Senior MPs in the UK have called for agencies like the MI6, MI5 and GCHQ to use websites like Mumsnet to recruit spies. The remarks come as part of calls to increase the number of middle-aged women and mothers working in intelligence. The Intelligence and Security Committee made the conclusions in a report, that said females make up only 19% of those in Senior positions within the MI6, MI5 and GCHQ.
The thing that has turned heads though, is the fact that Mumsnet might be a place mothers could be recruited as spies. Will GCHQ really monitor the Mumsnet forums to find the next ‘M‘? Maybe. Justine Roberts, the CEO of Mumsnet didn’t directly respond to the suggestion, other than to say “I’m afraid I’m unable to comment as I have an urgent appointment with a rock in St. James’s Park.”
So, if you’re a kid, keep an eye on your mother if ever she’s on Mumsnet, she might just be protecting our borders from Russian spies.
