Recruitment isn't a problem if there is a worthwhile mission. Things like the Berlin Airlift and Marshall Plan motivate people.

The idea that GCHQ is doing anything other than preserving Britain's role as junior partner in an increasingly immoral American empire is kind of laughable.

At this point, what do America and Britain stand for?

Pretty much this, they pay crap.

That and a lot of the people with the genuine skills they need are actually on the other side of the spectrum from them on things like liberty, free speech and privacy.

Fuck 'em.
