MI6 is basically saying to anyone fed up with their country’s regime that they can work for British intelligence part-time

They've gotten pretty casual about calling for treason.

Double cross this one of the things the British Secret Service are most effective at.

The new rules may require that dual citizenship candidates forgo their non-British citizenship.

This isn't a policy change. It as public announcement that they've formalized a corporate state merger. The UK govt has been bought out, and announced the transition to the new corporate brand.

Speaking of transitions there's a article link on this page.

Idris Elba: The Next James Bond ‘Could Be a Black Woman‘

Idris has accepted the 007 role, and he may be about to announce his transition.

I thought he declined?

Which is a shame, because when I first heard about them pushing a black James Bond, I rolled my eyes, then I heard it would be Idris Elba and thought: "Okay, I'm actually fine with that.". That guy could totally pull off James Bond without the racial difference being a distraction.

The Jews used woke or political correctness or diversity or whatever they like to call it, in order to take over the institutions within white majority countries.

This all makes sense when you realise one of MI6's main concerns is budgeting.

I mean, if you want spie in syria. Do you take a Ginger Irish dude with large eyebrow? Or do you take a syrian civilian who wants to help the british because he hate the regime in his homeland?

No hate for irish people, I'm half Irish myself. It's just to make a point.

Recruiting natives is standard and has little to do with access as an employee to MI6. MI6 is counterterrorism, iirc. IMHO UK is being islamized.

About 54% of UK are Christian while about 5% are Muslim and about 9% are athiest. Can you elaborate on your claim? Because at first glance, it seem to me like Athiest are more relevant than muslim over there. Now, Athiest like myself have thicker skin and usually aren't offendend 24/7, but it seem to me like UK have politically correct issue, not religious issue.

First you should separate militant atheism, bolshevik in nature, from agnosticism.

Then you should consider your position as an insult to the logic you claim to defend, because any assertion in the domain of the supernatural of the hypothetical transcendent god needs its concepts and logic system defined. For example "Who's the creator's creator" does not make sense because to create means to have an unidirectional one dimensional time axis defined.

Back to Islam, consider that it is a political system and its backers are full of oil money. Do you trust any public servants to report the actual statistics of islamic presence?

Have you considered demography?

Opening up to foreigners = opening up to people with either no real attachment to your country or with an agenda against it. For MI6 it is suicide by a thousand papercuts.

Hum, so... I'm a financial analyst and an economist. I work for private firm so I won't claim to know the work ethic of public servent. But usualy, data analyst aren't interested in politics. They do stats. Now, 5% muslim mean about 5% of the population claim to be muslim. You are correct that it doesn't mean the support to muslim. There are many other factors such as policies, mediatic presence or other stuff. Foreigners aren't the same as minority altough they overlaps. I'm fairly certain MI6 require citizenship to work within the UK. So those Minority are often people who Chooses the UK over other country which mean they like the UK. You are correct that they might see a different UK than the one native's british know. But the same argument could be said of Irish and scottish. So the real question would be How much specific minorities are affecting MI6 more than the Irish or scottish. And to that question, I'd add that I'm fairly certain MI6 do psychometric evaluation of their canditate since Canada does for the vast majority of their gouvernment jobs. So if Canada does It, the UK probably do as well. I'm quite neutral on the subject, but I do agree on the point that meritocraty should be above diversity.

This makes sense but, what if diversity is not an end but a mean? I don't believe people that got powerful by exploiting the less powerful and the environment suddenly becoming interested in social justice and ecology as an objective. You know who is the most active in green energy and waste treatment here in Italy? the mafia.

diversity is death to those who participate.

This has always been common tactics for spy agencies. They ALL do it... as they should. Saying its because of "diversity" is just some pointless modern day excuse for it.

No biggie. It's just a new word for "double agents".
