#1 MI5 seems to be afflicted with the same mindset as the U.S. intelligence agencies.

Q: What is it you would say you do here?

Intelligence Agency: Why, we gather intelligence!

Q: I see. Is that it? Anything else come to mind?

IA: Um, like what?

Q: Well, like act on said intelligence to prevent nefarious plots?

IA: Oh good Heavens no. That might interfere with our gathering of intelligence!

Still, when youre ordered to treat it like a police investigation and you actually have to wait for the crime to happen and then present evidence of said crime in a way that scores of bastard defense attorneys and inept prosecutors cant screw up a convictionwell, its easy to see how they got to mindset.
