It’s always been something of a mystery from
where Number 2 was recruited. The Foreign office is one source, or perhaps from
within the depths of British Intelligence. Countries like America, Australia, Britain, Wales, Yorkshire, and now it seems Oxford University. And why not, after all at one time,
as I’ve no idea whether this still stands today for British Intelligence, Cambridge University was the place for recruiting spies.
The Cambridge spies were a ring of spies recruited
by agents of the Soviet
Union. Four
members of the ring were originally identified: Kim Philby, Donald
Duart Maclean, Guy Burgess, and Anthony
Blunt. They were once jointly known as the Cambridge Four and later as the Cambridge Five, the number increased as more evidence came to
light. The term "Cambridge" refers to the recruitment of the
group during their education at the University of Cambridge in the 1930s. The evidence is clear
enough, as the camera never lies, as apparently Number 2 is recruited from Oxford University!
