Secret services 'must be made more transparent'

The secret services must become more transparent if they are to halt the spread of damaging conspiracy theories and increase trust in the Government, claims a leading think tank.
Yep. That's a grand idea. Somehow it seems to be strangely (but not too strangely) fitting the general direction of the Political Correctness movement.

I would also recommend to rename the Secret Service into Public Service. Let the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions manage it in a transparent way, with daily reports to Indie. Or, maybe, Minister for Women and Equality could take it over, having in mind to achieve equal representation of British women in the service.

As for the "leading think tank": someone must make sure to keep at least a window open there. Cause, you know, "transparent secret service" is surely an oxymoron. And what is an oxymoron if not a result of having some morons in a room lacking oxygen?
