  Secret Intelligence Service MI6 - UK Intelligence Agencies
The Secret Intelligence Service, sometimes known as MI6, originated in 1909 as the Foreign Section of the Secret Service Bureau, under RNR Commander, later Captain, Sir Mansfield Cumming, which was responsible for gathering intelligence overseas.
As the CIA is known as "The Company," SIS is known internally as "The Firm" and to other agencies as "The Friends." SIS is based at 85 Albert Embankment, Vauxhall Cross in London (known to those who work there as "Legoland").
MI6 also paid for a number of telephones located in a busy street in south London (Borough High Street in Southwark, opposite the Police Station) which has been identified as the spy training centre.

From a theoretical viewpoint MI6 is a neutral organisation that does not follow any governmental or pollitical ideology, however it has been reported that even the most sceptical of sceptics have proven that there is a fault in this theoretical viewpoint.
There are many established examples of this, one of them being that MI6 has been known to launch campaigns against certain politicians and organisations that they themselves feel are too Left wing or do not support the "Relationship" between the United States and Britain itself.

MI6 were successfully involved in counterintelligence against German forces throughout World War One, but after the embarrassing abduction of two of its agents based in the Netherlands in 1939, the newly created Special Operations Executive took over MI6's covert activities in Nazi Germany.
