"Philby details how he spent years trying to work his way in - turning to journalism, working for The Times newspaper, covering the Spanish Civil War, building up contacts in the establishment and then as war came dropping hints about his desire to work for government.At last, he was interviewed and accepted in to the inner sanctum of the British state - the Secret Intelligence Service - SIS (or as it is popularly known MI6).In one of the most remarkable sections of the talk, Philby then reveals just how easy it was to steal secrets from Britain's secret service.He says that he simply made friends with the archivist who managed the files by going out two or three times a week for a drink with him.This allowed Philby to get hold of files which had nothing to do with his own job. He was apparently responsible for the deaths of many Western agents whose activities he betrayed to the Soviets during the 1940s and early ’50s.
That I did regularly year in year out. "Every evening I left the office with a big briefcase full of reports that I had written myself, full of files and actual documents from the archive.
"And all I had to do really was keep my nerve. "If there had been proper discipline in the handling of papers in SIS that would have been quite impossible.Philby goes on to explain what he did with all the documents.

Previously the best known video of Philby was him giving a 1955 press conference in his mother's London flat.On that occasion he said very little, only denying he was a communist.In this newly discovered video, for the first time, we hear Philby himself boast about what he calls his "30 years in the enemy camp".He describes himself as born into "the ruling class of the British Empire" and explains how he first was drawn towards communism at Cambridge.He details his recruitment by the Soviet intelligence service, later known as the KGB, after he returned from working with activists in Austria.The most surprising thing about his recruitment, he says, was that it happened at all since he had no real job or prospects at that moment. NATIONAL ARCHIVE FILES: In a list provided by Kim Philby to the MI6 as he fled the country for Moscow in 1963, the spy claimed he had urged the KGB to contact many of his contemporaries. Cambridge spies: Defection of 'drunken' agents shook US confidence The time when spy agencies officially didn't exist In the video he explains how he first was drawn towards communism at Cambridge You oughtn't to listen to this," he tells the audience of secret service officers to considerable laughter.
"I have to admit that was the most blatant intrigue against a man I rather liked and I admired but the instructions stood and nothing I could do would alter them. "There is one episode which is usually cited to illustrate the human cost of Philby's treachery.When he was posted to Washington DC as MI6's liaison with the CIA and FBI, he betrayed an operation to secretly send thousands of Albanians back into their country to overthrow the communist regime.In his lecture, Philby tries to turn it to his credit - even claiming he helped prevent World War Three.He claims that if he had not compromised the operation and it had succeeded, the CIA and MI6 would have tried it again in countries like Bulgaria.He says the Soviet Union would then have become involved, leading to an all-out war.While he was in Washington, two fellow Cambridge spies, Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean, fled to Moscow, leading to suspicions about Philby and his interrogation.He says there were two reasons why he got away with his espionage for so long.The first was the British class system, which could not accept one of their own was a traitor.The second was the fact that so many in MI6 had so much to lose if he was proven to be a spy.Philby did officially leave MI6 but remarkably was soon taken back.He became an agent based in Beirut under cover of being a newspaper journalist.
