More like the Fleming version of Bond

MI5 has been doing a lot of PR in recent years. Adverts in liberal newspapers stressing the caring, sharing side of the secret police - a little hollow if you're from the six counties or any kind of dissident.

You'd be forgiven for thinking that they're all smartly-dressed young men Googling the bad guys. For a real insight, try reading this judge's report, in which he details MI5's complicity in torture and refusal to be honest with government and the courts.

Just like Fleming: his books are packed with sado-masochistic torture and contempt for democracy.
