Welcome to the Escape Blog

Interesting at the moment, and I may well be way-off mark. Also, please note for all you spies tracking my post, this is a personal observation.

1. There is a current story in the press in the UK about the suspected poisoning of the exiled former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. It’s big news. I can’t remember the last time I heard a story like this in the press. I can imagine these things happen all the time but we never hear about it. How comes this one made the news?
2. There is also a new James Bond Movie out.
3. Serving MI6 agents have given their first ever media interviews Colin Murray’s BBC Radio 1 show (ref. BBC) in an attempt to attract younger recruits to the spy service.

I guess in the cluttered media world of the young, even MI6 needs some exposure.
