Recent Chicken Scratchings
The mysterious murder of Alexander Litvenko has caused a rift in Anglo-Russian relations in recent years. The topic has been a source of regular news fodder for the BBC.
With that in mind …
As I strolled out of Vauxhall Tube station earlier this week, I was surprised to see someone cleaning the windows of MI-6′s headquarters.
My first thought was this man really cleaning the windows or was he actually a Russian operative seeking to infiltrate British Intelligence’s offices?
There’s been nothing in the news about this, but then again, did you really expect there to be? Espionage is such a secretive game.

If this was just an ordinary window cleaner, you know he was blasting all the James Bond theme songs on his iPod.
I am surprised you took a picture of this building and lived to tell about it.

Like the ‘window-washer’, I must have been outside the view of the CCTV. The ‘window-washer’ was just above the cameras and well, I must be been outside their range as well.
That said, if I go missing after this post, at least you’ll know where to start looking.

How would we know where to look? Wouldn’t it make sense that MI-6 would put you somewhere no one would think to look if they were that concerned about your ability to hack into government secrets? Maybe the British version of Gitmo????

Well, at least you could start asking questions of the British Gov’t …
@ Liam,
If I were the British government, I would not like people “snooping” around about a possible spy — perhaps that would end up with me and you being together in some unknown, inescapable locale!
