Nigel Farage has slammed MI6 for flying the Pride flag from its building for the month of June, claiming it is "not what our intelligence services are for".Speaking on his GB News show, the presenter accused MI6 Chief Richard Moore of "boasting" about the decision.FULL STORY HERE.
00:00So the what the Farage rule moment of the day is that just one day after the strategic defence review, we've been discussing how important all that is.
00:07The head of MI6 posts a boastful tweet to mark Pride Month and to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ plus colleagues.
00:18MI6 is proudly flying the pride flag from Vauxhall Cross along the inside the union flag for the whole month of June.
00:30This is nonsense. It's absolute nonsense. We just don't need this.
00:38Quite honestly, it really makes me angry. It's not what our intelligence services are for.
00:44I don't mind them flying the national flag. But this. Well, help me, Stephen.
00:49I mean, have I got something wrong here? Is any of this necessary?
00:54Well, the security services are practised in the art of deception.
00:58I'm not sure what we're going to say. I think actually this is an example of life imitating art.
01:05I noticed in the last Bond movie, 007 was a woman and Q turned out to be gay.
01:11So I suspect that's what's happening here.
01:14Doctor Who, who knows? We don't need this nonsense, do we?
01:17Well, I mean, I wouldn't treat it too seriously. To be perfectly honest, I don't think it is that important one way or t'other.
01:27I'm surprised at it. But, you know, it makes little difference to me.
01:32What I want to know is that we're recruiting decent agents who can do the job that they're being paid to do.
01:38And quite frankly, I don't care very much about their sex or their gender.
01:43No, nor do I, which is why I don't want to see the flag.
01:46I don't care. I'm not interested.
01:48I think that we're beyond whether we're interested or not interested.
01:52It's just pandering, isn't it?
01:55It's part of that woke thing where people just think it's the right thing to do.
01:59I think society's moved on. I genuinely do.
02:02Look after your staff. Make sure you employ the right people.
02:06And you don't have to do anything than have a staff member of the month.
02:10I know.
02:11You celebrate internally. You don't need to do that.
02:13And this whole wokery has gone through not just government, but much of the corporate sector too.
02:18I think the pendulum will come back on all of it.
