In today’s episode, we sit down with David Bickford, Former Legal Director - MI5 & MI6, to understand how intelligence agencies operate, the laws that govern them, and what really happens behind the scenes.
We discuss how intelligence agencies recruit spies, what makes someone suitable for the job, and who holds more power between the CIA and Britain’s intelligence agencies. David also shares how he used fake passports during his career and recounts his first UK operation, when an intelligence officer helped catch a Czechoslovak spy.
The conversation also covers his work helping establish tax laws in the Turks and Caicos Islands, his investigation into drug trafficking and money laundering, and why London’s cocaine problem is bigger than most people realise. We also explore the human emotions that drive wars, drug abuse, and organised crime, and why America became a global superpower while Britain lost its empire.
