Alex Younger who heads British intelligence agency MI6 has revealed that
despite James Bond's many qualities, the fictional spy won't make it
into the agency in real life because he doesn’t have the requisite
qualities. Speaking to British website Black History Month, he said: “In
contrast to James Bond, MI6 officers are not for taking moral
shortcuts. In fact, a strong ethical core is one of the first qualities
we look for in our staff.
It’s safe to say that James Bond wouldn’t get through our recruitment
process and, whilst we share his qualities of patriotism, energy and
tenacity, an intelligence officer in the real MI6 has a high degree of
emotional intelligence, values teamwork and always has respect for the
law… unlike Mr Bond!”
