#3 Just like in the purge of the CIA, I suspect that MI-6 had become infested with "-philes", whose judgement and even loyalty was questionable. You cannot have an emotional investment in a country you are spying on, or it clouds your opinions. Nor can you give a pass to a culture, religion or philosophy that you admire. Imagine having spies of pre-war Italy who looked at Mussolini's fascism as admirable because "it makes the trains run on time" and "he has supressed the Mafia".
