Comment: I think these hooks border on misleading. The first thoughts of your average reader would be of
MI5, the British intelligence agency. Not good if they don't click the link and read the article. 〜

Drive-by comment - It's not like we've never had similar bait & switch hooks before. It would be one thing if it was phrased to be disparaging to MI5 somehow, but it's not. I think it's fun. ♠

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough, interesting, and sourced (as is every paragraph); my first thought at seeing MI-5 was 'why has this got a dash in it, possibly not the intelligence agency'. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done. Good to go.--Launchballer 06:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
