Every corner, every moment, whether the homeland or overseas territories, whether Britain or France, is under our surveillance to ensure your safety and order. No matter where you are, please don't forget, Sir Arthur Hastings, our Big Brother, is watching you.
——"The Man Behind the Secret Intelligence Service: Arthur Hastings"
After 25 years of war and peace, I still believe this is the best intelligence agency in the world. The only mistake is the politicians playing with intelligence. They misuse intelligence personnel to smear their domestic political opponents. The intelligence personnel under the current government seem uninterested in safeguarding the Empire's military and territorial security but are eager to dig up the Prime Minister's political opponents' gossip, to see who is sleeping with whose sister-in-law, and do everything possible to leak this information to "The Times" or the "British" press.
