The first public lecture of a current Director General of MI5 is analysed. The paper highlights the contradictions, inconsistencies and anomalies in Ms Rimington's speech, disputing how this security service can be both democratic and also secret. Who MI5 chooses to investigate and for what reasons are discussed, calling into question what is considered subversive behaviour and the potential threat to civil liberties.
