The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

So we end up unintentionally potentially creating terrorists because they want to get revenge.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

So that area of terrorism, I would say, is likely to increase.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And that's why the importance of MI5 and counterterrorism in the UK is, I mean, I think that it's fair to say, and I don't think I'm speaking out of term here, we are on high alert.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

There's plenty been foiled.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

Of that nature.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

In terms of people who have looked at attacks on public places.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

There's plenty of those that have been foiled.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

Is it likely to happen?

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

We can turn to the insurance markets for that, and we can look at one simple thing.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

Are premiums increasing?

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And if premiums are increasing, then the risk is increasing.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And premiums are increasing.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

That's interesting.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

So if I see a market where premiums are softening, and certain premiums in Europe are softening, then I kind of know that the risk is softening.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

If I see premiums going up in a certain area, then I know the risk is going up in a certain area.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

So the insurance markets are a good indicator.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And I worked those markets for many years.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And people talk about the secret service, but the insurance markets have more intelligence than what the services have put together.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

And the reason why they have that intelligence is if you step back for a moment and you just think, why would an insurance company have more information than MI5, MI6?

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Ex-MI6 Agent REVEALS What He Really Saw Inside British Intelligence

They're insuring it.
