Black Ops

Not enough of Britain's taxpayer-funded snoopers are from ethnic minorities, according to the head of GCHQ. Ahead of the game as ever, the national security agencies actively enforced a colour bar until some point in the 1980s; presumably late in the decade, since the exact date is apparently dangerous enough to still be covered by the Official Secrets Act. Nowadays the lack of non-white spooks is presumably the result of recruiting from such hotbeds of British institutional non-racism as public schools and Oxbridge, which gave us the likes of David Cameron and Boris Johnson. Nevertheless, the dearth of diversity may prove dangerous in the future, as it will add to the difficulties of infiltrating politically correct organisations at home and uppity colonies abroad.
