I have to disagree with Craig that people who admire his courage are only on the left. Like Julian, I think his support transcends the lines between left and right. I also disagree that only right-wingers are found in the intelligence agencies. It's quite the opposite, at least in the U.S. In fact, both right and left seem to be splitting into camps of those who care about the common man and those who are more interested in personal gain. MI6 seems to be much closer to the latter. They certainly are not aligned with populists of any stripe.
