Boy, I thought WE were crap!
Blimey, the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Navy are starting to make the Home Office and Mr Blair look GOOD!Ooh, we won't let them publish what happened. No, we WILL. Maybe. I dunno. No, they can bugger orf, get their commissions, retire and THEN make money out of their stories like it's always been done (at least by the ruling classes!).
I got my old Latin mistress to translate a good Army expression that often springs into my mind, usually on some crap "Aid" (is there any other sort?). Unfortunately I then immediately forgot the second part and had to look it up, so apologies if the declension (or whatever) is wrong: "Festinate et exspectate!" (tr: "hurry up and wait!"). From the queue for "operational feeding" (/"poisoning") to deployment. Looks like the military is similarly inept, on recent evidence!
However, the better one for this publishing permission débacle would be "On the bus! Off the bus!". This must, of course, be translated into all languages, for fairness. So Latin - or even pig-Latin - translations welcome so that the Home Office and MOD can adopt their new motto - completely fair to everyone as nobody, from ethnic minority language speakers, to dyslexics, to even moderately well-educated English natives can read Latin these days.
[as I get older I find myself becoming less like Colonel Pickering and MUCH more like Henry Higgins - I used to treat flowergirls as ladies, but now I treat ladies as flowergirls!]
More lions led by donkeys? Now, where was that old Latin Grammar?
