UK spy chief says MI6 ‘doesn’t do culture wars’ but does want greater diversity

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:33 GMT

The head of the U.K.’s Secret Intelligence Service said MI6 “doesn’t do culture wars.”In an interview with POLITICO in Prague, Richard Moore was asked why he added “he/him” to his Twitter bio and if MI6 had “gone a bit woke?” “I can say to you comprehensively that MI6 doesn’t do culture wars,” Moore said, “but what I do want is for my service to better represent the country we serve. That’s a noble aim, in my view, but it’s also an intensely practical aim. Diversity brings greater creativity, better problem-solving.”“And if you add the rather obvious point that if you have officers of ethnic minority, they might just give you some cultural insight that you might otherwise lack, as well as perhaps not looking like me on the streets of some other parts of the world.”Moore was speaking to POLITICO’s Anne McElvoy in a rare interview, which can be seen here.

Trimming Rain Chances & Humidity

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:33 GMT

Well, well, what do we have here? A 7 day forecast with more dry than wet? Looks to appear that way. With that said, it’s not a perfect stretch of summer weather, but certainly one of the better runs we’ve have over that last several weeks. Let’s start with today. Smoky/hazy/foggy sunshine will yield to a mix of hazy sun and clouds this afternoon as highs head for the mid 80s. With temps in the 80s, dew points will fade back to the lower 60s this afternoon, allowing for a bit more of a comfortable summer’s day. While not a dramatic drop off, trimming the humidity a bit will be a welcomed change. We’ll also trim the rain chances this afternoon as just a spot shower/sprinkle is possible near the South Coast. The air quality will be unhealthy for sensitive groups today for a large part of New England thanks to some of that smoke. Tomorrow will be similar. Dew points fade into the lower 60s. Coastal afternoon temps run in the mid to upper 70s while we p...
