Britain’s intelligence services have launched a summer internship programme – but white British students are banned from applying.
MI5, MI6 and GCHQ are offering students the opportunity of a paid internship next summer, promising that the opportunity represents the “first steps towards an exciting full-time career”.
It says that summer interns will not “just be sitting on the sidelines – this is your opportunity to get unique access to our operations, gain experience, and make key contributions to real projects”.
The advert goes on to explain that the 10-11 week “intelligence internship” is only open to students from a “Black, Asian, mixed heritage or ethnic minority” as well as those from a “socially or economically disadvantaged” background.
But any white British students from socially deprived families would not be considered for internships which could lead to a career as a spy.
The advert explains that they are “confining the applications for this internship to those within this demographic due to a current underrepresentation in our workforce”.
The advert states the internship is open to applications from “white other” groups such as Romany Gypsy, Scottish or Irish Travellers.
Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, called the internship programme “racist” and called for it to be axed.
“I understand the need to encourage applications from a wide range of backgrounds, including underrepresented minorities,” he said.
“But this is an overtly racist policy and it should be immediately discontinued. It implies it is impossible for any white person to be deprived or deserving of assistance.”
One former senior Royal Air Force (RAF) officer said he believed the decision not to allow poor white students to apply is “blatant discrimination”.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
If you intend to target your intelligence services against whites, you must purge the ranks of whites.
