Another big name giving our sport a high profile. Sort of... http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2009/jul/05/mi6-facebook-sawers-wife-miliband It was just the usual sort of stuff that gets posted on Facebook: embarrassing family photographs, humdrum details of home life and a few congratulatory messages from relatives and friends on that promotion to the top job. Nothing to get excited about – unless the top job in question happens to be as the director of Britain's secret intelligence agency, MI6. And the man pictured in the questionable swimwear happens to be the next C himself.
Sir John Sawers, who takes up the post in November, found himself at the centre of the embarrassing security row after it was revealed that his wife, Shelley, had posted the sort of information that MI6 operatives are supposed to keep under wraps on her Facebook page. She had not taken advantage of Facebook's privacy settings, so all the information was available to any of the 200 million users [sic] in the open-access London network, as well as being searchable on Google. ... [One of the things that] Lady Shelley Sawers' Facebook page revealed: Sir John wears stripy blue swimming trunks and is apparently partial to a game of beach frisbee. __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
