“James Bond is a blunt instrument wielded by a Government Department. He is quiet, hard, ruthless, sardonic, fatalistic. […] He likes gambling, golf, and fast motor cars.”

Nonetheless, the security services themselves see matters more romantically:

“I’ve seen some of the coolest stuff. Things that will blow your mind.

“You have to be in it to see it.”

Kwame described himself as the director of organisational development – effectively the finance and HR director – and said part of the aim of the recruitment drive was to tell people that anyone can work for MI6, whatever their ethnicity or background.
