quite unfitted for critical roles in society. We had the issue of undesirables entering the police, because effective recruitment was subjugated to the then Home Secretary's need to harmer headlines. Perhaps that has spread to MI5 too. A unreliable or uncontrollable sheepdog is a danger to the shepherd and the flock. Just a thought.
