In addition to admiring the heroine’s bravery, I also admire the heroine’s clear understanding of her work

The movie is very good, there are ups and downs and conflicts. It was a bit too sudden when I was interested in max later, for example, I was looking forward to a wonderful court debate.

There are a few points that are quite touching. One is that the grandfather and Martin discussed censorship when they are discussing whether to report this matter. A kat was detained and answered the inspector what her job is (really clear thinking, clear thinking. )

I believe that all information collected in the name of the public should be made public. The only question is when.

I have also always believed that censorship when called for should be based on security issues alone not on whether a news report might embarrass a government.

split line-

What were you employed to do?

I translated signals intelligence and I reported anything I thought might be of interest to my clients. The foreign office, the ministry of defense.

So you worked for the British government.

Not, not really. Governments change. I work for the British people. I gather intelligence so that the government can protect the British people. I do not gather intelligence so that the government can lie to the British people.

Dividing line two

I don't object to being asked to collect information that could help prevent a terror attack. What I object to is being asked to gather intelligence to help fix a vote at the UN and deceive the world into going to war.
