Was it George Smiley or James Bond?

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked that nos chers collègues in the fraternal halls of the EU Commission seriously believe that that we decent British chaps (er, and chapettes, too, of course!) have been bugging their private meetings as they discuss their plans to thwart Brexit.  Nevertheless, according to The Telegraph that is what the Gauleiters, ooops sorry, the Commissars, dammit, sorry again, the Commissioners of the EU believe has happened.  Apparently, some Top Secret minutes of a meeting they held were in British hands within hours.  I thought George Smiley had gone to his deep cover heaven years ago and that James Bond was living in an Old People's Care Home in Bournemouth.

What can one say except - HOONOO?

It would be nice to know that we, or at least our security services were so competent.
Or maybe they were just monitoring for hate crime - the only crime that counts now.

Being 'bugged' is normal reaction if the person, group or even country is perceived to be a threat to any social or political order.

Perhaps the successors to Sir Mansfield Cumming are doing what they are supposed to; i.e. protect Britain from external threats.

I did not realise Omarosa was stalking the halls of the EU

Here's a hypo for you, Gaffer.

Let's say May goes for a Remain-in-disguise Brexit deal, and Jezza goes for hard Brexit, and an election is called.

Who you gonna vote for?
