I took this article off the Daily Mail website so I don’t think it can be a spoof.
The story so far:
The British spy chief, Alex Allan has been “mysteriously’ taken ill but the government assures us that it can’t be “anything other than natural causes’.
Nonetheless, a leading expert thinks its the Russians since they “are acknowledged masters of assassination by poison”.
Coincidently, a report has just come out warning that “Russia is now the third biggest threat to national security after Al Qaeda and Iranian nuclear proliferation.”
Security sources are almost certain that it is not Al-Queda.
The Butler Enquiry “specified that the Committee chairman should be someone of high standing within Whitehall but who had no further career ambitions.” Seemingly they meant it.
A source cryptically revealed that ‘It is extremely difficult to find someone who is both extremely talented and willing to accept a job knowing that it will be their last” Indeed, it must be.
