Moves by the British Military Intelligence agency, MI6, to enlist spies from minority ethnic communities will do nothing to reduce the sinister nature of the organisation, Republican Sinn Féin have said.

Moves by the British Military Intelligence agency, MI6, to enlist spies from minority ethnic communities will do nothing to reduce the sinister nature of the organisation, Republican Sinn Féin have said.

A spokesperson said “Over the course of the past number of months we have seen MI5 and MI6 advertise positions in local newspapers and on social networking websites such as Facebook. Despite such feeble attempts to soften their image, it is clear that applicants representing ethnic minorities are still reluctant to join in their campaign of murder throughout much of the world.

“Indeed, MI6 agents have been discovered operating within the 26-Counties on a number of occasions. It is also widely accepted that British intelligence agencies were responsible for masterminding the murder of Irish civilians in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.

“There is a duty on all people – whether they represent a minority ethnic community or not – to reject the activities of organisations like MI6.”
