They also theoretically defend against MI6 too, since MI6 has always been sympathetic to soviets-and in some cases modern Russia. But tbh they’re terrible at their job
I love that you guys will literally make a 40 seconds clip just to answer someone's question. Like amazing. Other channels will answer a yes or no question with a 15 min video and it gets annoying, so thank you infographics..
MI5 indicate targets of different priorities. Dangerous targets are marked for death. Others could be of the wrong party and are under surveillance and others are put out of action by bankruptcy, the divorce courts, prison or mental homes. Think SNP politician Willie McRae and you'll get the picture.
MI5 is inside the UK, MI6 is everywhere, in the USA, you could be sitting next to an MI6 agent who’s looking over your shoulder on the subway, walking past your home, you wouldn’t know one if you spotted them, only if they felt you could be a threat or could locate a threat to King and Country.
Tour guide told me. The 5 and 6 is the "MI" refers to the alphabet acronym to the department. Mi5, 5th letter of the alphabet "E" England and 6th "F" so Mi6 for foreign.
Basically the 00 for MI6 is essentially the best they have, so yes there would be a 007 out there just not what we see in movies, I believe currently it goes from 001 to 019.
@@ripoutyourintestines5099 I know….. that’s why I said it…. And you don’t know, 007 could be called James Bond, have a preference for vodka martinis, sleep with every woman he meets and is a master in the casino
There were also many other mi sections, 4 was responsible for maps and 9 was to help allied troops behind enemy lines in ww2. All disbanded except 5 and 6 now
My auntie in fact works with both of these, not necessarily specifically with them but her job is basically to train others and teach them for interviews to then join either one or other national security agency in the UK I think.
Real question is what is MI1, MI2, MI3 and MI4??? And the super shadowy MI7 that NOBODY talks about - I AM NOT saying it involves ALIENS, but yeah my contacts say it involves ALIENS and is run by THE QUEEN - who a lizard person. :P
If you're American, or at least a bit familar with FBI and CIA then MI5=FBI and MI6=CIA. Of course each agency isn't the exact same but they have similar concepts.
May have well have made a video on all the Intel services in the UK GCHQ is the NSA comparison in the UK who work on cyber threats and security. And Aside from that you get task forces that specialise in things such as Anti-terror who may be agents from all 3 and police forces working together.
